What is Kansans Can School Redesign? 

About 

All of the work done in Kansans Can Redesign is to be rooted in our Four Redesign Principles:

1. Student Success Skills
2. Real-World Application
3. Family/Business/Community Partnerships
4. Personalized Learning

In Redesign, we utilize the process of Design Thinking in conjunction with The Four Disciplines of Execution (McChesney, Covey, and Huling, 2012).

Lastly, in order to be effective, you must have the proper conditions: Shared Leadership and Collaborative Culture.

If you are a new Redesign Leader, we encourage you to watch the recording from our 'New Leader Bootcamp' on July 27, 2021. 

Kansans Can Redesign works to support the Kansas Vision for Education. Learn more by reading the Redesign Project Plan.
