Exceptional past projects worth a review...

• KLFA - KTWU Partnership:  Reading, Writing & a Worthwhile Education first aired on September 23, 2009 and a series of successful Watch and Talk parties were conducted in numerous communities across Kansas in conjunction with the original airing AND with an online video of the program available via Washburn University at iTunes University.  Read or download the summary report here.  See the entire results of the survey from which the summary was drawn

• MILE Guide goes live!  The Partnership for 21st Century Skills released its newly revised MILE Guide - a resource to help teachers, schools, districts, and communities evaluate their progress and plan the transformations needed to bring 21st century skills, teaching, and learning to life.  With significant input from past KLFA chair Blake West and staff at the Kansas State Department of Education, don't be surprised if this tool is particularly relevant for Kansas schools.
