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 firstyear college courses.
Alabama’s Students
18% 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.”
