A New Vision For Alabama Education In the knowledge-based economy of the future, a dynamic, healthy and prosperous Alabama will increasingly rely on the education of its population. The first step to realizing that vision is a high-performing system of public schools that challenges all children with world-class expectations for understanding English and its rich literature, mathematics, history and the requirements of a democracy, the sciences and the arts. Such a system demands educators with a deep understanding of the subject being taught, a personal allegiance to continuous self-improvement and a commitment to helping all children find their success in school, careers and their lives thereafter. It is through promoting and supporting such a vision for each child’s education that Alabama can create a system of public education that is equitable, accountable, and just.

ThIS New Vision for Alabama Education IS Based IN Part on Our understanding of what the future holds The public school population in Alabama is shrinking. The kindergarten class of 2017 is 4.9% smaller than was the kindergarten class of this year’s high school graduates. The makeup of our classes has changed and will continue to change. The Hispanic population of 2017 kindergarten class is 231% larger than was the Hispanic population of the 2005 kindergarten class. The U.S. Department of Commerce expects the Hispanic population in Alabama to double once again by 2025.

The Goals For The Strategic Plan That will Make Such an Education System possible A Prepared Graduate Multiple Pathways to Higher Education and Careers Superior Educator Preparation Continuous Improvement of World-Class Educators Equitable and Accountable Systems Healthy and Safe Systems and Schools Engaged Families and Communities

NBCT Research (2017) Students taught by Board-certified teachers learn more than students taught by other teachers. Estimates of the increase in learning are on the order of an additional one to two months of instruction. The positive impact of having a Board-certified teacher (NBCT) is even greater for minority and low-income students.
