Michele Hayes, Kansas Learning Network Director Complementary Work: School Improvement and Kansas Education Systems Accreditation (KESA) Michele Hayes, Kansas Learning Network Director Collaboratively with teacher licensure and accreditation team

Objectives Identify similarities between the KESA and CSI requirements. Identify how the day to day requirements of Title 1 in schools support the overarching accreditation goals and school improvement. Generate questions about how KESA, CSI, and Title I work together within a system. Examine possible solutions for not duplicating efforts and documentation. Begin by surveying the audience…. Like Me.... I work in a district with Title I schools I am familiar with the 5Rs I could explain the Rs to someone else I have been part of a leadership team reaviewing the 5Rs The Title I schools in my district are schoolwide The Title I schools in my district are targeted-assisted I have seenTitle 1 school improvement plan I have had an active part in implementing school improvement efforts Our district has previously had school improvement support from the Kansas Learning Network

Purpose and Requirements of Title I Ensure that all children have a fair, equal and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic standards. Plan and Implement 1 active Indicator in each of the five areas Leadership and Decision Making Curriculum, Assessment, and Instructional Planning Classroom Instruction, Parent School and Community Tiered Systems The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was passed in December 2015 by both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The President signed the bill a few days later. It is important to understand that ESSA will change some regulations, remove some regulations, and add new regulations to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) which is already in place. However, ESSA leaves most of the current ESEA law intact. -Schoolwide- all schools will be in the online system within the next 5-7 years. -If working in KansaStar for CSI, your school improvement plan becomes your Title I plan, as well. -Assurances and oversight

Purpose and Requirements of KESA The systems approach gives districts the leverage to address systemic issues by identifying the underlying causes and then implement structures and behaviors necessary to effect sustainable change across the district. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I5YvLm5KXI On Tuesday, June 14, 2016, the Kansas State Board of Education voted to approve KESA as the new K-12 accreditation model for Kansas.
