The attributes of Kentucky's Primary Program are developmentally appropriate practices; multi-age classrooms; continuous progress; authentic assessment; qualitative reporting; professional teamwork; and parent involvement. This document serves as a guide for teachers who wish to make changes concerning these attributes as they relate to four specific areas of education. These areas are considered in four sections of the document, each of which provides a checklist of attitudes and activities relating to the area. The sections are: (1) The Learning Environment, containing statements on program philosophy and organization, learning tools, and scheduling; (2) Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum, including statements on philosophy, integrated curriculum, varied instructional strategies, and multi-age groupings; (3) Educational Partnerships, including partnerships between teachers and other teachers, assistants, specialists, principals, parents, and the community; and (4) Assessment, containing statements on student assessment and recording methods, assessment of teachers, and program assessment. A score sheet and school practices profile are included for measuring the results of the checklists. Appendixes include worksheets for teachers to use to document practices and curriculum approaches, a list of materials and supplies, descriptions of learning centers, and a delineation of the theory of multiple intelligences.
