-

Western Kentucky University and the Kentucky Association of School Administrators have partnered to provide KASA members a discounted tuition rate for the educational leadership doctoral program. 

The WKU Ed.D. is now taking applications for the summer 2021 cohort that will focus on Leading Diverse Learners.  The closed cohort is designed for career professionals who aspire to leadership positions and are inspired to drive positive systemic change for diverse learners based on race, ethnicity, gender disability and socio-economic status. 

 The model is part of the Carnegie Project for the Education Doctorate (CPED) targeting Practitioner Scholars investigating a problem of practice in P-12 education focusing on Leading Diverse Learners. Bridging the divide between theory and practice, the program equips students with the deep understanding and contextual experience needed to lead organizational change in P-12 education.

The Leading Diverse Learners closed cohort Ed.D. brings together online learning and in-person experiences to offer students a program that is robust and challenging.

Pandemic Class of 2020

  Published May 4, 2020 To the Class of 2020: Like many of you the past few months have conjured up a mix of emotions, from fear and uncertainty about the health and livelihood of family and friends, to pain and sadness as we have watched horrific moments of this global pandemic and its economic aftermath unfold in front of us on the TV and in our communities.  I have felt extreme gratitude for the health workers and those on the frontlines helping to feed and care for everyone else.     As May arrives one other group is occupying my thoughts, the Class of 2020.  As an educator, academic regalia has been as much a part of my spring wardrobe as the seersucker worn at the Kentucky Derby.  It is truly one of my favorite seasons.  The bitterness of this moment is particularly hard as I have a daughter graduating from college and a niece from high school in May.   The revelry and joy of the last days of school and Senior Week, trips to the beach, the performances, athletic events, proms and

When the Kentucky Education Reform Act was passed in 1990 it was groundbreaking legislation that set the standard for the wave of education reform in the late 20th century.  This week the Maryland General Assembly's overrode Governor Larry Hogan's veto to pass an education reform and funding package that will likely set a new standard for education reform in the 21st century.  The Blueprint for Maryland's Future is based on the recommendations of the state’s Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, paves the way for Maryland to build a public education system benchmarked to the most globally competitive education systems around the world.

It provides Maryland with a fairer funding system and an accountability system that will assure that the policie

How about an education tax credit with a return on investment instead?

-
Since the Kentucky General Assembly seems intent on giving away tax credits during this session, I thought, as a former superintendent and economic development professional, that I could offer a bit of advice as to how to offer an education tax credit with an economic return. The proposed education scholarship is a frivolous waste of resources. The members obviously know this is bad public policy by the way they are trying to deceptively push it across the finish line unnoticed as House Bill 563 or Senate Bill 170. It is a far cry from a return on investment, rather it is a giveaway of existing revenues to more affluent families at the expense of the most disadvantaged families in our Commonwealth. Instead of shrinking the pie the General Assembly ought to be looking at ways to grow the pie and help the Commonwealth become more competitive. Economic competitiveness in the early years of the 21st century is all about "density and degrees." States and cities winning this econo
