Public Engagement Workgroup

A major factor in student achievement is the involvement of the community and parents in support of school success.  KLFA helps to build community involvement in a variety of ways.

Community Conversations

The "Community Conversations" program was developed by Public Agenda.  This major initiative of Public Agenda is a system to help engage the community in its schools, building the kind of involvement that supports increased student achievement.  Kansas Learning First Alliance has a cadre of trained facilitators that can assist a school community in putting Community Conversations to work as a part of the school improvement process.  Learn more at the following links:

Engaging the Public in Advocating for our Schools

The organization does, however, strongly encourage the kind of public policies that will support making Kansas first in the nation in teaching and learning.
