New PWR Act Website Serves as Resource Hub for Four Key Strategies

Today, EdSystems released a newly re-imagined website for the Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness (PWR) Act. The new design more clearly introduces the Act’s four central strategies: Postsecondary & Career Expectations (PaCE), College & Career Pathway Endorsements, transitional instruction, and the competency-based education pilot. Each strategy’s sub-page serves as a resource hub, showcasing key resources from state agencies, guidance and implementation supports, and exemplars from the field.
