Achieve Hartford

Shared responsibility: Achieve Hartford increases the level of responsibility that stakeholders take for improving schools and closing the achievement gap by facilitating coalitions, partnerships and stakeholder engagement at the city level, the neighborhood level, and even the school level. This includes our forums and focus groups on topics such as student centered learning, our community events on the state of schools, and our coalition work on the topic of college and career readiness. Monitor and drive accountability: accountability requires an external view; Achieve Hartford provides that perspective. As an independent monitor of the Hartford public school district, Achieve Hartford gathers, analyzes and reports on data to focus attention on student outcomes and what is and is not working in Hartford schools. In these ways, we drive district and city accountability to graduate students who are truly college and career ready. This includes our research and evaluation efforts, uploaded to our data website, as well as a portion of our weekly education matters and other publications.
