The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is seeking feedback on the draft Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Career Studies and the draft KAS for Financial Literacy. The drafts were developed by the Advisory Panels and Review Committee, each made up of teachers, postsecondary educators, and business or industry partners from around the state.
KRS 158.6453 calls for KDE to implement a process for reviewing all academic standards. The schedule calls for one or two content areas to be reviewed each year and every six years after that on a rotating basis.
Standards outline what students are expected to learn in each grade to successfully transition to the next level of learning. The curriculum, including the instructional methods and resources used to teach the standards, is a separate issue and is determined at the local level, per KRS 160.345.
To provide feedback on the draft KAS for Career Studies and the draft KAS for Financial Literacy documents, please use the Career Studies and Financial Literacy Public Comment Form. Due to the amount of text within the survey, it is recommended that surveys be completed on a full-size computer or laptop screen. Participants are provided with the opportunity to give feedback on all standards or self-selected areas of interest.
Feedback on the standards will be collected through March 28.
Questions on this process can be directed to Sharon Collins.
