What we’re all about

 The K20 Center for Educational and Community Renewal is a statewide research and development center which promotes innovative learning through school-university-community collaboration.

Our mission is to create a seamless, high-quality kindergarten though graduate (K-20) education system so that all students have 21st-century skills to compete in a global economy that emphasizes science and technology.

K20 Center uses five interrelated phases to transform conventional schools into high-achieving, interactive learning communities:

Phase I - Leaders Learning: Develops principals and superintendents to lead systemic change and technology integration in their schools and districts.

Phase II - Whole-School Learning: Supports Phase I leaders by focusing on teachers, parents, and community leaders empowerment in creating technology-rich learning communities designed to enhance student success.

Phase III - Teacher Learning: Creates in-depth authentic research and learning experiences for teachers in content areas

Phase IV - Student Learning: Creates innovative learning strategies, such as Digital Game-Based Learning, to encourage students to be involved in their own learning.

Phase V - University: Creates connections and collaborations to support learning beyond high school.
