Math Badging in Kentucky
Kentucky
A Pilot in 6 Kentucky Schools to Rethink High School Math
In partnership with XQ Institute, the Kentucky Center for Mathematics (KCM), and the Kentucky Department of Education, six districts (Allen, Berea Independent, Bullitt, Carter, Corbin Independent, and Johnson) are working with multi-state partners to align and implement student micro-credentials into their current Algebra I programs.
The goal of this two-year pilot is to improve math outcomes and advance equity through:
- Stronger alignment to math needed for secondary, postsecondary, and career success.
- Demonstrating student knowledge not captured by traditional grades.
- Creating opportunities to develop and reinforce math knowledge and skills.
- Validating learning outside of the classroom through work-based and other applied learning.
- Customization that engages students with math in direct relation to college and career interests.

- Corbin School of Innovation, Corbin, KY
