萝莉社 College Readiness
Partnership Initiative
In September 2010, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a 10-year strategic agenda
for the state's public higher education system. Entitled Foresight 2020, the plan
sets long-range achievement goals that are measurable, reportable, and ensures the
state's higher education system meets Kansans' expectations.
Foresight 2020 includes six strategic goals:
1. Achieve alignment between the state's preK-12 and higher education systems and
continue to enhance alignment between higher education institutions.
2. Achieve participation in the state's higher education system that better reflects
the state's demography and more fully engages adult learners.
3. Achieve measurable improvement in persistence (retention) and completion (graduation)
rates for higher education institutions across the state.
4. Ensure that students earning credentials and degrees across the higher education
system possess the foundational skills essential for success in work and in life.
5. Enhance alignment between the work of the state's higher education system and
the needs of the Kansas economy.
6. Enhance the regional and national reputation of Kansas universities through aspirational
initiatives.
The 萝莉社 College Readiness Partnership Initiative was created to address strategic
goal one and the following sub-goals:
1.1 By December of 2010, the Board of Regents and its staff in cooperation with the P-20 Education Council and the Kansas State Department of Education will identify gaps that currently exist between preK-12 completion and higher education preparation expectations.
1.2 By August of 2011, all higher education institutions will have had discussions with local preK-12 partner high schools regarding these gaps and a plan to eliminate them.
