American Diploma Project NetworkTo make college and career readiness a priority in the states, in 2005, Achieve launched the American Diploma Project ( ADP ) Network. Starting with only a handful of states, the Network has now grown to include 35 states educating 85 percent of all U.S. public school students. Through the ADP Network governors, state education officials, postsecondary leaders and business executives work together to improve postsecondary preparation by aligning high school standards, graduation requirements and assessment and accountability systems with the demands of college and careers.Research and Development: Achieve regularly conducts R&D to help advance the work of the ADP Network states as well as the education reform community at large. Achieve's research includes studies of high school graduation requirements, state strategies for improving high school graduation rates, and evaluations of what high school exit exams and widely-used college admissions and placement exams actually measure.
