The "Kentucky Model Curriculum Framework" serves as a facilitation guide to help an instructional supervisor, principal, and/or teacher leader provide a rationale for the need to revisit curriculum planning, offering some background information and exercises to generate "future-oriented" thinking, and suggesting a process for designing and reviewing the local curriculum. As content standards are being revised, educators and communities must guarantee 21st-century readiness that will prepare learners for college and career success. The students of the Commonwealth expect a curriculum designed and structured for a rigorous, relevant and personalized learning experience, including anytime/anywhere learning opportunities. This resource will ensure local district and/or school curriculum reflects the tools, environments, and guiding principles to support 21st-century learning practices. The "Framework" creates an ideal model by which educators implement a rigorous and effective curriculum that generates student achievement. It consistently establishes what professional educators are expected to do for the next generation of learners of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Kentuckians, as global citizens, need to be able to think critically, solve problems, innovate, collaborate, and communicate effectively. As a resource, the "Kentucky Model Curriculum Framework" provides a blueprint for schools and districts by engaging families and communities to make this happen.
