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.

Participating Schools:

  • Allen County-Scottsville High School, Scottsville, KY
  • Corbin School of Innovation, Corbin, KY
  • East Carter High School, Grayson, KY
  • Johnson Central High School, Paintsville, KY
  • James E. Bazzell Middle School, Scottsville, KY
  • Mount Washington Middle School, Mount Washington, KY
