KCAS-KAAP Content Aligned Standards

Last Updated on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 10:07 PM

KCAS-KAAP CONTENT ALIGNED STANDARDS FOR READING, MATHEMATICS and WRITING

 

With the 2009 implementation of Senate Bill 1 (SB1) requiring new assessment standards for English/Language Arts and Mathematics for the general assessment, new standards were also required for the Alternate Assessment. Low Incidence Consultants and KDE Content Experts narrowed the Kentucky Core Academic Standards (KCAS) to 10 standards to release into the field for teachers and administrators to select the top 6. KDE along with Low Incidence Consultants worked to modify the language of the 6 standards selected to create less depth and breadth.

 

The standards shown below will be used beginning with the 2011-2012 school year.
