Learning Forward Kansas Awards
Who's doing best practice? What schools or professional development
leaders are out there on which to model your school's professional learning
efforts? How can implementation of staff development activities impact
student performance? We have a state full of schools and educators in the
trenches who are making a difference in student performance.
Learning Forward Kansas recognized district, building, and individual award
winners over the last several years. Please congratulate the following educators
for their accomplishments; use them as resources; and spread the word so
that more schools and educators apply for these awards so we can increase
our resource base.
