This strategic plan establishes a clear and focused direction for improving student outcomes across Alaska, grounded in the five strategic priorities of the Alaska's Education Challenge. These priorities include supporting all students to read at grade level by the end of third grade, increasing career, technical, and culturally relevant education, closing achievement gaps through equitable educational rigor and resources, preparing, attracting, and retaining effective education professionals, and improving student safety and well-being. The plan translates these priorities into measurable, three-year SMART goals designed to drive meaningful progress and ensure every student's success in school and beyond.
