KCK+Standards

This document explains the process of instruction and assessment in KCK. KCK Standards have been organized showing how the State Standards are aligned with the ACT College Readiness Standards in English and Reading.
 * __The KCK Standards-Based Instruction and Assessment Approach__**

We still have four units of study organized by genre which should be taught in accordance to the KCK Pacing Guide. Each unit has specific standards that must be taught and assessed. These standards will be measured by two different methods of assessment. As explained below, one method is checkpoint assessment and the other is classroom-based assessment. There will also be two writing prompts assigned to specific Check-Point Assessments.

//There are two checkpoint assessments per unit that will cover the reading and writing standards. The format of these assessments will follow the format of the ACT and the KCA. These are multiple-choice assessments supplied to KCKPS by Evans Newton Institute (ENI) and administered within specific assessment windows. These assessments will include only the identified standards with up to six questions per standard. These assessments will be given online, and results will be immediate. **Please note that these standards should also be assessed within the classroom prior to the Check-Point Assessment.**//
 * //__Checkpoint Assessment: (CK)__//**

//These are authentic assessments generated by the Professional Learning Community. These assessments do not have to be paper-and-pencil but may take that particular form if the PLC chooses to assess in that fashion. The classroom-based assessments can be assessed as many times as the PLC determines.//
 * //__Classroom-Based Assessment: (CB)__//**

//The writing prompt will mirror the ACT and the KWA. These prompts will be administered twice and will be the district common assessment for writing.//
 * //__Writing Prompt: (WP)__//**

Please note that the standards remain the same 6th through 12th grade, but they grow in depth. Please click on any of the following links to see the KCK Standards, how the state standards are embedded in them and how all appropriate standards are aligned to the ACT College Readiness Standards.
