Next Generation Learning Challenges

Some requests for proposals asked for for this:
“I’m writing to let you know that the Next Generation Learning Challenges is releasing its second wave of a series of RFPs to solicit proposals for technology applications that can improve college readiness for 7th through 9th grade students. Specifically, this second wave will focus on next generation approaches to learning aligned with the Common Core State Standards, as well as next generation assessments.”

Just wanted you to know.
