This hands-on workshop will introduce and prepare attendees to use a web-based continuous school and district improvement process using Indicators of Effective Practice within the KansaStar system. Attendees will examine the components of KansaStar, the continuous improvement process and navigating through other aspects of the online tool such as the school/district dashboard page, the main menu page, and the interactive report submission features. Attendees will also be introduced to a variety of helpful resources including guiding documents, videos, and log-in information that allows users to experience the tool for themselves. KansaStar is available, free of charge, to any schools or district looking for a research-based school improvement model.
Any new Title I Schoolwide schools and any current schoolwide schools may use the KansaStar process to create a new plan or to support the current plan. Participation in the workshop will meet the planning year requirements for new schoolwides.
District and school improvement work in KansaStar will be aligned to the Kansas Education Systems Accreditation (KESA).
