Redefining Ready! Initiative
Redefining Ready! Cohort
Redefining Ready! is a national initiative launched by AASA, The School Superintendents
Association, to introduce new research-based metrics to more
appropriately assess that students are college ready, career ready and
life ready. The initiative is a response to dismal college and
career readiness scores reported by standardized test makers that fail
to portray a comprehensive picture of student potential. Learn more about the new
college and
career readiness indicators and join our national campaign to help school districts and systems across the nation continue Redefining Ready!

WINNERS ANNOUNCED
The Redefining Ready! National Scholarship 2018 lets America’s graduating high school seniors tell the world how they are college, career, and life ready beyond a single test score. Examples include completion of an internship, AP or dual credit classes while in high school, near-perfect attendance, or participation in clubs, sports, and school activities.
The story were told via a 30 sec video posted on YouTube and shared on Twitter by using the hashtag #RedefiningReady and tagging @AASAHQ and @Hobsons.
We are grateful for the sponsorship of our generous partners which help make these meetings possible.
