Join education leaders in a review of graduation to ensure educational excellence and equity
The New York State Education Department (NYSED) is seeking your input as they review the state’s high school graduation requirements. You are invited and encouraged to attend a virtual forum to provide feedback on Tuesday, December 7, from 2:00-4:30 PM.
The meetings will include the opportunity to break into small groups to discuss:
- What do we want all students to know and to be able to do before they graduate?
- How do we want all students to demonstrate such knowledge and skills, while capitalizing on their cultures, languages, and experiences?
- How do you measure learning and achievement (as it pertains to the answers to #2 above) to ensure they are indicators of high school completion while enabling opportunities for all students to succeed?
- How can measures of achievement accurately reflect the skills and knowledge of our special populations, such as students with disabilities and English language learners?
- What course requirements or examinations will ensure that all students are prepared for college, careers, and civic engagement?
