15 Aldine Independent School District HIGH SCHOOL PLANNING GUIDE INTRODUCTION This high school planning guide is designed to assist students and parents in planning course selections for the school year. Course selection and planning for the high school years involve educational decisions that include the student, counselor, teachers, and parents. It is important that these decisions be made carefully with personal objectives, educational goals, and post-high school plans considered. Assisting students in selecting the appropriate courses is an important function of the counselor. Students and parents should feel free to contact the counseling staff at any time during the course selection process. Counselors may be contacted by calling or visiting the school. An appointment is preferable for the parent's convenience. Each student is encouraged to use this guide to plan for his/her total high school program. Using this guide, students will be developing a four year plan of study that includes a career pathway. Information found in this booklet is subject to change. High School Planning Guide
16 Graduation and Testing Requirements Passed by House Bill 5-83 rd Texas Legislative Session House Bill 5 (HB 5) is a law passed during the Texas 83 rd Legislative session that changed graduation requirements for students entering 9 th grade (current 8 th grade students) during school year. HB5 is designed to allow students more flexibility in the selection of their high school courses to prepare them to either pursue a traditional path into colleges and universities or move directly into the workforce. The new law created the new Foundation High School Diploma Plan that allows students to earn an endorsement in one of five areas: Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), Business and Industry, Public Services, Arts and Humanities, and Multidisciplinary. Under House Bill 5 a student entering 9 th grade, school year, and thereafter must enroll in courses necessary to complete the requirements for the Foundation High School Program and the requirements for at least one endorsement. The new Foundation High School Graduation Plan replaces the current Minimum, Recommended, and Distinguished Achievement Graduation Plans, but allows for current 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to choose to graduate under their current plan or opt for the new graduation plan created by House Bill 5. House Bill 5 also reduced the number of State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) End of Course (EOC) Assessments students are required to pass for a high school diploma from 15 to 5. They are: English I English II Algebra I Biology U. S. History The English exams are a combined reading and writing assessment. WHAT IS AN ENDORSEMENT? An endorsement is earned when a student completes a sequence of elective courses in a concentrated area of study. To earn any endorsement, a student must successfully complete the requirements for the Foundation High School Program and: An additional advanced mathematics course = 4 total credits in mathematics An additional advanced science course = 4 total credits in science 2 elective credits in addition to the elective credits required for the FHSP Students may earn endorsements in the following areas: Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) - The science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) endorsement includes courses directly related to science, High School Planning Guide
17 including environmental science, technology, computer science, engineering, and advanced mathematics. Business and Industry - includes courses directly related to database management, information technology, communications, accounting, finance, marketing, graphic design, architecture, construction, welding, logistics, automotive technology, agricultural science, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning Public Services - includes courses directly related to health sciences, human services, education and training, government and public administration, and law enforcement. Arts and Humanities - includes courses directly related to political science, world languages, cultural studies, English literature, history, and fine arts. Multidisciplinary - allows a student to complete prescribed courses from each of the four foundation subject areas, advanced placement courses from each of the four foundation subject areas or four advanced courses from within one endorsement area or among endorsement areas not in a coherent sequence. Students must earn 26 credits to graduate under the FHSP with an endorsement. HOW ARE ENDORSEMENTS SELECTED? Each 8 th grade student completes an educational plan of study (4 year plan) based on his/her career assessment while taking the Exploring Careers course in middle school. The educational plan of study designates which endorsement the student will pursue. Students may earn more than one endorsement and are allowed to change their original endorsement selection as requested. The educational plan of study is sent home for parental input and approval. High School Planning Guide
18 SAMPLE COPY OF AN EDUCATIONAL PLAN OF STUDY DISTINGUISHED LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT A student may earn a distinguished level of achievement by successfully completing: A total of four (4) credits in mathematics which must include Algebra II A total of four (4) credits in science, and The curriculum requirements for at least one (1) endorsement High School Planning Guide
19 PERFORMANCE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS House Bill 5 allows a student to earn a performance acknowledgement on his/her diploma and transcript by completing one of the following: 12 hours in dual credit courses with a grade of A or B, earning an associate degree while in high school, in bilingualism and biliteracy, an Advanced Placement (AP) test (score of 3 or higher) International Baccalaureate (IB) exam (score of 4 or higher), PSAT (National Merit/Commended Scholar), SAT (combined critical reading and mathematics score of 1250), ACT (composite score of 28), or by earning an industry-based license or certification. There is more information about HB 5 graduation plans, endorsements and much more in the following pages. If you have any specific questions about HB 5 or graduation plans and requirements, please contact your child s designated campus counselor. High School Planning Guide
