5. Kansas leads the world in the success of each student..
A NEW Vision for Kansas….
Kansas leads the world in the success of each student..
Based on the feedback received across the state, the board has adopted as its new vision for education “Kansas leads the world in the success of each student.”
We intend to challenge the status quo, move away from placing emphasis on a single test score and focus more on helping each student identify and achieve their career aspirations.
Teachers, administrators and support staff already are doing great work preparing Kansas’ students for success, and this new vision stands to unite our efforts across the state. You will hear us say we need to rethink how our schools are asked to operate. From a state perspective, we will look at every requirement to determine if and how we are supporting or impeding our schools’ abilities to address the needs of each child.
