KSDE Safe and Supportive Schools Conference

Effectively planning, prioritizing, and communicating complex initiatives in K-12 education can be a daunting task, particularly in areas like cybersecurity, physical security, and technology infrastructure. Maturity models offer a powerful framework for assessing current capabilities, setting realistic goals, and mapping out strategic improvements. This session will explore how to apply maturity models in K-12 settings to drive informed decision-making, improve resource allocation, and align stakeholders. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for using maturity models to improve project planning, prioritize key initiatives, and enhance communication with district leaders, school boards, and staff.
