A full year of progress in advancing education reform across America is documented in each of the Foundation for Excellence in Education's Annual Reports. This report presents the broad range of initiatives that the Foundation for Excellence in Education is working on--policies that personalize the learning experience for students, that challenge them with college- or career-ready expectations, that prioritize early-grade literacy, and that hold schools accountable to parents and taxpayers. Following a section describing the Foundation for Excellence in Education (Excel"in"Ed), a national leader in the education reform movement, this report provides a year in review to illustrate Excel"in"Ed's accomplishments.
