This brief presents findings from C-SAIL’s Implementation Study, which uses interview and survey data to explore how district administrators, principals, and teachers are understanding, experiencing, and implementing the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) in English language arts (ELA) and math. We examine how and what kinds of supports are provided to teachers of all students, including students with disabilities (SWDs) and English learners (ELs) who take the general state assessment.  \nSince our research began in 2015, C-SAIL researchers have conducted a staterepresentative survey of 390 teachers and 163 principals. In addition, we have interviewed 12 state officials, and 20 district officials in six Kentucky districts. We selected the six Kentucky case study districts by identifying two urban, two suburban, and two rural districts with relatively high percentages of SWDs and ELs. We also examined other district characteristics—percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, student achievement or growth rates, and geographic location within the state—to ensure that our districts represented a range of contextual factors.  \nBelow we highlight our key survey findings on teacher perceptions on curriculum, professional development, assessments, SWDs, ELs, and outreach/communication. We share detailed insights from district officials in the six case study districts, emphasizing Kentucky’s innovative practices and notable challenges.  \nThe Center on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning [c-sail.org](c-sail.org)  \n1  \nCurriculum  \nA majority of teachers (80%) felt that their curriculum was aligned to the standards.  \nInsights  \nInnovations  \nChallenges  \nDistricts range in their use of state curriculum resources and invest a considerable amount of time and resources vetting or creating ELA and math curriculum to support teachers in implementing the KAS.  \nCurriculum is being used as a strategic tool for ensuring alignment and focus, though districts take different approaches.  \n» Two districts worked with teachers on revising or supplementing their math curriculum to address student learning gaps demonstrated by state and local assessments. One district asked teachers to use their PLC time to create curricular materials targeting these gaps. Another district reviewed how its math curriculum was being used with teachers to reorient its focus and ensure all dimensions (conceptual, application, fluency/skill) of the math standards are covered.  \n» One district enriched its curriculum by embedding major city events (e.g. visit by the Dalai Lama) into its program of study. This district also restructured the district curriculum director position to facilitate consistent instructional supports across schools.  \nDistricts continue to struggle in incentivizing teachers to move away from traditional ways of teaching (i.e., skill-building) in favor of standards-based instruction that facilitates teaching to the depth required in the KAS. Several district officials expressed concern that their teachers were not prepared to teach at the level of rigor demanded in the KAS.  \n» According to administrators, the KAS often require a deeper level of content knowledge than that covered in teacher preparation programs. They reported that teachers struggle to teach the standards comprehensively.  \n» Negative public perception of the standards has contributed to teacher resistance.  \n2 The Center on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning [c-sail.org](c-sail.org)  \nProf","cbCaieyKMxqjTnD3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieyKMxqjTnD3","pdf",272195,"English","# Curriculum\n## Insights\n## Innovations\n## Challenges\n# Professional Development (PD)\n## Insights\n## Innovations\n## Challenges","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the implementation study described in the document?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines how Kentucky’s Academic Standards (KAS) in English language arts and math are implemented, whether implementation improves student learning, and what tools measure and support it.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the researchers collect data for this study?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses interview and survey data, including a state-representative survey of teachers and principals and interviews with state and district officials in six Kentucky districts.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the teacher survey results indicate about curriculum alignment?\",\"answer\":\"A majority of teachers (80%) reported that their curriculum was aligned to the standards, though districts vary in how they use state resources and invest time in vetting or creating curriculum materials.\"}]","Implementation of Kentucky’s Learning Standards in English Language Arts and Math - Insights, Innovations, and Challenges in Six Districts | PDF",1792043339,23]
