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

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.

“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.”
