A HIGH EXPECTATIONS MOVEMENT TO IMPROVE EDUCATION INSPIRING A SHARED VISION OF EXCELLENCE

Arizona and our students deserve an education system recognized as a model of excellence across the nation and around the world. Expect More Arizona unites individuals and organizations that aspire to achieve this vision and are committed to making our education system the best it can be – from birth through career.

The path to higher expectations and educational excellence requires great teachers, motivated students, engaged parents, committed leaders and supportive communities – all working together to increase student academic achievement and ultimately their readiness to succeed in college and career. For this reason, Expect More Arizona champions:

  • World-Class Academic Achievement
    Our students graduate high school ready to succeed in a postsecondary program and are prepared to have the most options and opportunities in life.
  • Excellence for All
    Arizonans are committed to realizing the potential and value of every child’s life. All students have the opportunity to attain an excellent education, regardless of zip code, background, or special needs.
  • Commitment to Innovation
    Our education system develops critical thinkers, innovative problem solvers, and strong communicators who value diversity and global leadership.
  • Strategic Investment
    Sufficient resources are invested to produce excellence and are prioritized to support highly effective educators and schools throughout the entire education continuum – birth through career.
  • Communities Working Together
    Arizona’s community leaders, voters, educators, parents and students work together with urgency, optimism and a long-term view toward making Arizona education the best in the nation.

High quality education improves the options and opportunities available to our students and our state.
