"Making Sense of Kansas Science: Standards Alignment and Assessment "

Tuesday July 28, 2026 3:55pm - 4:55pm CDT

Walnut 208

The Kansas Science Standards are unique in their three-dimensional design, requiring alignment between standards, instruction, and assessment. In this session, district leadership teams will explore the vertical progression of the standards, use KSDE’s Science Standards Alignment Toolkit to support implementation, and examine the role of formative, interim, summative, and performance-based assessments within a balanced science assessment system. Participants will also review key KITE assessment resources and common challenges related to standards alignment and assessment use.
