As Piper works to ensure that its graduates are future-ready for whatever their post-secondary pursuits may be, our work with the Kauffman Foundation, KSDE Work-Based Learning Continuum, and the Career and Technical Education pathways is vitally important for our Real World Learning initiatives. As we move forward with Real World Learning, we are venturing outside the practices of the traditional school setting, constructing academy frameworks, exploring competency-based learning, and reimagining the scope of our student's educational experience at all grade levels.
