Key Project Standards Alignment Explanation

Hello!

This page details how the 10 Anchor Standards in the Key Project Section of this course align to the CCSS and the new KAS standards (2019 KY standards). 

Completing all 10 required Key Projects allows students an opportunity to provide evidence of the new KAS standards as well as the Common Core standards. 

This is particularly important if students may move to non-KY schools or if they are preparing for non-KY assessments. 

​This page also aligns the 32 Summit Learning Cognitive Skills to the KAS and Anchor standards, should these projects be used in a Summit Learning environment.
