Common Core in Alabama

This analysis examines the significant economic implications of reducing dropout rates in Alabama. If the state could decrease dropout rates by just 2% each year over 20 years, the per capita GDP could see substantial growth. The paper also highlights the benefits of implementing Common Core State Standards, which aim to improve educational outcomes and workforce preparedness. It emphasizes the need for alignment with college and career expectations and consistency in educational standards across states. The findings draw on various sources, including national assessments and educational reports.
