The KSDE teacher licensure team is seeking volunteers to participate in higher education accreditation reviewer training in early November.
Those who are interested need to sign up no later than Aug. 15, for the training that will be 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., on Nov. 6, in Topeka. Online modules will need to be completed before the in-person training.
Title IA program training will be offered during the first week in August to align the field with the Kansas State Department of Education’s expectations for the 2025-26 school year.
The purpose of these virtual sessions is to ensure districts and schools know and understand how the KSDE Title Services team utilizes the KansaStar platform to meet the essential components of Schoolwide Programs and Targeted Assistance Programs, as required by federal law.
