Grand Blanc Community Schools Staff Presentation on High School Redesign January, 2007 Jeremy M. Hughes, Ph.D. Deputy Supt./Chief Academic Officer

2 High School Redesign: A Three Legged Stool Content Expectations Assessments Graduation Requirements

3 1 st Leg of Stool: Content Expectations – Algebra I and II Geometry Pre-Calculus Statistics and Probability Biology Chemistry Physics Earth Science English 9, 10

4 Content Expectations – Under Development English 11, 12 US History and Geography World History and Geography Civics Economics

5 “Before the name goes on, the quality goes in.”

6 Intent of Legislation Beginning with the freshman class in fall 2007, when the transcript says “Algebra I” or “Biology” etc., it signifies that, regardless of where a student has gone to school in Michigan, the content expectations have been taught and the student has been reasonably proficient.

7 Guidelines Published Visual, Performing, Applied Arts Online Experience Under Development Physical Education and Health Languages Other Than English

Completion Schedule

New MDE High School Web Page

10 2 nd Leg of Stool: Assessment Michigan Merit Exam (MME) replaces high school MEAP ACT-PLAN or PSAT replaces MEAP to qualify for dual enrollment Secondary Credit Assessments (SCA’s) to be developed (e.g. end-of-course exams) within 3 years

11 Michigan Merit Exam (MME) Participation not required by legislation Assessment results, however, critical to school and district AYP report card Legislation allows local district to institute as graduation requirement

12 MME Components ACT WorkKeys Social Studies (59 Q’s) Michigan Science supplement (53 Q’s) Michigan Math supplement (15 Q’s)

13 HS Content Expectations in MME Spring 2007 – current high school benchmarks are basis, not new content 2008 – new Math expectations will be included 2009 – new Science expectations included

14 ACT-PLAN and PSAT Generally administered in 10 th grade Passing scores have been set by state Plan –Math 18 –Reading 17 –Science 19 –English 21 PSAT –Critical Reading 44 –Writing Skills 49 –Math 45 District or student must pay cost of test

15 Secondary Credit Assessments (SCA’s) To be developed by state within 3 years - in Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies areas required for graduation Algebra I and Geometry piloted in January 2007 Available to districts but use not required

16 SCA’s – cont’d. Multiple formats: End-of-course exams Semester or marking period “Testlets”

17 SCA’s – cont’d. District not required to use state SCA’s May develop own or use current assessments if they cover the required content expectations Law requires that award of credit be based “in part” on assessment

20 Effective Dates 8 th graders entering fall of 2006 (graduating class of 2011) For “Language Other Than English” requirement: 3 rd graders entering fall of 2006 (graduating class of 2016)

21 Clarifying Graduation Requirements Mathematics 4 th Math credit Math in final year of HS Math in middle school Integrated Math

22 Clarifying – Cont’d. 4 th Math Credit Math or “math-related” District determines “math- related” Guidance: proportion of Math GLCE’s or HSCE’s covered “Highly Qualified” teacher issue

23 Clarifying– Cont’d. Math in Final Year of HS Rationale: “keep math skills fresh” Law does not specify amount of credit “Math-related” credit may satisfy

24 Clarifying– Cont’d. Math in Middle School Would reduce # of credits in high school “Final year” Math still required

25 Clarifying– Cont’d. Integrated Math Law recognizes and allows Integrated Science also recognized and allowed Assessment needs to be designed carefully

26 Clarifying– Cont’d. 3 rd Science Credit Biology and Chemistry OR Physics District to determine what classes/programs qualify for 3 rd credit Law encourages students to take a 4 th credit in Science

27 Clarifying– Cont’d. Earth Science Originally included in law as grad requirement Removed in final version MDE required, however, to develop SCA for Earth Science Earth Science expectations coded as “Essential” will be included in MME

28 Clarifying– Cont’d. Credit for Middle School Classes Must cover same content expectations as high school Must use same assessment Must require same level of proficiency Law: credit “shall” be awarded

29 Clarifying– Cont’d. “Testing Out” Current law continues –C+ grade New legislation adds: –Must cover content expectations –Must use state or district exam –Credit “shall” be awarded

30 Clarifying– Cont’d. “Credit” vs. “Course” Law does not speak of “classes” or “courses” Opens door to a system based on competency vs. Carnegie Unit Credit can be earned in other curriculum areas (e.g. Career/Technical Ed) A required credit cannot, however, substitute for another required credit (double-dipping)

31 “Credit” vs. “Course” cont’d. Projects currently underway to map ELA and Math in CTE programs Law acknowledges students may satisfy credit requirements through: - Dual enrollment - Advanced Placement - International Baccalaureate - Other “early college” experiences or programs - On-line learning Clarifying– Cont’d

32 Clarifying– Cont’d. Credit mix is up to local school district Law does not say.5/.5 Health requirement may be met in other credit areas Health teachers must be certified/endorsed ( Health Ed, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health/PE/Rec ) Physical Education and Health

33 Clarifying– Cont’d. District to determine what classes/programs qualify MDE has developed Guidelines Applied Arts refers to programs such as Vocational or Industrial Technology Guidelines emphasize element of creativity Visual, Performing, Applied Arts

34 Clarifying– Cont’d. 2 credits in high school..OR.. Course work or other learning experiences prior to high school (Guidelines currently being developed) American Sign Language (ASL) qualifies Requirement may be met on-line Language Other Than English

35 Clarifying– Cont’d. On-Line Course or Learning Experience Can be satisfied in 2 ways: Credit or non-credit course or learning experience…OR… District has integrated on-line learning into each credit area required for graduation MDE has developed Guidelines

36 Clarifying– Cont’d. Special Education Basic premise: all grad requirements apply Law contains provision for “Personal Curriculum” (PC) PC available to all students Recent amendment to law allows PC to be modified further for “student with disabilities”
