Who We Are:

The Kansas Learning First Alliance (KLFA) is coalition of organizations in Kansas representing school boards, administrators, teachers and teacher educators, parents and the Kansas State Department of Education. Founded in February 1999, Kansas is the first state to have a partnership affiliated with the national Learning First Alliance.


Our Mission:

KLFA’s mission is “Making Kansas first in the nation in teaching and learning.” Given the high national ranking Kansas has on such indicators as the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), college entrance tests, post-secondary education levels and the adult literacy rate, we believe this is an ambitious but obtainable goal.

Achieving such a goal requires not only the commitment of the alliance partners and the constituencies, but also the support of the people of Kansas and the political, business, labor and civic leaders of the state. « less
