Prichard Launches ReadyKentucky on Facebook

ReadyKentucky is a new Facebook page dedicated to presenting, "the most current information about the newest initiatives in KY education primarily surrounding the implementation of the new KY Core Academic Standards and the 2009 Senate Bill 1 changes."

ReadyKentucky will focus on expanding communications networks through Parent Messenger Cadres. Key communicators are being recruited and trained in every region of the state at this time. Teacher Messenger Cadres will be formed soon.

My former FCPS colleague Robyn Oatley is the project manager and she does nice work. I'm looking forward to seeing how this web-based effort to present timely and reliable information wil play out.

Oatley describes her mission as - "to support the work necessary to assure that all students will be prepared for college and career success upon graduating from a KY public high school by communicating timely information to the community required to transform education in Kentucky.
We believe this: the more we all know, the better prepared we all are to help our children and schools succeed.
Contact Robyn at ReadyKY@prichardcommitte.org.

This effort is being organized by the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence with initial financial support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. ReadyKentucky will partner with the Kentucky Department of Education, to make sure that the information is clear, factual and relevant.
