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 Outcomes, Birth through Career – The readiness, academic achievement and postsecondary degree or certificate attainment of Arizona children/students is competitive with the highest performing countries in the world and the achievement of the average student is the best in the country. Highly effective schools and educators ensure that all students graduate high school college and career ready.
- Global Leadership- Arizona’s students are prepared by their education to be creative, adaptable, critical thinkers, continuous learners, innovators and entrepreneurs who can compete for the best opportunities and increase American quality of life in the 21st century.
- Commitment to All Students – Our students most impacted by the achievement gap including low-income, minority, English Language Learner and students with disabilities have the same opportunity to succeed academically as the top performing students.
- Strategic Investment with Demonstrated Results – Arizona’s education system is adequately funded and produces excellence for all students efficiently.
- Collective Impact – Stakeholders along the entire educational continuum, birth through career, along with supporting social service providers, non-profits, businesses and the public sector work in alignment to produce the greatest benefit for students.
