EducateNKY Releases Landscape Assessment Report
EducateNKY is pleased to release the final EducateNKY Landscape Assessment Report. This report provides the foundation and emphasizes the imperative for our region to effectively “educate every eager and vibrant mind”. EducateNKY is a learning organization – we strive to improve educational outcomes via data-driven decision making. Before launching any major efforts, we invested in working with an external consultant to complete a comprehensive landscape assessment over the past nine months which included hundreds of key stakeholder interviews across multiple sectors and an in-depth analysis of education-related, community-related data. We are grateful to Cheye Calvo with C Squared Strategies for his efforts on our behalf.
The report includes the identification of emerging priority areas for our work and the data rationale behind them. It is educational, complex, compelling, and sobering in some areas. Our hope is that this report ignites a collective sense of urgency to develop a NKY ecosystem leading to innovation, inclusivity, and community collaboration, with a strong emphasis on empowering teachers and equipping students for the future to make a positive impact on our community and beyond.
