|
| Organization Name: | Alliance for Excellent Education |
| Company Line: | The mission of the Alliance for Excellent Education is to promote high school transformation to make it possible for every child to graduate prepared for post-secondary learning and success in life. |
| Bottom Line: | Alliance for Excellent Education favors Common Core State Standards, digital learning, and NCLB (ESEA) waivers. President Bob Wise, former governor of West Virginia, heads a board of highly paid executives, “Waivers offer states a tremendous opportunity; rather than being constrained by the decade-old No Child Left Behind Act, states can design and implement innovative reforms that improve their education systems and more effectively prepare their students for college and a career,” he said, even though the A4EE has produced research showing that such waivers push kids out of high school and that leads to lower graduation rates. |
