Causes for Concern

Course vs. Credits Parent, Student, & Counselor must sign

off on the Graduation Plan Ability to switch endorsements until the

start of Junior year Math & Science credits Algebra II as a requirement Multidisciplinary

Causes for Concern, continued Course vs. Credits

• 4 sequential courses; not credits

Overwhelming Nature of Individual Plans• Create “Templates” to apply to 90%+• Allow for customization as needed

Math & Science Courses• Allows students to take two different

semester classes to count towards a credit.

Causes for Concern, continued Ability to switch endorsements until the

start of Junior year• Reason for Major & Minor• Allows for the first “back-up” plan

Multidisciplinary• Unsure how this will look to colleges
