Arizona State Board Of Education Strategic Plan 2024
The 2024 Strategic Plan for the Arizona State Board of Education focuses on four key priorities: Postsecondary Access, Matriculation, and Persistence; Early Literacy; Special Education; and Teacher Recruitment and Retention. The plan outlines specific goals and levers (strategies) for each priority. For example, to increase postsecondary access, the board will investigate adding elements to the A-F accountability formula, support relevant legislation, analyze data to identify successful strategies, and convene stakeholders. In early literacy, the plan emphasizes the science of reading, advocating for relevant professional development and opposing legislation that minimizes early literacy policies. For special education, the plan involves reviewing and revising rules, investigating A-F accountability adjustments, and supporting relevant legislation. Finally, for teacher recruitment and retention, the plan focuses on data analysis, supporting mentorship programs, and reviewing educator preparation program data to identify and promote successful practices.
