To dramatically improve “achievement per student” in Arizona, the Center for the Future of Arizona and the Beat the Odds Institute are committed to actively supporting the following state goals:

1	Raise Arizona’s high school graduation rate to 88.6% by 2020.
2	Reconfigure student options beyond the 10th grade to enable students to blend high school completion with postsecondary education via multiple pathways ranging from early college admission to industry-certified career education.
3	Adopt P-20 Council recommendations to significantly increase the number of math and science teachers in Arizona.

To align Arizona student performance goals with national and global standards:

1	Achieve the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) standard of “proficient” in all fields by 2020 and the NAEP standard of “advanced” by 2030.
2	Achieve international TIMMS standards in science and math that are comparable to the top five nations by 2020.
