Vision & Mission

What do students need to learn?

• More than 300 teachers have worked at the district level in subject area or grade level teams to create curriculum that is aligned with state and national standards for implementation in each Oldham County classroom.

How will we engage them so they learn best?

• Oldham County teachers, with the help of literacy coaches at each school, are working with their Professional Learning Community colleagues to engage students daily with research based instructional strategies.
• Teachers and staff at each Oldham County school have established a student-centered culture which is safe and responsive to the holistic needs of our students.

How will we know when each student has learned?

• Teachers use powerful formative assessment strategies to measure the learning of each student daily at the classroom level.
• The learning of our students is assessed and compared to the learning of students throughout Kentucky each year on the Kentucky Core Content Test (KCCT).
• The learning of our students is also assessed and compared to the learning of students throughout our nation on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (grades 1-7), the EXPLORE (8th grade), the PSAT (9th grade), the PLAN (10th grade), and the ACT (11th grade).

How will we respond when a student experiences difficulty in learning?

• If any of the above assessments show that a student is experiencing difficulty in learning, teachers and school support staff intervene immediately using an intervention plan that consists of additional time and support for students.

How will we respond when a student clearly has mastery of the learning standards?

• To ensure continuous progress, teachers and school staff will provide learning activities to enrich material and accelerate students when a student demonstrates mastery of content.
