High School to Postsecondary Alignment
- Communication channels between K-12 and postsecondary

- Differences between the K-12 and postsecondary environments
- Certification, training and employment of math teachers/counselors in secondary education
Florida College System Mathematics Sequences
- Requirements at the state level are too broad
- Differentiation at local levels
- Many developmental education courses offered
- Statewide course numbering too vague
- Differences in course prerequisites
- Placement of students into the correct courses
- Student program changes
College to University Alignment
- Differences in course prerequisites and course content
- Differences in learning outcomes based on meta-majors/programs of study
- Inconsistent course offerings between institutions
