Abstract
The U.S. Department of Education Annual Plan for 2002-03 establishes six goals for the agency and the nation. They include creating a culture of achievement, improving student achievement, developing safe schools and strong character, transforming education into an evidence-based field, enhancing the quality of and access to postsecondary and adult education, and establishing management excellence. The plan integrates the policy shifts embodied by No Child Left Behind with the management improvements of the President's Management Agenda. This document describes the six goals in detail by breaking them down into component objectives, which, in turn, are broken down into strategies and action steps. Charts and figures serve to illustrate points made in the text. Appendix A provides a brief overview of the highlights of some of the collaborative initiatives with partnering agencies. Appendix B includes a program-to-objective crosswalk. Appendix C describes data-quality standards, and how they are designed and used within the Department of Education. Appendix D is a glossary of acronyms.
