Sam Spragens (’88) cannot speak about education without being reverential to-ward her mother. It was the Marion County teacher’s passion for education that seta tone for Sam’s successes as a student in the classroom and throughout her ca-reer. Today, Sam manages guest services at ESPN Wide World of Sports in WaltDisney World. She is among the college’s alumni featured in this year’s magazine.I wonder if Sam or the other alums we visited with recently imagined the illus-

trious careers their futures held when they sat for exams in Dickey Hall, SeatonBuilding and Taylor Education Building. I wonder if they ever dreamed they wouldbe flying Federal Express’ first airplanes, playing in seven straight NFL Pro Bowls,being printed on the pages of National Geographic magazine, working at Inteland Apple during the two companies’ foundational glory years in Silicon Valley,or flying fighter jets in the Air Force.Careers our alumni experience prove that a degree in education equips ourstudents with skills and knowledge that can be applied to any workplace envi-ronment or occupational pursuit.Clayta Ross (’65) told us, “I have had several lives but there is a thread thatruns through them all – it’s education.” Alumnus Larry Gossett (’70) concurs.“Teaching is teaching, whether it’s teaching a kid to do long division, hit abaseball or fly a jet.”Learning how to teach yields insight into the learning process and an un-

derstanding of how it works. Most importantly, it develops the ability to passalong that knowledge to new generations of learners. Today, the College’s faculty, students,

staff and alumni are continuing to develop and apply knowledge that encourages lifelong learning

and shapes how people teach, learn and lead in schools, colleges and communities. As an alumnus of the College, your support is essential to the ongoing mission of the College

and the academic success of our students. As donor Larry Gossett often challenges us, “If we can

be number one in basketball, why can’t we be number one in education?” I agree, and hope youwill join us in this effort. Our donors choose to support the college for a variety of reasons, but I

think Larry summed it up best when he said he gives “because I’m blessed, and I’m a Wildcat.”Since becoming dean of the UK College of Education three years ago, I’ve been impressed by

the loyalty displayed by UK alumni. It’s true for our College, as well as the teaching profession it-

self. Alumna Sam Spragens is the perfect example of this kind of loyalty. When her motherstopped teaching to raise four children, Sam told us she never really stopped teaching.“I remember many evenings around the dinner table with friends that became college and ca-

reer counseling sessions with my mother. When I came home from UK and announced I wasgoing to be a Sports and Recreation major, she was not initially thrilled. But she was relieved when

I told her it was a department in the College of Education.”Whether you’re a recent graduate or finished school a few decades ago, I hope the stories of the

alumni highlighted in this magazine will encourage you to view learning as a life-long experience

and challenge you to invest in the learners in your life, just as teachers have invested in you.Sincerely,

Mary John O’Hair, Dean

To anyone else, it may not have been a big deal. But for RebekaKnight it was very serious.When the five-year-old noticed that the Ethiopian flag was missing

from the outer walls of Bradley Hall on the University of Kentucky cam-pus, she wanted to know why. See, Re-beka is a native of Ethiopia, adopted byCollege of Education faculty memberVictoria Knight and her husband,Robert, and she was very proud that hernative flag had been flying on campus.But her dad had no answer to explain itsabsence.Riding by Bradley Hall every morning

on the way to school at the College’sEarly Childhood Laboratory, Rebeka con-tinued to ask why her flag was gone. Fi-nally, Robert decided to find out. Thepair went into the building, not reallyknowing whom to ask, and they wentfrom office to office until they foundLaura Anschel.“Rebeka walked right up to within

two feet of me,” said Anschel, administrative accountant in the UK Of-fice of International Affairs. “She looked me right in the eye and said,‘What happened to the flag from Ethiopia?’ Then she looked shyly

down at the floor. It was sweet. I admired her courage all the more be-cause there was a sense of reticence and shyness about her.”Anschel explained to Rebeka and her dad the process for displaying

the flags on Bradley Hall but offered to place her flag back outside fora while. Anschel let Rebeka assist infinding the flag and picking out the win-dow outside of which the flag would fly.All the while, Anschel learned Rebeka’sstory: her adoption by the Knights, herjourney to the United States and her ac-climation into a new culture.Victoria and Robert Knight wanted a

child. There was no denying that, but na-ture simply wasn’t playing along. As a re-sult, the couple decided that adoptionwould be a viable option and investigatedthe process of adopting a child from an-other country. The indications they re-ceived were that due to governmentstability, ease and other conditions, thebest places to go were South Korea orEthiopia.

However, things did not go their way at first. The process draggedon until finally they weren’t sure it would ever happen. “Several months went by and we thought it just wasn’t meant to be,”

Victoria said. “But then I got an email with a photo of Rebeka that said,‘Is this your daughter?’ I started bawling and sent the photo to Rob. Wehad been through so much emotionally and thought it was over, but Iasked him, ‘Is this our daughter?’ And he said, ‘Let’s do it.’ ”For the Knights, however, the emotional rollercoaster wasn’t at the

end of the track. The process required two visits to Ethiopia: one tomeet and visit with Rebeka and the second to bring her back to theUnited States. Just before that first visit, they were told that the gov-ernment of Ethiopia wanted to rein in the process and cut adoptionsby 90 percent. The Knights thought, once again, that their quest to

become parents might be over.Despite this, they decided to fly to Ethiopia and take their chances.

Luckily for them they were able to meet Rebeka and were able to staywith her for a week. Because she was almost four, she was talking,though she didn’t know English. “But it didn’t make a difference,” Victoria said. “We were so happy

to be with her and Rebeka seemed happy to be with us.”“At the end of that first trip, we asked her if she wanted us to be her

mommy and daddy,” Robert said. “And she said yes.”Although the second visit still wasn’t a guarantee, Robert flew back

to Ethiopia to officially bring their daughter into the family. Other trialsand tribulations popped up, but in the end, the trip was a success andthe Knights became parents.

Since her arrival in Lexington and the College of Education, Rebeka hasbecome a bit of an unofficial representative for the College. In September2011 during UK President Eli Capilouto’s visit she presented a gift to himon behalf of the College, and in April 2012, Rebeka was on hand at the an-nual Teachers Who Made a Difference program to present 2012Spokesperson Matthew Mitchell with the Friend of the College Award. With all of that, Victoria and Robert make sure Rebeka continues to

learn about her native country and her Ethiopian family. They also stayin touch with Rebeka’s father, who put her up for adoption because hewas unable to care for her after her mother’s death. And they taught

her how to recognize her native country’s flag – the same flag thatwent missing from Bradley Hall.“As we talked, I learned she is a curious, eager, intelligent child

ready to explore the world around her,” Anschel said. “She is comfort-able with people and engages them. She asks questions, and more im-portantly, she listens to the answers. To me, Ethiopia is where she isfrom, and it is a part of her, but what makes her special is who she isas a human being – beyond borders.”“I couldn’t have picked out a child that matched our family better

than Rebeka does,” Victoria said. “It’s hard to describe to people.There’s never been a moment when we thought she didn’t belong.”And she certainly fits the role of the College of Education’s Youngest

Ambassador. v

The Early Childhood Lab Serves the University and BeyondAn integral part of Rebeka Knight’s education has been the University of Kentucky Early Childhood Laboratory (ECL). On campus since 1928

and operated under the direction of the Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education Program in the Department of Special Education and Reha-bilitation Counseling, the ECL is a licensed childcare program that serves 54 children birth to 5 years old with and without disabilities and hasthe distinction of being a 4 STARS center and being accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.In addition, the ECL collaborates with the Fayette County (Ky.) Public School Early Start program and the Community Action Council Head

Start. The ECL fulfills UK’s missions related to teaching, research and service. The ECL has been located in the basement of Erikson Hall formany years and suffers from frequent flooding. As well, because of its location, the program has been unable to grow beyond its current capacity.Presently the College of Education is working with university architects to develop plans for moving the ECL to Taylor Education Building anddoubling its capacity. We are searching for partners and donors who would like to support the opportunity to provide additional high-quality childcare to UK, and expand the ECL in a way that it can impact the quality of early childhood education throughout the city, state and nation.

“To me, Ethiopia is where she is from, and it is a part of her, but whatmakes her special is who she is as a human being – beyond borders.”

In September 2011, Rebeka represented the College of Education as she presented UK President Eli Capilouto a gift (left image). Then on behalf of the College she presentedUK Women’s Basketball Coach Matthew Mitchell the Friend of the College Award at the 2012 Teachers Who Made a Difference Program.

Q: What got you involved in photography?A: My father taught me photography. It was his hobby and we had a

small darkroom in the fruit cellar of our basement. It was the kind ofmakeshift darkroom that was only dark at night. My dad also started acamera club at the high school where he taught. He and I went oncamera outings together to places we both liked — circuses, workingquarries, train stations. It was on these trips that I learned the price-less lesson that photography was a way to be out in life. That power-fully appealed to me. But I was also attracted to photography’sexpressive power. There are a lot of ways to be expressive in life but Iwasn’t good at some of them. Music for instance. I was a distinct fail-ure with the cello. Eventually my parents sold the cello and bought avacuum cleaner. The sound in our home improved. So that was out. Icould write, and I still do. I wrote before I photographed and it is stillmeaningful. But it lacked action. Photography, for me, was writing inaction. The great artist and illustrator Saul Steinberg once describedhimself as “a writer who draws.” I think of myself as a writer who pho-tographs. Images, for me, can be considered poems, short stories oressays. And I’ve always thought the best place for my photographs wasinside books of my own creation. I was editor of my high school year-

book and editor of the 1967 Kentuckian and photographer for both.There isn’t an aspect of book creation I don't enjoy and there has al-ways been a book in my life to dream about or work on.

Q: How did you find your way to National Geographic?A: My parents, grandmother and brother were teachers. My mother

taught Latin and French and was the school librarian. My father taughtgeography and a popular class called Family Living, the precursor toSociology, which he eventually taught. My grandmother was a belovedone-room school teacher at Knob School, near Sonora in Larue County,Ky. Education, in its many forms, was the culture of our family life.Travel trips, as an example, were a way to learn American history. Soour vacations weren’t about camping or fishing. They were aboutgoing to Jamestown, Monticello and Mount Vernon. Also GrandCanyon, Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore. My brother and I were ex-pected to learn about cultural history through direct contact with it.When I first went to National Geographic I thought I was the least qual-ified person to step through the doors. But because of my parents andthe culture of continual learning they imposed on us I later came tobelieve I was the most qualified person who ever worked there. After

In 1967, Sam Abell went to his first job interview. In 2001, he ended 33 years of traveling on assign-ment for National Geographic. Over that time, Abell’s photos have become synonymous with NGand taken him around the world. Later this year, Radius Books in Santa Fe, N.M., will begin publish-ing the Sam Abell Library, a 16-book set that will be released in four-book sections over the next fouryears.Abell recently took time out of his busy schedule to reflect on education, his life of photographyand worldly travel.

all, National Geographic’s mission statement is about“the increase and diffusion of knowledge.” That couldhave been the motto of our family's life.I’ve had one job interview in my life. It was to become

a summer intern at National Geographic in 1967. I hadjust finished editing the two-volume ’67 Kentuckian andhad sent the Geographic a box of black and white printstaken at UK. I also separately sent a box of original colortransparencies (slides) made in the summer of 1965 on aUK/YMCA trip to Bogota, Colombia. This was the impor-tant part of my portfolio because the Geographic was allcolor photography. But the color originals never arrived.I’d used water soluble ink to address the box and the inksmeared and became unintelligible. The box never arrived.All I had on the table during my interview with the leg-endary Director of Photography Robert Gilka were theblack and white prints from UK. I thought I was doomed.But I got the internship and it changed my life. Years later Iasked Gilka if he’d hired me as an intern out ofpity because my slides had been last. “Hell no,”he said. “We had no time for pity at National Ge-ographic.” “Why did you do it then?” He lookedat me and bit off one word. “Potential.”Since that 1967 internship I've lived the Na-

tional Geographic life. By that I mean I traveled onassignment for 33 years, ending in 2001. It wasthe right life for me. Assignments were long andinvolving, always lasting months and sometimes,it felt, years. Once I was in the field 14 straightmonths. I met my wife on assignment. She washiking the length of the Pacific Crest Trail in onesummer. That’s 2,600 miles from Mexico toCanada through the mighty mountains of the farwest — the Sierras, Cascades and North Cas-cades. I was doing a book on the trail. At first Isimply admired her, but that turned into affectionand then love. After the first 500 miles the PCTisn’t a test of strength. It is a test of character. Shefinished the trail that summer of 1974 and wewere married in 1977. From then on we traveledon assignment, both of us together living the pho-tographic life. Since 1978 we’ve lived in a centralVirginia farmhouse once owned by a mill keeper.The house is in a setting that provides a havenfrom the rigors of travel.

Q: What was your favorite assignment?A: I had a number of favorite assignments (be-

sides the Pacific Crest Trail). I did the photo-graphs for a book called Still Waters WhiteWaters, about canoeing in America (that was the14-month epic). I did photographic biographieson Leo Tolstoy, Lewis Carroll, Charles M. Rus-sell, Winslow Homer and James Madison. Andbooks on the Appalachian Trail, the Civil War,the Mississippi River, and Lewis and Clark. Thelast two were with the well-known historianStephen Ambrose. We became friends, whichwas one of the significant benefits of livingthis life and being in the field with writers.I have favorite places and assignments. The

island of Newfoundland, subject of my first as-signment, is a place I think of fondly. For sheer

majestic geography and sublime scale nothing beats Alaskaand the Yukon. For culture, Japan. And for all-around affec-tion, Australia. It was foreign but familiar, great fun andgood photography — all the things you could wish for on as-signment. I did two Geographic cover stories as well as twobooks on Australia. It’s the place, and the people, I think ofmost often.

Q: Have you ever found yourself in danger on a NationalGeographic assignment?A: In a way danger is something I sought. Maybe I should

say the edge of danger. I didn’t want to injure or imperil myselfbut I felt the most vital place to be was on the line betweendanger and beauty. As a person and as a photographer I wasmost alive walking that line. Too much beauty was boring. Toomuch danger was...dangerous. But if you were willing to pushthe line of danger it was often into a unique realm of beauty.An example was my effort in Australia to photograph a cy-clone. It was an important element of life in the northwest ofAustralia. There is even a cyclone season called ‘The Wet,’ sothe image was essential in expressing the story of life in theOutback. But I happened to be there during the driest ‘wet’ of thecentury. So I went looking for a cyclone off the remote, empty coast.The pilot was young. I instructed him to fly along the dark, distinctedge of the cyclone. But the storm somehow overtook us. Thedowndraft nearly destroyed the small plane. An argument eruptedabout what to do — fly through the downdraft again to clear airspace or further into the black storm toward land? I argued forclear air (and no certain landing spot), the pilot argued for land.He gestured toward land and said, “There!” We both looked“there.” Just then a continuous sheet of forked lightning spreadacross the black sky. I shouted, “There!” and jerked my thumbto the now distant sliver of bright sky between the dark boilingclouds and sea. As I did so I couldn’t help but see how uniqueand intensely beautiful the graphics and color of the scenewas. I picked up my camera and began to photograph. It set-tled me to do so. But I also photographed because it wasbeautiful. In a dangerous way. The picture was published inthe Geographic in 1990. Last week in Massachusetts I showedthe image in a slide show. After the program a woman ap-proached me, introduced herself as an artist and said, “That pictureof the storm in Australia — from it I learned how to paint clouds.Thank you so much!”

Q: What brought you to the UK College of Education? A: I was attracted to the UK College of Education because my

parents wanted me to get a degree in Education. I understoodthat. Teaching was our family culture and made such a funda-mental contribution to our community. I’d seen that in how re-spected, even beloved, my parents and grandmother were. Whatthey did mattered. My brother continued that family tradition.And, in a way, so have I. I’ve taught photography workshops for30 years in the U.S. and abroad. Nominally the classes are aboutphotography but the real thing I’m teaching is life, and abouthow photography is a positive way of “being in life.” My parentstaught that lesson, too. Whether the class was about French orgeography (or photography) the real lessons from them wereabout learning itself, and its worth and constancy in life.

Q: Can you talk a little about your upcoming bookproject?A: I’m now at work on an extensive publishing project

titled Sam Abell Library (Radius Books, Santa Fe). It is tobe a 16-book set of my life’s work. Beginning this fall it willbe published in four annual installments of four matchingboxes (slip cases) each containing four volumes. The fourboxes will be themed: Box 1 is The Photography of Placeswith volumes on Newfoundland, Japan and Australia; Box2 is The Photography of Nature with volumes on the Gala-pagos, Amazonia, Canoeing and The Long Trails; Box 3 isThe Photography of History with volumes on Tolstoy, TheShakers, Charles M. Russell (Montana’s traditional ranchlife) and The Japanese Imperial Palace; and Box 4 is ThePhotography of Ideas and will contain volumes on SeeingGardens, Portraits, and Black and White images. The 16thvolume is called Things—A Memoir. It will contain still-lifeimages of those items in my life that have had a “life” andwill be accompanied by relevant stories. The volume ofblack and white images will have work from my studentyears at UK and The Shakers volume will be extensivelyfilled with images of Shakertown, not far from Lexington.Working on this 16-book retrospective has allowed me to

reflect on my life. The best lesson I was given is that all of lifeteaches, especially if we have that expectation. v

Ross Found Her Apple In and Out of EducationAs a high school freshman in Ashland, Ky., Clayta Ross made the decision to become an elementaryteacher, and early in her collegiate career she studied at Ashland Community College. After receiving her de-gree in education at UK, she taught elementary school in Palm Bay, Fla., for three years, but in 1968 sheand her husband moved to California, to an area that was closing many schools.“I wanted to teach so bad that I cried when I couldn’t get a teaching position in California,” Ross said.But it wasn’t the end of the world. In 1973, Ross found herself at Intel Corporation managing trainers in

the integrated circuit production areas. In 1980, seeing many of her coworkers heading to a new companycalled Apple, Clayta was coaxed to join them.“It was a very intense, excit-

ing time,” Ross said. “A strangeand interesting corporate culture to say

the least. Apple was the cool place to work, even in a place ascool as Silicon Valley.”By 1989 Ross believed that having a business degree would

keep her moving forward, but after earning her MBA at SanJose State University Apple wasn’t hiring so she taught at thecollegiate level. She and her husband moved back to Florida in2009 where she has been very active in community activities.“I have had several lives (careers) but there is a thread that

runs through them all – it’s education,” Ross said. “I’ve learnedthat if you allow your students to be mediocre, they will bemediocre. If you insist that they excel, they will. It turns outthat’s as true for high-tech engineers as it is for kindergartners.”

Gossett Uses College of Education to Fly HighGrowing up near Cynthiana, Ky., Larry Gossett gained confidence through his life on a farm and his days playing baseball. But he was unclear

what his life’s goals were. That is until he took his first ride in a plane.“My brother Bob took me to the airport and we paid two dollars each to ride in a

Piper Tri-Pacer,” Gossett said. “After the ride, I bought an Air Progressmagazine andread about the F-4 Phantom II. I knew right then that I wanted to fly that plane.”By age 16, he flew his first solo flight. At 17, he received his private pilots license.

He arrived at UK in 1966 where he juggled his schoolwork, played baseball and waspart of the Air Force ROTC. He graduated from the College of Education with a rankof 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force in 1970, and by the time he was 24 years old, hewas assigned front seat (Captain) of an F-4 Phantom.Gossett went on to Hahn AFB, Germany, where he became one of the first flight

leaders as a 1st Lieutenant. He took part in weapons testing and was asked to ad-vise high-ranking Air Force officials. While there, Gossett also completed his mas-ter’s degree in business. Then in 1976 he was assigned to Luke AFB, Ariz., as aninstructor pilot.In 1979 he retired from the Air Force and joined a new fleet – Federal Express. An

up-and-coming company at the time,Gossett spent a 30-year career serving asa line pilot, instructor pilot and line checkairman.

After a 46-year career as a licensed pilot, Gossett retired from FedEx in 2010. He has since established anaviation fund through the Bluegrass Community Foundation and also started a scholarship fund in the Collegeof Education.“I believe in the importance of education,” Gossett said. “If we can be number one in basketball, why can’t we

be number one in education?”

Dawson to be Enshrined in Pro Football HOFSteve Parker likes to relate the story of when he first saw Dermontti Dawson walking the halls of

Bryan Station High School in Lexington, Ky. Parker says he initially thought Dawson was a parentand asked if he needed help. When Dawson said he was a student, the football coach side of Parkerkicked in and he said, “Where have you been all my life?”Those words started a career that spanned high school, the University of Kentucky and the Na-

tional Football League. And thanks to his stellar 13-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dawsonwill be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August 2012. “It’s really shocking, to tell you the truth,” Dawson said. “You always want to be the best you can

be, but for others to say you’re one of the best… it just blows me away.”But Parker isn’t surprised. He has witnessed Dawson’s entire career. Yet, when asked about Daw-

son, Parker likes to focus on other qualities.“The honor could not happen to a better per-son,” said Parker, who now is the AssociateDean for Academic and Student Services in the UK College of Education. “Dermonttihas all the characteristics that you would like to have in a son or daughter. He is veryintelligent, polite, mannerly, sincere, approachable, etc. He is still very humble con-sidering all the things he has accomplished.”Aside from football, Dawson sees the importance of giving back. He has worked

with the Make a Wish Foundation, the Ronald McDonald House and the Leukemiaand Lymphoma Society. In addition, Dawson created a scholarship fund in the Col-lege of Education. “I just thought it was important to give back to the college,” Dawson said. “It re-

ally isn’t a lot but any amount you can give helps. Teachers are undervalued and un-derappreciated, but they are where our future lies.”

Spragens Puts Her Degree to Work with DisneyIt was a bit of an unconventional path that led Margaret “Sam” Spragens to the position of Sports

Guest Services Manager at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.Spragens received her undergraduate degree in recreation from the UK College of Education in 1988.

She moved on to the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville as a way to achieve her dream of being aMinister of Recreation for a large church. Her chance came at First Baptist Church in London, Ky., whereshe helped design their state-of-the-art recreation facility. After a few years, she felt a master’s degreewould afford her more options so she decided to attend Temple University.Eventually, she was attracted to Disney for an internship with the Funai Golf Classic, a PGA TOUR

event that eventually became known as the Children’s Miracle Network Classic.Through that, she networked within Disney to reach her present position. At an early age, the importance of education was instilled in Spragens.“Mom and Dad both valued education,” Spragens said. “Mom took a

very active role in our education. There was never any doubt that we weregoing to college and earning degrees.”In high school, there was not that much support to prepare her and her

classmates for college, so her mother eagerly filled that void, Spragens said.As a matter of fact, education was so important to her mother, she evenhelped Spragens’ friends, too.“She basically served as our guidance counselor preparing us for the ACT

and SAT, as well as helping us discover academic paths that would serve us best,” Spragens said. “I remember manyevenings around the dinner table with friends that became college and career counseling sessions.”Spragens’ mother was a very proud alumna of the UK College of Education, so when Spragens told her that

she was going to major in recreation and leisure studies, her mother was not thrilled.“But she was relieved when I told her it was a department in the College of Education,” Spragens said.And in the end, her parents came to appreciate the fully rounded experience she received at UK.

When students in Eminence, Ky., re-cently took to Twitter to protest a decisionmade by their town’s officials, school lead-ers held their breath. Perhaps the new cul-ture they had created – one where it’s OKto do things like bring an iPhone toschool or voice to teachers and adminis-trators how you want to be taught – hadopened the doors to “student voice” a lit-tle too wide. Nobody could argue the cause wasn’t

good-hearted. The students were rootingfor a man in town who helped make endsmeet by collecting cans to recycle. Someresidents were concerned about him com-ing onto their properties, so he’d beentold he was no longer allowed to pick upcans.

As it turns out, the students acted maturely duringtheir cyberspace campaign. The town altered its deci-sion and school officials, proud of their students’ re-sponsible use of social media, breathed a sigh of relief. It’s commonly said it takes years for a trend to reach

Kentucky. Someone merely passing through Eminence,population 2,200, might describe it as a sleepy littletown. But Eminence students’ impromptu Twitter cam-paign is just one example from among the forward-think-ing Kentucky schools on track to become models for thestate, nation and perhaps even the world.Given their innovative spirit, it is no surprise that when

the College of Education at the University of Kentuckycreated a program last summer to build capacity in lead-ers to design new systems for learning, Eminence’s su-perintendent, Buddy Berry, and instructional supervisor,Thom Coffee, were among the first participants.The Next Generation Leadership Academy – an output

of the College’s Kentucky P20 Innovation Lab – was agame-changer for Eminence. Berry and Coffee were al-ready on an innovative path, but the academy allowedthem to get further connected with what school couldbe. They say it also allowed them to think purposivelyabout how to enact changes in a designed format

that’s systematic, rather than happenstance. In one particularly eye-opening session, UK Associate

Professor John Nash brought in some high school stu-dents and prepped the academy participants on how toask probing questions about what they want from school.“As we interviewed them about how to do school dif-

ferently, the students were so stuck inside the model theyhad seen for 15 or 16 years, they couldn’t think differently.It convinced me that we’ve got to go back to Eminenceand find a way to get from students what they really wantfrom school – not just a version of what they think schoolis supposed to be,” Coffee said.Across America, there are students, teachers, principals

and superintendents who, similarly to Eminence, knowall-too-well the way we do school no longer works. Whilewe may refer to what is needed as “education reform,” theeffort shouldn’t be confused with reform programs we’veall watched come and go in decades past. The new “edu-cation reform” is designed to root out what doesn’t workand replace it with ways of learning that will prepare allstudents for college and careers. Interestingly, this kind ofreform is student-centered, meaning students have a sayin designing the future of their education. And, perhapsmost importantly, Kentucky has spent years building thesorts of infrastructures that will make this work sustain-able over time.

Here at UK, we call this type of reform “Next Genera-tion Learning,” or “NxGL” for short. In 2010, we created alaunching pad for NxGL called the “Kentucky P20 Innova-tion Lab,” referred to around here as “P20.” A lot of peo-ple ask us, “What is P20?” At the simplest level, it meanspre-school (“P”) to graduate level (“20”) education. Theactivities that fall under the P20 label are diverse andcomplex; however, the heart of P20 is quite simple. P20builds a bridge between school districts and higher edu-cation. The work we do is parallel, which begs the ques-tion, “Why don’t school districts and universities –

particularly colleges of education – spend more timeworking together?” It’s a daunting task, tearing down a system that has re-

mained virtually unchanged since the 1800s. But the par-ticipants are up forthe challenge andthe UK facultymembers involvedin P20 are excitedto lend a hand andbe part of the trans-formation. WithinP20 is a set ofmini-labs that arebased upon issuesor themes. For in-stance, the impor-tance of self-beliefsis a founding prin-ciple of AssociateProfessor EllenUsher’s work as co-director of the Mo-tivation andLearning Lab. Meri-beth Gaines, principal of Lexington’s new Wellington Ele-mentary, co-directs the lab with Usher.“The lab gets us out of our silos and helps us share ex-

pertise we both have for solving challenging problems weface,” Usher said. “By having a university researcher andschool principal collaborate, we are able to ask the rightquestions and conduct the right analyses, so our lab isable to solve problems encountered daily in Kentucky’sschools.”The NxGL Leadership Academy begins work with

school leaders because they are in a position to makeschool-wide and system-wide changes. Keep in mind,these leaders have been part of the current system sinceabout age 5, when they entered kindergarten. And it’slikely most of their career successes have come from per-forming well within that system. But they also realize howthe current system isn’t keeping up with the demands ofa global world and are ready to lead the state, nation andthe College’s international partners in changing it tomeet current demands.With all this talk of radical transformation, that’s not

to say we’re going to pull the proverbial rug out from un-derneath the current schooling systems. While the taskat-hand is big and the need for transformation vast, we’restarting small. Yet, we’re making sure we can “scale-up”what works very quickly. Here’s how it works. Once a school leader takes part

in the year-long leadership academy, he or she will have aset of goals and ideas for how to make importantchanges. The ideas worth trying out, we call “proto-types.” We have the chance to work with their schools totest out these prototypes within Learning InnovationZones (iZones) created inside the schools. iZones pro-vide a safe place for college faculty and school personnelto work together to redesign and rethink current policies,practices and programs to support 21st Century learners. When something shows promise among the students

in the iZones, we have networks set up across Kentucky(at other iZone schools) and in several other statesthrough the Council of Chief State School Officers

(CCSSO). Kentucky is one of seven states chosen bythe CCSSO to participate in an Innovation Lab Net-work (The Partnership for Next Generation Learning) tostrategically work together to design new systems forlearning to more fully prepare ALL students for college

and career. This part-nership seeks tospark a broad-basededucational trans-formation throughthe establishment ofstate-based net-works to createproof points of scal-able initiatives andsystem redesignsthat deliver the edu-cational outcomeswe seek. UK is work-ing collaborativelywith the KentuckyDepartment of Edu-cation to lead thiswork throughoutthe state.

Kentucky is the only state among the CCSSO net-work that has a high level ofinvolvement between P-12 and a university. Wethink this puts our stateat an advantage, becausewith a job this important,no one is willing to leaveany of this to chance.Collaboration with a tier-one research universityallows our schools todeeply analyze proto-types and research theimpact on studentachievement. As for Eminence, here

are some of the ideas they are implement-ing within their schools:• Partnership with Bellarmine College tooffer college-level courses to qualifiedstudents with no cost to students;• Redesigned Master Schedule (Coreclasses three days per week. Bench-mark ready students take classes twodays a week on Bellarmine’s campus.);• Wi-Fi on school bus transporting stu-dents to Bellarmine College inLouisville;• One-to-one technology devices (Mac-Book Pro) for all high school students;• Students trained to give feedback on edu-cational experiences using Twitter;• Student and Teacher Voice Teams forinput in district decisions;• Standards-Based Report Cards; and• Working with sister school in England onusing results from student aspirations sur-veys to better engage students in learning. v
