Register Now for Live Virtual March Leadership Meetings
In order to provide equitable learning environments for all students, it is important for schools and districts to translate the Kentucky Academic Standards into a guaranteed and viable curriculum. Additionally, it is critical that students receive strong, standards-aligned instruction supported by high-quality instructional resources (HQIRs).
The regional educational cooperatives, in partnership with the Kentucky Department of Education, will host live virtual meetings in March for district and school leaders to examine tools and resources available to create equitable learning environments at the local level.
The purpose of the meeting is to:
- Provide updates on existing resources from 2019 and 2020 March leadership meetings
- The Model Curriculum Framework (MCF), Section 1: Local Curriculum Design and Development Process (KRS 158.6451)
- Why High-Quality Instructional Resources?
- Introduce new resources to promote equitable learning environments for students
- MCF Section 2:Professional Learning Communities
- MCF Section 3: Balanced Assessment
- Preview upcoming guidance on the Kentucky Multi-Tiered System of Supports (KyMTSS) Framework
Click on the date/time of your educational cooperative to learn more and register for this live, virtual 3-hour session. If for some reason you have a conflict on the date of your cooperative session, an additional open session is available at 2-5 p.m. ET on March 24 for your convenience.
Reminder: Feedback Sought on Kentucky Academic Standards for Science
The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is seeking feedback on the current Kentucky Academic Standards for Science.
KRS 158.6453 calls for KDE to implement a process for reviewing all academic standards and aligned assessments beginning with the 2017-2018 school year. The schedule calls for one or two content areas to be reviewed each year, and every six years after that on a rotating basis.
Standards outline what students are expected to learn in each grade to successfully transition to the next level of learning. The curriculum or methods and resources used to teach the standards is a separate issue and decided at the local level.
Use this survey to provide feedback on the science standards. Due to the amount of text, it is recommended that surveys be completed on a full-size computer or laptop screen. Participants are provided with the opportunity to give feedback on all standards or self-selected areas of interest.
Feedback on the current science standards will be collected by The Region 5 Comprehensive Center through Feb. 22.
