MILE Guide: Benefits
“Kansas educators are anxious to put the revised MILE Guide to work. As we create professional development for our staff and as we share “exemplary practices” among colleagues, the MILE Guide will be exactly that – a guide to plan our work and a benchmark to better assess how we are doing. Quite simply, the MILE Guide provides teachers and education leaders with meaningful, practical guidance as we plan the kind of learning experiences that will help our students apply 21st century skills to solving real world problems.”
-Blake West, ED.D., president, Kansas National Education Association
