Kentucky United We Learn, Profile of a Learner, and Local Accountability with UK Next Gen

Guests Lu Young, Susan Dugle, and Karn Perry join me to discuss details about Kentucky United We Learn Council, Profile of a Learner, and Local Accountability.  All of these components are included in the new Accountability Framework that will be presented at the KDE Town Hall by Commissioner Dr. Robbie Fletcher. There have been years of work to get Kentucky to this point with a lot of stakeholders involved. This conversation explores the current challenges and initiatives in Kentucky's education system, focusing on the United We Learn initiative and the Portrait of a Learner framework. The speakers discuss the importance of community involvement, innovative learning experiences, and the need for a holistic approach to education that prepares students for the future. They highlight successful districts and provide recommendations for implementing these educational reforms effectively.00:00  Introduction to United We Learn04:39  The Vision of United We Learn08:19  The Kentucky Portrait of a Learner17:58  Structure and Community Involvement30:42  Implementation Strategies for Districts40:22  Success Stories and Future DirectionsResources mentioned during episode:KUWL Council Webpage with Moonshot "To build a prosperous Kentucky, we will launch an accountability system that is meaningful and useful to all our learners."Reimagining Assessment and Accountability-Framework 2.0    https://www.education.ky.gov/UnitedWeLearn/KUWLCouncil/Documents/Reimagining%20Assessment%20and%20Accountability%20Page/2025Framework2.0_508.pdfVenmo and Town Hall Registration Flyers:Flyers for Donations (Venmo) and Town Hall Registration
