P-16 Initiative

What is P-16?
P-16 is the term for a student-focused, comprehensive and integrated system that links all education levels from preschool (P) through the senior year of college (16). It is a powerful framework for policymakers to use to improve teaching and learning and thus better prepare students for living, learning and working in a changing world.
What is a P-16 Council?
A local P-16 Council, organized to identify challenges facing a community in education, economic and workforce development needs based on data, aligns community leaders, organizations, programs and projects.
