KDE seeking applications for World Language Standards and Assessment Review Committees

(FRANKFORT KY) – The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is accepting applications for the World Language Standards and Assessment Review Committee and Advisory Panels.

KRS 158.6453 calls for KDE to implement a process for reviewing all academic standards and aligned assessments. The review process for the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for World Language will begin in fall 2026.

KDE is seeking current K-12 classroom teachers to participate in this work. Applicants will be required to meet approximately five to 10 days throughout fall 2026 through spring 2027.

If applicable, team members will receive reimbursement for travel expenses and the teacher’s school district will be reimbursed for substitute teacher expenses. Selected applicants will be asked to verify the willingness of their school or district to release them for work dates.

The online application will be posted for 30 days. Applications will be accepted through Oct.5. Selected team members will be notified by Oct 12.

Questions on this process can be directed to standards@education.ky.gov.
