Agenda New Graduation Requirements New Course Development New TEKS Resources Instructional Materials PAEMST Update TEA CAMT Schedule 3
Foundation High School Program HB 5 gives the SBOE decision-making authority in a number of areas related to the new high school graduation requirements. The SBOE adopted new rules for the Foundation High School Program on January 31, 2014. There have been numerous opportunities for input and feedback throughout the rulemaking process. The SBOE has adopted new rules regarding which courses school districts will be required to offer. (TAC Chapter 74, Subchapter A). 4
Foundation High School Program The Commissioner has adopted a transition plan to replace the MHSP, RHSP, and DAP with the Foundation High School Program beginning with the 2014-2015 school year. Students who are in grade 9, 10, or 11 in the 2013-2014 school year must be given a choice to graduate on the MHSP, RHSP, DAP, or Foundation High School Program. 5
Foundation High School Program 6
Foundation High School Program 7
Foundation High School Program Statutory Requirement Beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, a school district must ensure that each student, on entering ninth grade, indicates in writing an endorsement that the student intends to earn. A district must permit a student to choose, at any time, to earn an endorsement other than the endorsement the student previously indicated. 8
Foundation High School Program Statutory Requirement A student may graduate under the Foundation High School Program without earning an endorsement if, after the student s sophomore year (1) the student and the student s parent or person standing in parental relation are advised by a school counselor of the specific benefits of graduating from high school with one or more endorsements; and (2) the student s parent or person standing in parental relation files with a school counselor written permission, on a form adopted by the agency, allowing the student to graduate under the foundation high school program without earning an endorsement. 9
Foundation High School Program Statutory Requirement English Language Arts Mathematics Science Social Studies Four credits English I English II English III Advanced English Course Three credits Algebra I Geometry Advanced Mathematics Course Three credits Biology IPC or Advanced Science Course Advanced Science Course Three credits U.S. History U.S. Government (one-half credit) Economics (one-half credit) World Geography or World History or Combined World History/World Geography (course not developed yet) 10
Foundation Advanced Courses SBOE Rule Third Mathematics Credit * Mathematical Models with Applications AP Calculus BC * Mathematical Applications in AFNR AP Computer Science * Digital Electronics IB Mathematical Studies Standard Level (SL) * Robotics Programming and Design IB Mathematics SL Algebra II Precalculus AQR Independent Study in Math Discrete Mathematics for Problem Solving AP Statistics IB Mathematics Higher Level (HL) IB Further Mathematics HL Engineering Mathematics Statistics & Risk Management Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science locally developed math course or other activity [pursuant to TEC, 28.002(g-1)] AP Calculus AB Algebraic Reasoning (in development for implementation in 2015-2016) mathematics course endorsed by an IHE [pursuant to TEC, 28.025(b-5)] Statistics (in development for implementation in 2015-2016) 11
Endorsements Statutory Requirements A student may earn an endorsement by successfully completing the following: Curriculum requirements for the endorsement Four credits in mathematics Four credits in science Two additional elective credits 12
Endorsements Statutory Requirements Each school district must make available to high school students courses that allow a student to complete the curriculum requirements for at least one endorsement. A school district that offers only one endorsement curriculum must offer the multidisciplinary studies endorsement curriculum. A school district defines advanced courses and determines a coherent sequence of courses for an endorsement area, provided that prerequisites are followed. A course completed as part of the set of four courses needed to satisfy an endorsement requirement may also satisfy a requirement under the Foundation High School Program, including an elective requirement. 13
Endorsements Advanced Courses Algebra II Precalculus SBOE Rule Fourth Mathematics Credit to Earn an Endorsement Advanced Quantitative Reasoning Independent Study in Math Discrete Mathematics for Problem Solving AP Statistics AP Calculus AB AP Calculus BC AP Computer Science Math Models (for the 2014-2015 school year only) Algebraic Reasoning (in development for implementation in 2015-2016) IB Mathematical Studies Standard Level (SL) IB Mathematics SL IB Mathematics Higher Level (HL) IB Further Mathematics HL Engineering Mathematics Statistics & Risk Management Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science Locally developed math course or other activity [pursuant to TEC, 28.002(g-1)] Mathematics course endorsed by an IHE [pursuant to TEC, 28.025(b-5)] College Prep Math [pursuant to TEC, 28.014] Statistics (in development for implementation in 2015-2016) *Note: A course on this list may be taken either before or after one of the following courses: Mathematical Models with Applications, Mathematical Applications in Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources, Digital Electronics, Robotics Programming and Design. 14

The final course in the sequence must be selected from the STEM career cluster. 16
STEM Endorsement SBOE Rule (B) A coherent sequence of four credits in computer science selected from the following: Fundamentals of Computer Science Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science Computer Science I Digital Forensics Computer Science II Game Programming and Design Computer Science III Mobile Application Development AP Computer Science Robotics Programming and Design IB Computer Science, Standard Level IB Computer Science, Higher Level Independent Studies of Technology Applications 17
