| K-12 and higher education are encouraged to communicate with each other and offer learning opportunities to align P-16 education. Minnesota offers career academies, small schools, and charter schools, and these pathways are growing as a means to serve traditionally underserved students. In addition, new collaborations have been formed to engage a broad array of partners in building new reform initiatives, including the P-16 Education Partnership, the Minority Education Partnership, the High School Renewal Initiative, and the College Access Network. Minnesota has a long tradition of charter schools and PSEO programs that remain somewhat controversial but nevertheless serve a growing array of students. Smaller, though growing, AP and IB programs serve students across the state. Continued attention on funding, legislation, and staffing have helped fuel growing interest in new academic pathways. |
