Conference Resources: Kentucky Academic Standards and Assessment Family Guides
Strong partnerships between family and school are more important now than ever, and conferences are a great time to share the “Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) Family Guides” and “A Family’s Guide to Understanding Student Assessment.”
The “KAS Family Guides” were developed to help families familiarize themselves with the concepts of each grade level’s standards and include suggestions for how families can reinforce standards content at home. Each guide contains a standards overview for reading and writing, mathematics, science and social studies. Guides are available for grades K-8 and high school and even come in Spanish for Spanish-speaking families.
“A Family’s Guide to Understanding Student Assessment” was made to help families understand how assessment can support student learning. The guide includes information about formative, diagnostic, interim and summative assessment, and gives teachers and families common language to use when discussing student assessment.
Check them out on the Standards Family Resources webpage and make plans to share them with families soon!
