Just for the Kids

The National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA) is the national sponsor of Just for the Kids (JFTK), which provides school, district, and other education leaders with essential system performance and best practice information they need to make sound decisions.

Since its inception in 1995, Just for the Kids' primary focus has been to find and fulfill every school's potential for reaching excellence in student achievement. JFTK services and tools have been created to support school systems that accept the challenge of preparing ALL students for college and skilled careers. The JFTK strategy toward achieving excellence is embodied in three basic steps:

Step 1 - Inform: Analyzing school achievement potential

Step 2 - Inspire: Learning from practices of consistently higher performers

Step 3 - Improve: Intentional and targeted improvement planning
