2. KDE Math Connections In order to be more responsive to the needs of Kentucky math educators, a mailbox KDEmath@education.ky.gov has been created and is monitored by Frankfort-based math consultants. KDEmath@education.ky.gov CIITS - “CIITS Item Issues Form.” This document can be found on the CIITS homepage. Users complete the form when an issue is found and send the form to kdeciitsmailbox@education.ky.gov kdeciitsmailbox@education.ky.gov

9. PARCC : PARCC Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), a national consortium of 22 states, is developing Common Core State Standards (CCSS) assessments in English Language Arts/literacy (ELA/literacy) and mathematics. Kentucky joined PARCC as a Participating State in the spring of 2010 and actively helped shape PARCC’s proposal for a common, next-generation assessment system. Kentucky has been one of the states that have been playing participating or advisory roles. These roles mean KDE has been a part of discussions. KDE does not have voting authority to govern the project and has not decided to administer the assessment.(PARCC),Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

10. SMARTER-Balanced The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) is developing a system of assessments aligned to the CCSS in English Language Arts/literacy (ELA/literacy) and mathematics for grades 3-8 and 11. Kentucky is not currently taking an active role in SBAC.SBAC

11. ACT Aspire™ ACT, Inc. is developing the ACT Aspire™ assessments for grades 3–10. ACT is inviting elementary, middle, junior high, and high schools in Kentucky to participate in a major field study to develop new educational measures designed to provide valuable information about schools’ and individual students’ progress toward achieving college and career readiness. KDE is aware of this study and leaves the decision to participate to the local school.ACT Aspire™
