QR Supports Student Success

20

Proposed “a-g” Requirements

21

Pathways to Fulfill Requirement

• Science course• Elective course with quantitative

reasoning foundation• Traditional mathematics course

(beyond Alg. II or Integrated Math III)

• Select Career and Technical Education courses

• Dual Enrollment courses• Qualifying Elective Course

Examples:• Coding• Computer Science• Economics• Engineering• Personal Finance• Robotics• Sports Medicine• Veterinary Science

CSU Channel Islands

Policy would “Do No Harm”• Many PK-12 school districts have graduation requirements

that align with the CSU proposal

• Of the 1,435 high schools in California, only16 offer fewer than three qualifying courses. These are predominately small charter schools.

• If a student is not able to fulfill the new requirement due to lack or resources and/or course availability at the high school, an exemption would be provided.
