  17. What Does It All Mean? • Senate Bill 1, passed in 2009, required new standards for core subjects. Standards are the basis for content that is taught in subjects like reading and mathematics. • Kentucky and other states developed common standards for reading and math, so there would be consistency nationwide.

  18. What Does It All Mean? • Kentucky’s focus is college and career readiness for all students. • The new standards will help teachers prepare students for a changing world and connect education with the economy and employment.

  19. What Does It All Mean? • They will help principals with leadership, planning and making decisions that are best for students. •  The new Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP) tests are connected to the new, tougher standards.

  20. What Does It All Mean? • K-PREP replaces the Kentucky Core Content Tests, which were given under the old CATS system. • The tests are more challenging and are directly tied to college/career readiness. •  Students will experience more rigorous curriculum, instruction and tests.
