Where are we now? 4th year of transitioning to College & Career Ready
Standards in Math and English Language Arts (ELA)
First year of implementing new College & Career Ready Standards in Science and History/Government.
Kansas just piloted the new Assessment in Math and ELA in Spring of 2014.
All 286 School Districts are piloting new teacher/leader evaluation instruments that include student growth in performance on multiple measures.
Where is Accountability?
Accountability is customized at the building level, looking at:• Achievement• Growth• Gaps• Reducing Non-Proficient Students
Each building has a different target, based on where they started.
We have moved away from annual AYP targets to student growth over time.

has the academic preparation, cognitive preparation, technical
skills, and employability skills to be successful in
postsecondary education, in the attainment of an
industry recognized certification or in the
workforce, without the need for remediation.

*Estimates
What If? We could increase the % of graduates entering
postsecondary institutions? We could decrease the % of our graduates
needing remediation postsecondary? We could increase the % of students successfully
completing their first year? Second year? We could get more kids into “hard to fill”
programs? THEN, we could close the gap between the % of
jobs requiring postsecondary completion, and the % of Kansans acquiring postsecondary completion?
