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.

*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?
