Abstract: Ensuring that students not only transition successfully from high school to college--but also complete college prepared to enter the workforce and earn a living wage--is one of the greatest challenges faced by our education systems. Math education lies at the heart of this challenge. Misalignment in math education can disrupt students' academic progress, forcing them to repeat high school course content in college or be assigned to remedial math sequences. As a result, students feel demoralized, question their own abilities, and lose time and money. "Aligned by Design" examines key challenges and opportunities related to aligning math policies across educational systems to ensure students develop the mathematical foundations they need to navigate their paths through high school and college successfully. This research is based on interviews with education officials working at the forefront of system redesign. The report offers five cross-system strategies that states can implement to expand options, enhance preparation, and eliminate barriers for students transitioning from high school to college.
