Current Major Topics:

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) - Kansas is one of the many states that has signed on to adopt these Common Standards in selected curriculum areas.  Kansas educators are in a state of transition from being guided by currently adopted State Curriculum Standards to utilizing the new standards. 

Coming soon - the Resource Center for practitioner support to implement Next Generation standards... Social Studies, Science, and CCSS for Math and English/Language Arts.

21st Century Skills - Kansas Learning First Alliance member organizations have fully embraced the guidance of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills for infusing critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills across the curriculum.
