Welcome to Measure UP: The Podcast for Transformational School Leaders where we talk about better measurement for better decisions.

This week we visit the Blue Ribbon Commission recommendations as they relate to costs of implementation of the proposed changes to the graduation requirements. In this episode, we explore the numbers proposed against the numbers needed - and things don't add up. Take a listen and start thinking about what you can do to address the proposed changes today so you aren't caught without resources to be successful. If we want to measure up, we need to prepare for effective implementation - and that starts with discussions TODAY.
