Description

The Department of Education (Education) created the Race to the Top program (RTT) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. From 2010 through 2011, Education awarded $4 billion in competitive grant funds to 19 states to reform core areas of K-12 education. RTT states also committed to building capacity to implement and sustain reforms. It was previously reported that capacity challenges had adversely affected RTT implementation and could hinder efforts to sustain the reform. This report further examines these challenges, including (1) the effect of RTT on reform and capacity challenges that states and districts faced; (2) how helpful Educationäó»s assistance was to states in building and sustaining capacity; and (3) lessons learned that could inform future reform efforts. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
