Alabama’s 2020 Learners

Objectives

1. All students perform at or above proficiency and show continuous improvement (achievement/growth).

2. All students succeed (gap closure).

3. Every student graduates from high school (grad rate).

4. Every student graduates high school prepared (college and career readiness).

Plan 2020 STRATEGIES for Learners

Develop and implement a unified PreK through college and career readiness plan.

Develop and adopt college- and career-ready aligned standards in all subject areas.

Create and implement a balanced and meaningful assessment and accountability system.

ARMT and ACT

• If scores on the ACT will be the determinant of college/career readiness, what is the correlation between ARMT scores and the ACT?

• If we correlate ACT and ARMT Level III and IV the correlation is less than .5

ACT College Readiness Benchmarks are scores on the ACT subject area tests that represent the level of achievement required for

students to have a 50% chance of obtaining a B or higher or about a 75% chance of obtaining a C or higher in corresponding credit-bearing

first-year college courses.

Alabama’s Students18% of 2012 ACT-Tested High School

Graduates met College Readiness Benchmarks in all four subject areas.

3% of Minority Students met the College Readiness Benchmarks in all four subject areas.

“We can whenever we choose successfully teach all

children whose schooling is of importance to us.

We already know more than we need to do that.

Whether or not we do it must finally depend on how we feel about the fact that we

haven’t so far.”
