INSTRUCTION
Continuous Progress Education
The Kennewick School District is focused on ensuring that all students meet the standards of the
state of Washington and the federal government. The current focus of those standards is
competency in reading, writing and math, but is expanding to include competency in science and
other content areas.
The Kennewick School District is striving to develop instructional programs which are designed
to enable each student to achieve or exceed grade-level expectations. Students who are behind
will be expected to achieve catch-up growth as well.
This plan may include grouping of students as well as providing for individual instruction, the
determination to be made on the basis of the student's achievement based on multiple assessment
measures and the recommendation of the teacher and/or staff specialist. The instructional
program shall recognize placement of a student at his/her appropriate functional level, provision
of learning materials and modes of instruction which are considered to be most appropriate to the
student's learning style, and assessment to determine the degree to which the desired outcome
has been achieved.
Individual buildings will be held accountable for developing School Improvement Plans to
achieve the goals above.
