Achieve has put together a set of materials--"Taking Root: Strategies for Sustaining the College- and Career-Ready Agenda"--that seeks to help states develop and implement strategies to support the sustainability of the college- and career-ready agenda. This sustainability audit was created for states to use to evaluate their own likelihood of maintaining this agenda. Achieve's "Agenda" identified ten overarching strategies for states to consider as they work to ensure their college- and career-ready agenda will be sustained. This audit distills those ten strategies into seven indicators, which are all strongly associated with sustainable reform, and uses key questions in each of the seven areas. The possible answers indicate supporting or limiting conditions that exist in each area. Many of the examples are drawn from current activities across states or from the four case studies developed for "Taking Root." States are encouraged to use this audit to evaluate the strength of their political, social, and economic conditions within each of the seven indicators. The goal of the audit is to highlight states' strengths and weaknesses and help them prioritize the areas in which they may need to devote additional time and resources.
