New! KDE Research Team Launches Blog
The Kentucky Department of Education's Strategic Planning and Research team is excited to launch the KDE Research Blog—a new online resource dedicated to sharing research, data, and strategic insights on the issues shaping education across the Commonwealth.
New articles will be published approximately every two weeks, offering research-based perspectives, practical resources, and data visualizations designed to support educators, school and district leaders, policymakers, and anyone interested in Kentucky education. The Research Blog webpage will serve as a central hub where readers can explore the latest posts as well as past blog series and archived articles.
