From books to reports, town halls and study groups, we\u2019ve used many forums for these important discussions. Today, we launch a new one.<\/p>\n
Welcome to\u00a0Ed.\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>a blog about excellence with equity in education.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll breakdown the most relevant topics in education policy from early childhood through postsecondary education and always with a keen focus on one of our foundational values: Each and every Kentucky student learning at high levels and realizing their unique potential.<\/p>\n Ed. will feature several ongoing series focusing on different issues in education:<\/p>\n We are excited to kick off a regular series beginning this month with\u00a0Bright Spots: Learning in Kentucky<\/strong><\/a>, highlighting great schools in Kentucky, where high expectations and innovation meet excellence in student results.<\/p>\n We take a look at the state budget and Kentucky\u2019s investment in education over time in\u00a0Adequate & Equitable: Kentucky\u2019s Funding Challenge<\/strong><\/a>, with a goal of better understanding where we are underinvesting and how this impacts our progress.<\/p>\n The Prichard Committee Student Voice Team migrates their blog to Ed. with the\u00a0Student Voice Forum<\/strong><\/a>, publishing posts from young people across the state about the issues in schools that matter most to them.<\/p>\n Finally, we bring you analyses of the latest performance results for students with\u00a0Numbers Up!
