4. What Kansans want from their schools
Kansas children need quality preschool including all day kindergarten
Changes need to be made to address school culture
New dynamic roles for counselor and social workers
Collaboration between schools and businesses
Reorganize schools around students, not the system
Community service needs to play a bigger role
Tammy, first 3, Jay last 3 - We also learned that Kansans believe
Every child needs access to quality preschool education
School culture needs to be addressed – we must value the student going to a two-year or certification program as much as a student attending a four-year institution.
Counselors need to be able to help students identify and explore career interests
Must be collaboration between schools and businesses to prepare students for postsecondary pursuits
Schools must be reorganized around the student, not the system to meet unique needs
Community service is an important part of preparing students for life after high school.
How is this different from how we do school now?

This graphic shows the “non-negotiables” for all of the redesign schools. This means that whatever model or method schools choose as their redesign plan, these components are addressed.
These represent the 5 Results: Social-Emotional/Character Development, Kindergarten Readiness, Individual Plans of Study, High School Graduation Rates and Post-Secondary Success, as well as components from what Kansans said they wanted in the way of personalized learning, long-term projects, family engagement, community and business relationships….
