Dear Colleagues,

The Four Assurances that currently guide the education segment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be an underlying theme in all other federal education legislation in the years ahead.

One thing is very clear: we cannot continue to try to educate students within a system that no longer works.

If we are to move education where it needs to be, the International Center believes we need to view the Assurances from a different perspective.

Please download our newest briefs about the Four Assurances:

The Impact of the Four Assurances on Classrooms and Schools, outlines and describes specific actions schools, districts, and states can take to address the Four Assurances to improve student performance.

Where’s the Finish Line in the Four Assurances, describes what the International Center believes is the true intent of the Four Assurances for creating long-term student achievement progress.

Please feel free to share this with colleagues.

Sincerely,
Dr. Willard R. Daggett
Chief Executive Officer
International Center for Leadership in Education
