State of Kentucky Learning Goals and Academic Expectations
Kentucky Department of Education Learning Goals Overview Page
What are the Kentucky Learning Goals and Academic Expectations?
The centerpiece of Kentucky's education reform effort is its vision of what students should know and be able to do as a result of their school experience. Every aspect of the reform movement is designed to promote student attainment of these goals and to measure our progress in helping them to do so.
Example Kentucky Curriculum Standards: Mathematics
Students understand space and dimensionality concepts and use them appropriately and accurately.

Rathern than delineating academic expectations by specific academic subjects, Kentucky has identified six learning goals that relate to productive engagement with society (e.g., use basic communication and mathematics skills for purposes and situations they will encounter throughout their lives). Goals are divivded by elementary, middle, and high school.

Comments from readers
I would like to know the specific types of things he should be able to do at the end of both Kindergarten and 1st grade. I need to know the specifics so I know what he must know if we decide to reenter him in the public schools. We feel he just has a very poor teacher. I also need to know so I can select the curriculum that will best meet these needs.
Thank you for your information.
