Science Slated for Assessment 2017*

Implications for Your Classroom Social Studies and Science must still be taught in EVERY grade level with respect to the time it takes to do it correctly Science and SS is an extension of your literacy plan…Informational Reading and Writing, Speaking, Listening and Research are to be focused on in context during this time. Every grade level must be teaching their Science standards NOW or there will be serious gaps in 2017 the way the standards are currently written. They do not repeat year to year like KCAS Primary Standards. K-3 is 4/5ths of the assessed standards, they must not be short changed at the primary level. 5th and 6th Science is two thirds of the middle school science curriculum. It MUST not be short changed at the elementary level. SS- will be learning how to use the Inquiry Cycle and begin preparing for the shift. Content will not change at this point for any grade level with the exception of possibly 6th for the 2016-17 school year. Master schedules MUST show adequate time for social studies and science at the elementary level in EVERY grade level. Daily classroom schedules should reflect this.
