Redefining Ready! is a national initiative launched by the AASA (The School Superintendents Association) to introduce new research-based metrics to more appropriately assess that students are college ready, career ready and life ready.
The initiative is a response to dismal college and career readiness scores reported by standardized test makers that fail to portray a comprehensive picture of student potential. Students learn in a variety of ways. They should be able to demonstrate readiness in a variety of ways. Visit the Redefining Ready! website here for more details.
