Round Two RTT Finalists: Some Cliff Notes from DE

Paul Herdman of the Rodel Foundation of Delaware

Right now, 18 "round-two" states and DC are prepping for their high stakes interviews. They're probably also breathing a collective sigh of relief that their applications are out the door, attending to fires left burning while they were working on their proposals, and catching up on sleep. Yet, with all this, there are other things that the finalists might want to add to their to-do lists prior to the RTTT announcement in a few weeks.

While the Rodel Foundation of Delaware is not directly engaged in the implementation of the state's RTTT work, we are endeavoring to be as helpful as possible in our state. I'm looking for your input, and offering a few observations from the sidelines that I hope will be helpful as other states think about what they should be doing before September. I've captured them under the headings of Capacity, Communications, and Courage.
