Join educators from across Kansas in setting cut points for the KAP 2025 Assessments. During the KAP Standard Setting, educators will analyze the test items for each KAP assessment, along with performance-level descriptors, and set cut points that reflect student proficiency levels.  

The KAP Standard Setting will be held in person from June 9 through 13 in Topeka. Panelists will be selected to serve on a two-day or three-day panel. This event will be a tremendous professional development opportunity that provides educators with a voice in how the KAP assessments are reported for students. There will be delicious meals, snacks, and ample opportunity to network with educators from across the state.
