Standards Implementation Guidance Documents Now Available

Standards implementation guidance documents for reading and writing, mathematics, social studies and science are now available to help schools and districts identify resources available from the Kentucky Department of Education to support standards implementation.

Schools and districts may be in various stages of the standards implementation process, and the standards implementation guidance documents provide a list of resources that may be utilized at each stage. The guidance documents will be updated as new resources become available.

To access the documents, please visit the Standards Implementation Guides webpage on KYstandards.org.
