Representatives with the Kentucky Department of Education’s (KDE’s) Office of Teaching and Learning presented during the KDE Superintendents Webcast on March 11, including an update on numeracy initiatives.
In order to provide vibrant learning environments for all students, it is important for schools and districts to translate the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) into a guaranteed and viable curriculum.
New and experienced teachers, instructional coaches and other school leaders gathered over the summer to work on the district's curriculum maps – a key step in the district's ongoing curriculum development process.
How can educators of all grades and content areas engage students in meaningful, relevant reading and writing?
Barbourville Independent was one of nine school districts selected for a two-year pilot program using $2 million in federal American Rescue Plan and Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) funds to help them implement high-quality instructional resources aligned with Kentucky's academic standards and include research-based materials.
The Kentucky Department of Education is seeking up to nine districts and 27 schools, representative of eight regional cooperatives, to implement the Curriculum Development Process as they develop their local science curriculum. This would account for the participation of 2-3 schools per district. This two-year pilot will begin in the fall of 2023 and end in the summer of 2025.
