Abstract
Based on data collected from a survey of Kentucky secondary English teachers, this project will analyze data that describes typical local curricular decisions and their relationship to Program of Studies and Core Content. In an effort to determine educators’ perceptions of literacy, the survey will collect responses from English departments in school systems statewide to discover what Kentucky students are typically asked to read at various levels. Likewise, it may investigate the degree of alignment in teacher education programs that prepare future English teachers to teach those texts.
