Module Series KAS for Social Studies: Inquiry Ready • • KAS for Social Studies: Inquiry Ready are three online modules for developing an understanding of the new Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Social Studies. These online modules help educators by unpacking big ideas (inquiry, equity, literacy and action) and instructional tools for the work. This interactive module is available through the web based platform, Digital Driver’s License. Every Kentucky school district has access to this platform and educators can log in with their school email or their Google account. 22

Module Two: Making Inquiry Visible in Social Studies • This module aims to help teachers become clear about the practice of inquiry by designing an inquiry using the Inquiry Design Model. TM(IDM). • Key features: videos, annotated slides, video transcripts, formative assessments and a summative assessment. 24

Module Three: Getting to Work • This module focuses on getting to work using inquiry in elementary, middle school, and high school classrooms. • Key features: videos, annotated slides, video transcripts, formative assessments and a summative assessment. 25

Student Assignment Library ● The Student Assignment Library provides examples of student tasks that are weakly, partially and strongly aligned to standards. ● Strongly aligned tasks are provided for each grade Kindergarten through Grade 8 and one assignment is provided for the high school grade band. ● Weak and/or partially aligned tasks are provided for each grade band (elementary, middle and high). ● The assignments can be used with the Assignment Review Protocol to develop a better understanding of the tool and how it can be applied to a teacher’s own work. ● Grade-level aligned assignment examples with Teacher Notes that provide guidance for implementation (in development) 33

KAS for Social Studies Glossary of Terms 34

KAS for Social Studies Glossary of Terms ○ Terms are used throughout the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Social Studies. This document provides an alphabetical list of definitions and descriptions of these terms. The KAS for Social Studies writing committee identified terms that they felt were essential to understanding the content and skills in the standards. ○ The identified key vocabulary terms listed are possible suggestions; they are not the only terms that may be used during instruction. Additionally, it is important to note that merely knowing the definitions of these terms is not enough to obtain mastery of the standards. 35

High School Disciplinary Clarifications 36

High School Disciplinary Clarifications 37

High School Disciplinary Clarifications ● Based on feedback during the standards implementation process, a “High School Disciplinary Clarifications and Instructional Support” document for the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Social Studies is now available. ● The disciplinary clarifications include sample ideas of content and concepts to help teachers better understand the expectations of the standards. The identified disciplinary clarifications are possible suggestions; however, they are not the only pathways and are not comprehensive to obtain mastery of the standards. The “High School: Disciplinary Clarifications and Instructional Support” document is a supplemental resource and should not be used in place of the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Social Studies. 38
