Primary Program of Studies

The Program of Studies for Kentucky Schools Grades Primary-12 helps ensure that all students across the commonwealth are provided with common content and have opportunities to learn at a high level.

Core Content for Assessment, 4.1

Last Updated on Wednesday, October 03, 2007 at 2:32 PM

Core Content for Assessment version 4.1- represents the content that has been identified as essential for all students to know and will be included on the state assessment. This content is designed for use with, not instead of, Kentucky's Academic Expectations and Program of Studies to provide the focus for the development of the Kentucky Core Content Test (KCCT).

Combined Curriculum Documents for Primary

The Combined Curriculum Document (CCD) is a resource created by the Kentucky Department of Education to show the connection between the Academic Expectations (what students should know and be able to do as a result of their school experience), the Program of Studies (the minimum required content standards students shall be taught to meet the high school graduation requirements), and the Core Content for Assessment Version 4.1 (the content that  is appropriate to  be included on the state assessment). The CCD was created as a response to requests from districts to produce a resource that included curriculum and assessment documents on the same page, showing the connection and relationship between them.

 

Primary 2000 and Beyond
Primary 2000 and Beyond serves as a guide for primary education and offers information on legislation and resources that impact the implementation of Kentucky's primary program.  The document can be used as a tool for answering questions to help provide a quality education for all of Kentucky's children.

Implementation Manual for the Program of Studies
The Implementation Manual for the Program of Studies provides both general information on implementing educational programs and specific suggestions on how to design courses using the content from the Program of Studies for Kentucky Schools Primary - 12.

Transformations
Published in two volumes, Kentucky's Curriculum Framework provides direction to local schools and districts as they develop curriculum. It offers further explanation of the academic expectations, suggestions on teaching and learning strategies, and multiple resources to assist with the development of curriculum and units of study.
