概要

 If we know how children learn to read—why hasn’t it reached every classroom? In this episode, we examine who holds the power to shape education in Kansas—and what happens when policy, preparation, and practice aren’t aligned. From state-level decision-making to classroom reality, this conversation explores why change is complex… and what it actually takes to ensure every child receives instruction that works. This isn’t just about systems. It’s about outcomes—and what responsibility demands when proof already exists. In This Episode You'll Hear: How the Kansas State Board of Education shapes public education—and where real authority livesWhy policy alone doesn’t guarantee classroom change, and what happens in the gap between decisions and practiceThe real constraints behind funding, timelines, and implementation at the state and local levelHow gaps in dyslexia recognition and support have impacted students—and why that matters beyond readingWhy alignment—not blame—is the key to meaningful accountabilityWhat actually changes outcomes for students learning to read—and where we’ve seen it workVoices from across the system, including: Jeanine Phillips — Founder, Phillips Fundamental Learning CenterJames Franko — Kansas Policy Institute REFERENCES & RESOURCES Research & National Context Understanding how children learn to read—and where systems have fallen short: National Reading Panel (2000) Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Reading Universe — Science of Reading Research Hub AACTE Teacher Preparation Initiative (2026 Proposal) Season 3, Episode 2 — Parent Advocacy 101: Fighting for Your Child’s Right to Read (For a deeper explanation of Kansas’ education governance structure) Kansas Policy & Governance How education is structured—and who holds responsibility in Kansas: Kansas Constitution, Article 6, Section 2 — State Board of Education (General Supervision) https://www.ksrevisor.org/statutes/constitution/chapter6.html#section2Kansas Constitution, Article 6, Section 4 — Commissioner of Education https://www.ksrevisor.org/statutes/constitution/chapter6.html#section4Kansas State Board of Education — Overview https://www.ksde.org/About-Us/State-Board-of-EducationKansas State Department of Education (KSDE) — About https://www.ksde.org/About-Us Kansas Literacy Policy & Implementation Where research meets policy—and where gaps can still occur: Kansas House Bill 2322 (2023 — Dyslexia Legislation) Kansas Blueprint for Literacy Funding & System Structure How resources are allocated—and why alignment matters: Kansas Special Education Funding Overview (KSDE)Kansas State Department of Education — School Finance & Data Central https://datacentral.ksde.org https://www.ksde.org/Agency/Fiscal-and-Administrative-Services/School-FinanceNational Center for Education Statistics (NCES) — Education Spending Data These resources are here to help you better understand the systems shaping literacy in Kansas—and the role each of us can play in moving forward. 🤝 FOLLOW & SHARE If this episode helped you understand the system behind the reading crisis— share it with a parent, educator, or leader in your community.
