  11. Core 40 Technical Honors Diploma

  12. For the Core 40 with Technical Honors diploma, students must: Complete all requirements for Core 40. Earn 6 credits in the college and career preparation courses in a state-approved College & Career Pathway and one of the following: Pathway designated industry-based certification or credential, or Pathway dual credits from the lists of priority courses resulting in 6 transcripted college credits Complete one of the following, - Any one of the 5 options for the Core 40 with Academic Honors - Earn the following scores or higher on WorkKeys; Reading for Information – Level 6, Applied Mathematics – Level 6, and Locating Information-Level 5. - Earn the following minimum score(s) on Accuplacer: Writing 80, Reading 90, Math 75. - Earn the following minimum score(s) on Compass; Algebra 66, Writing 70, Reading 80.

  13. General Diploma • Beginning with students who enter high school in 2007-2008, completion of Core 40 becomes a graduation requirement. • A general diploma is only available to students whose parents feel students are unable to complete the Core 40 curriculum. • To graduate with less than Core 40, a formal Opt-out process must be completed. • Beginning in fall 2011, Core 40 will be an admissions requirement to attend a public four-year university in Indiana (Core 40 is a minimum requirement – colleges may have additional admissions requirements).

  14. General Diploma

  15. Core 40 Opt-Out Triggers • A parent may request that a student be exempted from the Core 40 curriculum and be required to complete the general diploma to graduate, or • The student does not pass at least three (3) courses required under the Core 40 curriculum, or • The student receives a score on the graduation examination that is in the twenty-fifth percentile or lower when taking the graduation exam for the first time. ***If the decision is made to opt-out of Core 40, the student is required to complete the course/credit requirements for a general diploma and the career/academic sequence the student will pursue is determined.

  16. Core 40 Opt-Out Process • The student, the student’s parent/guardian, and the student’s counselor meet to discuss the student’s progress. • The student’s career/course plan is reviewed. • The student’s parent/guardian determines whether the student will achieve greater educational benefits by completing the general curriculum or the Core 40 curriculum. • Opt-Out form signed by parent and student

  17. 10th Grade Enrollment Decisions English Social Studies Math Science Foreign Language Electives

  18. Considerations for course selection: • Any English, math, or science course that you did not pass must be repeated. • Have you completed health and PE? • Strength of schedule is very important to four-year colleges. Four college prep classes/semester recommended.

  19. English Choices English 10 or English 10, Honors • Recommendation of B- in English 9, Honors or A+ in English 9 • Refer to course description booklet for detailed recommendations. Electives: Student Publications

  20. Social Studies World History or AP World History • Recommendation of B in English 9, Honors or A+ in English 9 • Refer to course description booklet for detailed recommendations • Next year will be the first year for AP World History. It is very important to understand the rigor and pace of this course before registering for the class.

  21. New Course offering…….. WORLD HISTORY, ADVANCED PLACEMENT:  This course is equivalent to an introductory college level course with content that has been established by the College Board.  Students will be expected to learn historical facts, use advanced thinking skills, and write well.  This course relies heavily on college-level resources including a textbook, primary sources, and historical articles.  The class will be taught at the college level, so students will need to be committed and willing to work hard.  Students will be required to keep up with reading outside of class, complete approximately one hour of homework each day, and participate in class discussions and presentations.  Summer assignments will be given to students and must be completed by the first day of school.  Students will regularly be asked to compare and contrast societies, analyze change over time, and analyze primary sources and point of view.  Students will write many essays to prepare for the AP World History test that is required in May.  The test is mandatory as part of the course and the test cost has varied but was $89 during the 2012-2013 school year.

  22. Math Choices Algebra I Algebra I, Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra II Algebra II, Honors ***Check with your math teacher for their recommendation.

  23. 2 Options for Math(junior or senior level) Trigonometry (Sem 1) Probability and Statistics (Sem 2) Both classes count towards academic honors math credit. Both are one semester classes Prerequisite of Algebra II (reg. or honors) These classes will carry a regular class weight These are not college credit classes.

  24. Science Choices

  25. PLTW BioMed Science option The PLTW BioMed Science course will count towards a third year science credit for all diploma types. You are still required to take a quantitative reasoning course your junior and senior year.

  26. World Languages French I or II German I or II Spanish I or II Colleges prefer to see advanced study of one language, however, at least two years of a foreign language are recommended.
