  2. Does the mention of HB 5 Graduation Plans and Endorsements make you feel like this?

  3. We hope you leave today feeling like this! Better understanding of Endorsements! How Options work? What Endorsements you are already set to offer! Resources for understanding/ working with students/parents! PGP Requirements and Samples!

  7. HB 5 Updates and Clarifications… FAQs Posted on TEA Website • Multidisciplinary is Chemistry and/or Physics (Q4 on Endorsement FAQ) • Arts and Humanities Option B-5 SS CREDITS not COURSES as previously stated in the proposed rules • Arts and Humanities there is an option that does not include a 4th year science-can substitute another core course- see proposed rules Placement of US History • W. Geography/W. History…What other schools are doing… PGP • HS PGP-8th graders and parents informed/pick endorsement • PGP confirmed by the end of 9th grade year • If Endorsement changes-notify parents in writing • If Endorsement is dropped at end of 10th-parents notified in writing During each year of a student’s enrollment in high school or at the high school level, a school counselor must provide information about postsecondary education to the student and student’s parent or guardian…must include… • The importance of postsecondary ed. • The advantages of earning an endorsement, performance acknowledgement, and completing distinguished level under the foundation program

  9. HB 5 Updates and Clarifications… CTE Courses for Math, Science, and English Credit • CTE teacher must have appropriate certification, complete Project Share professional development (only for math and science courses), AND meet Highly Qualified Requirements (HQ House). • Math and Science teachers must have appropriate certification, complete Project Share professional development, AND meet Highly Qualified Requirements. • There is no Project Share professional development for English.

  17. Foundation Advance Courses – SBOE Rule Third Science Credit

  18. Languages Other Than English (LOTE) –SBOE Rule • Any two levels in the same language • Two credits in computer programming languages selected from Computer Science I, II, and III • If a student, in completing the first credit of LOTE, demonstrates that the student is unlikely to be able to complete the second credit, the student may substitute another appropriate course as follows: • Special Topics in Language and Culture • World History Studies or World Geography Studies for a student who is not required to complete both by the local district • Computer programming languages • A different language course

  19. Languages Other Than English (LOTE) –SBOE Rule • A student, who due to a disability, is unable to complete two credits in the same language in LOTE, may substitute: • a combination of two credits from English language arts, mathematics, science, or social studies • two credits in career and technical education or technology applications • The determination regarding a student's ability to complete the LOTE credit requirements will be made by: • the student's ARD committee if the student receives special education services under the TEC, Chapter 29, Subchapter A or • the committee established for the student under Section 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 United States Code (USC), §794)

  20. Speech Requirement- SBOE Rule How? A specific speech course will not be a requirement under the Foundation High School Program… New Requirement: To receive a high school diploma, a student must demonstrate proficiency, as determined by the district in which the student is enrolled, in: • delivering clear verbal messages • choosing effective nonverbal behaviors • listening for desired results • applying valid critical-thinking and problem-solving processes • identifying, analyzing, developing, and evaluating communication skills needed for professional • and social success in interpersonal situations, • group interactions, and personal and professional presentations

  34. 2 Endorsements/CTE/Coherent Sequence

  35. Endorsements – Statutory Requirements • A student may earn an endorsement by successfully completing: • curriculum requirements for the endorsement • four credits in mathematics • four credits in science • two additional elective credits • A student can earn more than one endorsement.

  36. Endorsements and POS

  37. Endorsement Advanced Courses – SBOE Rule Fourth Mathematics Credit to Earn an Endorsement *Note: A course on this list may be taken either before or after one of the following courses: Mathematical Models with Applications, Mathematical Applications in Agriculture Food and Natural Resources, Digital Electronics, Robotics Programming and Design

  38. Foundation Advanced Courses – SBOE Rule Fourth Science Credit to Earn an Endorsement

  39. Endorsements – Statutory Requirements Each school district must make available to high school students courses that allow a student to complete the curriculum requirements for at least one endorsement. A school district that offers only one endorsement curriculum must offer the multidisciplinary studies endorsement curriculum. A school district defines advanced courses and determines a coherent sequence of courses for an endorsement area, provided that prerequisites are followed. A course completed as part of the set of four courses needed to satisfy an endorsement requirement may also satisfy a requirement under the foundation high school program, including an elective requirement.

  40. Endorsement Planning Practice Endorsement Planning Guide District only has to offer one viable option for students to earn an endorsement

  41. STEM – SBOE Rule A student may earn a STEM endorsement by completing foundation and general endorsement requirements including Algebra II, chemistry, and physics and: a coherent sequence courses for four or more credits in CTE that consists of at least two courses in the same career cluster including at least one advanced CTE course which includes any course that is the third or higher course in a sequence. The courses may be selected from courses in all CTE career clusters or CTE innovative courses approved by the commissioner of education. The final course in the sequence must be selected from the STEM career cluster. (B) a coherent sequence of four credits in computer science selected from the following:

  42. STEM – SBOE Rule A student may earn a STEM endorsement by completing foundation and general endorsement requirements including Algebra II, chemistry, and physics and: (C) A total of five credits in mathematics by successfully completing Algebra I, geometry, Algebra II and two additional mathematics courses for which Algebra II is a prerequisite (D) A total of five credits in science by successfully completing biology, chemistry, physics, and two additional science courses (E) In addition to Algebra II, chemistry, and physics, a coherent sequence of three additional credits from no more than two of the areas listed in (A), (B), (C), and (D)

  43. Guided Practice! • Example 2: • Principles of Manufacturing • Welding • Electronics • Advanced Electronics Two courses from Manufacturing CC And two courses from STEM CC All courses from STEM Career Cluster • STEM Endorsement Option A • Example 1: • Concepts of Engineering • Engineering Design and Presentation • Engineering Mathematics • Robotics and Automation
