Arizona schools pay a lot of attention to bringing students who are struggling to meet standards up to proficiency.

Brandon Wright is the institute’s editorial director.
Last month, the Arizona Board of Education adopted a new school accountability plan, which takes effect for the current school year.
Karol Schmidt is the board’s executive director.
