The states participating in Achieving the Dream have worked with Jobs for the Future and each other to develop the following framework specifying high-leverage state policies that can promote student success in community colleges. The framework is organized as a self-assessment tool: states can use this document to look at current policies, identify gaps, facilitate in-state conversations, and set priorities for future efforts to strengthen state policies in the following areas that can make a difference to institutions and individuals:
- Data and Performance Measurement Systems
- Student Success Policies
- K-12 and Postsecondary Alignment Policies
- Transfer and Articulation Policies (two-year to four-year)
- Financial Aid Policies
