Transforming Education Kentucky
Transform Education Kentucky (TEK) exists to
provide a connection between those that are willing to be involved in
meaningful ways to truly change education and those who can make those changes
happen. As an independent 501c3, TEK works outside the existing education
system to find innovative tools and techniques to ensure that Kentucky students
have greater success, cooperates with current leadership in the education
community to ensure that the methods identified are practical and ensures all
applicable parties are present in this work to lead the implementation of these
valuable solutions.
Innovation Lab Network
The Innovation
Lab Network connects schools, districts, and state education agencies working to
identify new designs for public education that create real student-centered
systems that empower each individual student to thrive as a productive learner,
worker, and citizen. CCSSO facilitates this network of states, which includes Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, New
Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, to
support programmatic, policy, and structure design work within each
participating state and across the network. The network is a key element of
CCSSO’s overall commitment to student-centered learning.
KnowledgeWorks
KnowledgeWorks is
a national organization committed to providing every learner with meaningful
personalized learning experiences that ensure success in college, career and
civic life. With a presence in more than 30 states, they develop the capabilities
of educators to implement and sustain competency-based and early college
schools, partner with federal, state and district leaders to remove policy
barriers that inhibit the growth of personalized learning and provide national
thought leadership around the future of learning.
Center for Innovation in Education
The Center for Innovation in
Education at the University of Kentucky contributes to the national
education reform agenda with a focus on ensuring more states are adopting and
implementing a standard definition of college and career readiness that
embodies “deeper learning” outcomes, implementing meaningful measures of those
outcomes, and holding all levels of the system accountable for results.
