  6. What is EPAS? In 2001, the Louisiana Board of Regents released its Master Plan for Public Postsecondary education. One of the three primary goals outlined in the plan was to “increase opportunities for student access and success.” Implementation of the Educational Planning and Assessment System (EPAS) was one of the seven specific strategies listed to help achieve this end. EPAS is unique in that its programs can be mixed and matched in ways that meet the needs of individual schools, districts, or states.

  7. Louisiana EPAS Purposes: • Raise academic standards and identify students’ readiness for accountability testing in the Spring. • Improve student preparation for important transitions – middle to high school and high school to college. 2

  18. This is the value of the teacher who looks at a face and says there’s something behind that and I want to reach that person, I want to influence that person, I want to encourage that person, I want to enrich, I want to call out that person who is behind that face, behind that color, behind that language, behind that tradition, behind that culture. I believe you can do it. I know what was done for me. Maya Angelou
