  • Symbols of Missouri Have You Seen?
    Show-Me Symbols Missouri was named for an Algonquian Indian word that means "river of the big canoes." The state nickname is the Show-Me State and there are many natural symbols that “show us” about Missouri. The official animal of Missouri is the Missouri Mule. The mule is a hybrid between a horse (the mom) and a donkey (the dad). The mule possesses the sobriety, patience, endurance and sure-footedness of the donkey, and the vigor, strength and courage of the horse. One of the first mule breeders in the United States was George Washington. Mules are still part of the modern world; teams were used to string fiber optic cable in Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee. Missouri is a mining state and we have both a state rock and a state mineral. The rock is Mozarkite, a type of jasper used for building and for jewelry. Galena, the Lakeside Nature Center 4701 E Gregory, KCMO 64132 816-513-8960 www.lakesidenaturecenter.org state mineral, is the major source of lead ore. Mining of galena has flourished since the first settlers arrived and our state produces most of the nation’s lead. The American Bullfrog is the largest frog native to Missouri and is found all across the state. You can hear its deep, resonant ‘jug-of-rum’ call on warm, rainy nights between mid-May and early July. The idea for the bullfrog designation came from a fourth grade class at Chinn Elementary School in Kansas City. A group of Lee’s Summit school students worked through the legislative process to make the crinoid the state fossil of Missouri.

    University of Missouri-Saint Louis - MO - Assurance Argument - 10/9/2018 Assurance Argument University of Missouri-Saint Louis - MO 10/9/2018 Page 1 University of Missouri-Saint Louis - MO - Assurance Argument - 10/9/2018 1 - Mission The institution’s mission is clear and articulated publicly; it guides the institution’s operations. 1.A - Core Component 1.A The institution’s mission is broadly understood within the institution and guides its operations. 1. The mission statement is developed through a process suited to the nature and culture of the institution and is adopted by the governing board. 2. The institution’s academic programs, student support services, and enrollment profile are consistent with its stated mission. 3. The institution’s planning and budgeting priorities align with and support the mission. (This sub-component may be addressed by reference to the response to Criterion 5.C.1.) Argument 1.A.1 "As the metropolitan, land-grant, research institution serving the most diverse and economically important region in Missouri, the University of Missouri–St. Louis delivers exceptional educational, research, and engagement experiences that inform, prepare, challenge, and inspire. We transform lives." This mission is broadly understood and guides operational decisions. Along with the strategic plan, the vision and mission were rearticulated as part of a systemwide planning process in 2018. All components of UMSL's strategic plan were developed through an inclusive process that involved faculty, staff, students, community leaders, and the Curators of the University of Missouri System. As an urban, public, land-grant institution dedicated to the betterment of the metropolitan area, transforming lives is well-suited to the nature and culture of UMSL.

Not yet. Missouri is not ensuring that all of its students are graduating ready for college and the workforce—yet. If current trends continue, only 15% of current high school freshman in the state will have a college diploma when they are in their mid-twenties. This means that the vast majority of graduates from Missouri schools will not be employable in jobs that require high skills.1 Missouri has taken steps to increase expectations for students through its Top 10 by 20 Education Reform Plan.

  • Career & Tech Education
    CAREER & TECH EDUCATION IN GREATER KANSAS CITY Preparing High School Students for the Next Step MID-AMERICA REGIONAL COUNCIL • NOVEMBER 2017 This report was created in response to community demand for information about Career & Tech Education and ways to develop workplace competencies beginning in grades K-12. It presents a snapshot of regional CTE in the Kansas City metropolitan area. We hope it will spark conversation that will help catalyze a collaborative, regional effort to improve communication between the business and education sectors, share lessons learned, and coordinate support for innovative approaches for all students. As we move forward on this important issue, we will continue to engage educators, industry leaders and communities to ensure every student is prepared for life, learning and work after high school. FUNDERS & PARTNERS 2 Why Career & Tech Education? Because high school alone is no longer enough. Good jobs — those that pay an above-average wage and offer an opportunity to move up — require more than a high school diploma. Employers want job-ready workers 93% of students who take a who have something extra. That might be an industry- concentration of CTE courses recognized credential, some on-the-job experience, a graduate from high school, certificate or a degree. about 10 percent higher than the national average for all students.

CTE prepares students for what’s next, whether they are on the path to college or 75% ready to start their first job (or, increasingly, do both at the go on to enroll in postsecondary same time).
