On behalf of Learning Forward Kansas, I welcome you to another academic year of great learning
opportunities. Learning Forward Kansas strives to share the importance of professional learning.
Education is always evolving and providing new opportunities for educators to expand their knowledge
in so many areas. In Kansas we are challenged to implement the Student Growth Model into our
evaluation system, a new Accreditation System, Kansas Career Ready Standards/CCSS, Next Generation
Science Standards, New Social Science standards and many more opportunities. With each of these
come CHANGE and the need for effective professional learning that leads to successful student learning.
Learning Forward Kansas exists and works to support Kansas educators with these changes.
We will be offering:
-
Pre-Conference during KSDE on October 20, Professional Learning that Moves Us from Knowing
to DOING
-
Regional Learning Labs throughout the year, with the first one slated for Nov. 14th
that will include the Pre-Conference content.
-
Learning Forward Kansas conference, "Bridge to Change... Closing the Knowing and
Doing Gap" in Wichita on Feb. 3 & 4, 2015
-
