K-12 Writing Composition
The new Kentucky Academic Standards, released for the 19-20 school year contains many references to digital publication. The standards listed below are from the composition strand of the new Reading and Writing Standards. This strand of the Reading and Writing standards is included in the ILP framework because a digital portfolio is a great platform for students to showcase proficiency in the area of digital composition. While K-2 students are not asked to collect evidence specifically for an ILP, those students should still be exposed to digital composition as described below. Source: Kentucky Academic Standards
