🌟 Colorado Spotlight: Dr. Karen Cheser – Catalyzing Real-World Readiness In Durango School District 9-R, Superintendent Dr. Karen Cheser is raising the bar on what student success looks like—beyond standardized tests, into real-world application. 🚀 Innovation in Action: Since 2021, Durango has integrated generative AI across K‑12, launched robotics in every elementary and middle school, and created makerspaces that build computational thinking and problem-solving. 📈 Strategic Results: Durango now ranks in the top 20% of Colorado districts for reading and math—and is one of only three similar-sized districts to improve scores post-pandemic. But for Dr. Cheser, that’s just the starting point. 🌍 Future-Ready Vision: From a districtwide Portrait of a Graduate to robust CTE pathways and partnerships with community and LEGO Robotics, Durango students are learning to lead in a fast-changing world. At World Savvy, we’re inspired by this kind of systems-level leadership—where success is measured not just in scores, but in readiness, relevance, and lifelong opportunity. #GroundswellFromWithin #FutureReady #RealWorldLearning #KarenCheser #Durango9R (fb)
