Kansas State Department of Education: Kansas Can. Cadre Summary
Region 12 Comprehensive Center
The Region 12 Comprehensive Center supports the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) with implementation and scaling of the Kansans Can Redesign Initiative. Schools engaged in redesign are guided by four core principles--personalized learning, student success skills, family/business/community partnerships, and real-world application--to help students develop academic and non-academic capacities needed to be successful in postsecondary education, the workforce, and in citizenship after graduating from high school. The Kansans Can Training Cadre consisted of three phases. During the first phase, cadre participants shaped common definitions and language around key elements of personalization. During the second phase, cadre members worked as a professional learning community to deepen understanding of the defined concepts. During the third phase, cadre members examined ways to advance the personalization ideas they had worked on throughout the first two phases. This document summarizes the third phase sessions (C Sessions), and provides contextual information from the first two phases. The purpose of each of the individual C Sessions is shown in Table 1. Following the table is a section, Use Common Definitions, that describes one of the tactics cadre participants may employ, aligned to the primary objective of the cadre. The final section of this document, Advance Personalized Learning, contains summaries of the research, strategies, and tools explored during the C Sessions that cadre participants can draw on to successfully contribute to the achievement of the cadre objectives.
