Abstract: The landscape of American education continues to face a period of significant transition. The most recent data from the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often referred to as "The Nation's Report Card," show math and reading scores have experienced historic declines across nearly every state. To address these challenges and build toward a stronger future, ExcelinEd has released its 2026 Education Policy Playbook. This document serves as a comprehensive resource for state leaders, distilling a decade of research into actionable, student-centered policy solutions. The playbook follows a three-pronged roadmap: (1) improving the existing system; (2) creating alternatives for families; and (3) reimagining the current landscape into the framework ExcelinEd would like to see.
