Publications and Materials

The Alliance for Excellent Education produces a wide variety of reports, fact sheets, issue and policy briefs, and other materials. Together, these comprise a one-stop information center for policymakers; education organizations; the corporate, labor, and funding communities; the media; parents; administrators; teachers; students; and a concerned public. Through them, readers can better understand  the crisis in America’s high schools and the importance of making every child a high school graduate.

Alliance publications synthesize research and information about promising practices in order to enlighten the national debate about education policies and encourage the development and implementation of federal and national policies that support effective high school reform and increased student achievement and attainment.

One of the Alliance’s key publications is the biweekly Straight A's newsletter, which focuses on education news and events both in Washington, DC, and around the country. Its format makes information on federal education policy accessible to everyone from elected officials and policymakers to parents and community leaders.
