Introduction
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. This document provides administrators, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders in local districts with a basis for establishing and/or revising their curricula. The instructional program should emphasize the development of students' abilities to acquire and apply knowledge and assure that appropriate accommodations are made for the diverse populations of students found within Kentucky schools.
The purpose of the Program of Studies is to outline the minimum content required for all students before graduating from Kentucky high schools. This document specifies only the content for the required credits for high school graduation and primary, intermediate, and middle level programs leading up to these requirements. Schools and school districts are charged with identifying the content for elective courses and designing instructional programs for all areas. Schools and school districts are also responsible for coordinating curricula across grade levels and among schools within districts. A coordinated curricular approach ensures that all students have opportunities to experience success with Kentucky's learning goals and academic expectations. It also provides for a thoughtful continuum of content and skills across grade levels while assuring coverage of all content outlined in the Program of Studies.
The Kentucky Learning Goals and Academic Expectations are also included here as an additional resource.
The Kentucky Learning Goals and Academic Expectations are designed to:
1. Provide direction to local teams of teachers, administrators, media/library specialists, students, parents, and community representatives as they develop curriculum unique to their districts and schools.
2. Effect change by establishing capacity in districts and schools.
3. Provide support as districts and schools plan and initiate activities that undergird the transformation process.
The curriculum framework is made up of two volumes which complement each other in the development of local curricula. The Kentucky Learning Goals and Academic Expectations provide "what Kentucky High School Students must know and be able to do as they exit public school". The Kentucky Learning Goals and Academic Expectations are provided in the areas of Mathematics, Language arts, and Science, with benchmarks occurring at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels.
