The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is accepting applications for the Reading and Writing Standards and Assessment Review Committee (RC) and Advisory Panels (AP). 

KRS 158.6453 calls for the KDE to implement a process for reviewing all academic standards and aligned assessments beginning in the 2017-2018 school year. The review process for the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Reading and Writing will begin in January 2025. 

The KDE is seeking current K-12 classroom teachers to participate in this work. Applicants will be required to meet in Frankfort for approximately five to 10 days in the 2025 spring semester. 

If applicable, team members will receive reimbursement for travel expenses and the teacher’s school district will be reimbursed for substitute teacher expenses. Selected applicants will be asked to verify the willingness of their school or district to release them for work dates.  

The online application will be posted for 30 days. Applications will be accepted through Nov. 4. Selected team members will be notified by Nov. 15. 

Questions on this process can be emailed to the Standards Team.
