Questions About Humanities
Q: How does the KET humanities class differ from the other classes offered through KET?
A: The humanities program is designed for use by a certified teacher, either as a complete curriculum or classroom resource. The teacher of record for German, Latin, and physics classes is the KET instructor; the onsite facilitator does not have to be certified.
Q: How is testing and grading handled in humanities?
A: Tests and keys are posted on the web under a password for teacher/facilitator use. These tests may be modified according to the teacher's needs and are graded by the teacher. The classroom teacher also assigns the final course grade.
Q. How do I use humanities if my classes are on a block schedule?
A: The first section of class, usually 35-45 minutes, contains the required class material. A block segment follows the short stretch break. This enrichment segment may contain an assignment or slideshow, or it may be used for hands-on activities or review.
Q. Can students take humanities by independent study?
A: Yes, as long as an onsite teacher or facilitator monitors the student, administers tests, prints and collects study sheets, and fields questions. The KET humanities teacher and assistant will also work one-on-one with students at any time.
