  1. Course Enrollment For the sophomore class of 2011-2012

  2. How do you choose courses? • What type of education/training is required for your planned career area/job? • What schools offer the career area/program? • Have you investigated admission requirements? • Have you prepared by enrolling in challenging high school courses?

  3. Basic preparation • Meet ECA requirements in Algebra I and English 10 • Earn a diploma • Regular diploma • Core 40 diploma • Academic Honors diploma

  4. GQE Requirements • Meet ECA requirements in Algebra I (564) and English 10 (360) • Waiver • Retest at least once a year • Complete all remediation provided by school • Maintain 95% attendance rate • Achieve a C- average (1.5 GPA) in the 34 credits specifically required for graduation • Complete all graduation requirements • Complete requirements for “Evidence-based” waiver or “Work-readiness” waiver

  5. Core 40 Diploma

  6. Core 40 with Academic Honors Diploma

  7. Additional considerations for Academic Honors Diploma: Must complete ONE of the following: • 2 AP courses and corresponding AP exams –OR- • Dual HS/college courses resulting in 6 college credits –OR- • 1 AP course and corresponding AP exam and a dual HS/college course resulting in 3 college credits –OR- • 1200 or higher on SAT combined critical reading and math –OR- • ACT composite of 26 or above

  8. 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).

  9. 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.

  10. 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

  11. General Diploma

  12. 10th Grade Enrollment Decisions English Social Studies Math Science Foreign Language Electives

  13. 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.

  14. English Choices English 10 or English 10, Honors • Need minimum of B- in English 9, Honors or A+ in English 9 plus teacher recommendation • A recommendation does not automatically secure admission to the course Electives: Student Publications

  15. Social Studies World History or World History, Honors • No longer linked to English 10, Honors • Need minimum of B- in English 9, Honors or A+ in English 9 • Space is limited and GPA may be used to limit class size. There are no electives in social studies for sophomores.

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

  17. Science Choices

  18. 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.
