1. Kansas Leads the World in the Success of Each Student.

3. 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.

7. Kansas State Assessments
Make the State Summative Assessment shorter
✔ We shrunk the assessment stages by 60% in each subject!
Give us results back faster
✔ Results will be available at the end of the testing cycle!
Have the state assessment predict to ACT and other national tests
✔ A correspondence table to ACT was available this fall!
✔ Reports this spring will have it on the student report!
Make KITE work and if we have trouble, can we talk to someone?
✔ Increased help desk staff hired, wait time almost zero!

10. Definition of Civic Engagement
Civic Engagement is individuals sharing their skills and knowledge through actions intended to improve communities, states, nations, the world, and themselves.

11. Why do we need to improve civic engagement?
Kansas ranks 6th in the percentage of juveniles in detention facilities in the nation.
Individuals without a high school diploma, whether they get a GED or not, make up 72.8% of Kansas’ prison population.
Kansas spends between $9,972 and $13,025 per year, depending on what data you use, to educate each child in the public school system.
The cost of incarcerating a single individual in a Kansas correctional facility for a year is $24,703.

19. Postsecondary Success
National Student Clearing House Data
High School Graduates that enroll in postsecondary institutions.
4-year and 2-year postsecondary institutions, in-state and out-of-state.
Does NOT include military, or students that directly enter the workforce.

20. Postsecondary Success
National Student Clearing House Data
Going back to the Graduating Class of 2010
Will follow the students for 6 years
Will keep track of students even when they change institutions
Is the most comprehensive data available

21. However, this is the percent of students who GRADUATED from high school that went on to pursue post secondary schooling. To get the effective post secondary rate, we must subtract out those students who did not graduate from high school.
Percent of students who graduated from high school in the Class of 2010:
80.9%
Students who graduated, went to post secondary school and returned or graduated in year two:
55.1%
Thus the effective post secondary rate is:
44.6%
Remember…Kansas needs to have at least 70-75% of high school graduates to obtain post secondary credentials to fill the available jobs in our state
The green area represents the percent of the graduating Class of 2010 in Kansas who went on to pursue post secondary education.
Percent of students who started one year earlier in post secondary education and returned somewhere for a second year
Percent of students who started one year earlier in post secondary education and have graduated (most likely a certificate or associate degree)
Let’s focus on six years after high school graduation for the Class of 2010
Added together, 55.1% of students who started their post secondary career either graduated or came back in the second year.

23. Starting with a class of 100 HS Freshmen
In Kansas, ON AVERAGE…
86 will graduate HS
56 will enroll in a 2-yr or 4-yr postsecondary institution
46 will complete 1 year of college and return the 2nd year, or have completed their certificate or degree
32 will complete a postsecondary degree or credential in 6 years
With 71% of all jobs in Kansas requiring some college or above, what are the 68 students not completing a credential 6 years after HS going to do????
This is why career education/exploration is so important for K-12, it’s the only way to close this large gap

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”
- John F. Kennedy
