Kentucky Academic Standards prepare teachers to help student achieve these standards Reading Foundational Skills Mathematics Print Concepts Phonological Awareness Phonics and Word Recognition Fluency Vocabulary acquisition and use Comprehension* Practices 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others 4. Model with mathematics 5. Use appropriate tools strategically 6. Attend to precision 7. Look for and make use of structure 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning *embedded into the standards and guiding principles for reading literature and informational texts (key ideas, craft & structure, Mathematical content standards are grade specific
International Literacy Standards (2017) International Literacy Standards (2017) ILA: STANDARD 1: Foundational Knowledge ILA STANDARD 2: Curriculum & Instruction ILA STANDARD 3: Assessment and Evaluation 1.1: Candidates demonstrate knowledge of major theoretical, conceptual, and evidence-based components of pre-K/primary& elementary/intermediate reading development (i.e., concepts of print, phonological awareness, phonics, word recognition, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension) and evidence-based instructional approaches that support development. 2.2: Candidates plan, modify, and implement evidence-based, developmentally appropriate, and integrated instructional approaches that develop reading processes as related to foundational skills (i.e., concepts of print, phonological awareness, phonics, word recognition, fluency), vocabulary, and comprehension for pre- K/primary & elementary/intermediated learners. 3.1: Candidate understand the purposes, strengths and limitations, reliability/validity, format, and appropriateness of various types of informal and formal assessments. 3.3: Candidates use results of various assessment measures to inform and/or modify instruction.
