The Board of Education has selected the company Achieve, Inc (What
happen to "Alecks?") to develop the math test for teachers. I assume
that they are talking about the company from Cambridge and Washington,
DC and not Achieve, Inc out in Palo Alto (does programs for mental
health, specializing in early intervention). The local Achieve, Inc.
list on their web page the following:
" an independent, bipartisan, not-for-profit organization formed in
1996 by governors and corporate CEOs who shared a powerful befief
that:
'. . . high academic standards, demanding test to measure those
standards, and accountability for performance can push our schools and
students to much higher achievement.'"
A list of the Achieve staff can be found on their web site:
