Abstract	This report serves as a resource on student achievement initiatives and offers a perspective or framework through which to view them. It is divided into five sections. Section 1 briefly explores the history of the current student-achievement movement and the issues surrounding it. Section 2 highlights the findings of the National School Boards Association's (NSBA) Student Achievement Survey. The survey was sent to a stratified random sample of 2,000 urban, suburban, and rural districts in 1997. The superintendent and the school board president each received a copy of the survey. A total of 955 superintendents (49 percent of those who received the survey) responded. Section 3 provides close-ups of eight districts and their student-achievement efforts. Section 4 summarizes many of the student-achievement profiles not included in the previous section. These descriptions provide the names of school districts, contact names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. Section 5 lists resources school boards can use to build a knowledge base on student achievement. The report concludes with the NSBA's mission statement and a description of its vision.
