Jefferson County Education Coalition (L3)

Last October, JCPS launched our Jefferson County Education Coalition. JCPS was one of the initial seven school districts working with the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) to design better local accountability approaches. We brought together families, community and business leaders, and local educators to build a better approach to partnership and accountability. Our coalition included people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.

Over the last few months, our coalition has identified a problem that we want to address and a possible solution. Now is the time to get feedback from our students about whether this is a meaningful problem worth solving and how we can best approach it. First, let us share a little more about how we got here.

Building on the foundation of the Backpack of Success Skills, we will co-create (with students, educators, parents, community) meaningful, impactful, and personalized opportunities for all students across grade levels to demonstrate life/success skills and show mastery of standards in flexible ways. We recognize that learning takes place both inside and outside of class and new and different ways so that all students can reach their full potential.
