10 Future-Focused State Policy Actions to Transform K-12 Education
Patrick, Susan; Truong, Natalie; Chambers, Alexis
Aurora Institute
State policymakers are in a unique position to enable the innovations in education necessary to prepare students for a rapidly changing world. Working with 8,000 educators nationwide, the Aurora Institute identified the top 10 issues to address in state policy for transforming the K-12 education system: (1) Profile of a Graduate; (2) Innovation Zones; (3) Competency-Based Education Task Forces & Pilots; (4) Credit Flexibility; (5) Meaningful Credentials; (6) Competency-Based Pathways Alignment across K-12, Higher Education, Career and Technical Education, and Workforce/Employment; (7) Education Workforce Modernization; (8) Educator Workforce Diversity; (9) Balanced Systems of Assessment; and (10) Next-Generation Accountability Systems. Change will happen through a concerted effort to organize a movement toward learner-centered enabling policies to increase flexibility and expand pathways for students, based on mastery of knowledge and skills. This publication sets a policy agenda to effect change through the 10 priorities. The sections in this report describe each of the priorities, provides examples of states with leading initiatives, and offers a set of bold policy actions to activate and scale change. There is a special issue section at the end of the report on continuity of learning.
