Expanded Horizons is an interactive professional development series designed to promote the sharing of best practices across state lines and within our own Commonwealth. Kentucky’s state agency programs and other alternative settings have been innovating to meet the educational needs of students for decades - now it is time to not only share these strategies, but learn from our colleagues across the state. KECSAC, in partnership with supporting agencies, will take groups of educators, administrators, and policy-makers, on in-depth visits to alternative settings in Kentucky and other states. These small cohorts will tour classrooms, meet with education agency representatives, and work together to implement great ideas in our own Commonwealth and in their own programs.

Join us in 2024 for a tour of alternative education programs in central and eastern Kentucky to broaden your horizons for the betterment of your students. See more information below or contact our office with questions.
