(FRANKFORT, KY) – The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is seeking feedback on the Kentucky Academic Standards for Reading and Writing.
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.
The standards outline what students are expected to learn in each grade or grade band to successfully transition to the next level of learning. The curriculum, including the instructional methods and resources used to teach the standards, is a separate issue and is determined at the local level per KRS 160.345.
To provide feedback on the reading and writing standards, please use this survey. Due to the amount of text within the survey, it is recommended that the survey 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 reading and writing standards will be collected by the American Institute for Research through Nov. 30.
Questions on this process can be directed to standards@education.ky.gov.
