Welcome to our blog!

The Fund for Transforming Education in Kentucky (The Fund) inspires and scales innovation and excellence in Kentucky’s public schools, resulting in a better future for all of our children. Here on our blog, we share about our work in a more in depth manner. Blog posts are written by staff members, teachers we work with, board members and others.

The Fund believes in unlocking the unique potential of every student by spreading innovative ideas, shining a spotlight on transforming teacher leadership, and driving sustainable change that will increase academic achievement for all students in Kentucky’s public education system.

Thank you for your consideration and visiting our blog. If you share in our vision of an innovative education culture, we welcome the opportunity to partner with you. Please visit our website at www.thefundky.org for more information.

About the Fund



Kentucky is improving outcomes for our students, but still not competing with the world educationally, and that is a threat to our economic future. While Kentucky is able to attract new businesses, these businesses are having difficulty hiring qualified Kentucky residents to fill their open positions.

This blog is designed around Thoughts on Transforming Education in Kentucky: Sharing ideas, suggestions, and examples of students learning because of innovation, collaboration, and teacher leadership. This blog is associated with The Fund for Transforming Education in Kentucky, in order to showcase innovation in education.

The Fund for Transforming Education in Kentucky leads three initiatives to dramatically transform outcomes for our children:

  • Innovation Initiative 
  • Common Assignment 
  • Transforming the Teaching Profession 


The Fund is based in Frankfort, Kentucky. Read more on our website at http://www.thefundky.org.
