The Kansas Learning Network (KLN) focuses on advancing educational outcomes through effective collaboration with service centers and the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE). The initiative emphasizes a structured approach to school improvement, including leadership development, needs assessments, and training for implementation coaches. Key steps include confirming ESEA waivers, fine-tuning service delivery, and engaging experts from Cross & Joftus. The network aims to utilize historical data and implement strategies informed by national best practices to facilitate district action plans and successful educational advancements.
