Middle Schools : Kentucky : A Head Start on the Future

by David Couch

FOR MORE INFORMATION

"This is not about looking at every sixth-grader and saying, 'Okay, what are you going to be when you grow up?'" she says. "This is about [getting] students and their parents to begin talking about the purpose of education, what their goals are going to be, that high school is important, and that it is important to get ready for high school.

"The most important thing is to make sure no child is cut off from the opportunity to go to college. That happens to too many kids."

David Couch is the K-12 CIO for the Kentucky Department of Education.
