Courses are Individual Education Plan (IEP) driven and may or may not be used as credit towards graduation.

 

Services students may receive to support success in the general education curriculum include:

1. Indirect support (plug-in) – special staff in the general education classroom to assist the student

2. Indirect support – special educator serves as consultant to the student and teacher in the general education classroom

3. Direct assistance (pull-out) – students receive direct assistance through a non-credited course

​

Effective August 2019, students with an IEP receiving special education services and who are on a certificate track as determined by their case conference committee, will be expected to complete 40 units or credits or a combination in order to complete the new requirements for a certificate of completion.  For those students on a certificate track, Applied Courses that are connected to Indiana’s alternate standards are provided to meet this new requirement for those students who will enter high school in August 2019.  This new requirement does not apply to students already working toward a certificate of completion.  In addition, the Applied Courses are only applicable for students on a certificate of completion track and not appropriate for students earning a high school diploma.  The Applied Courses are modified courses where units will be earned; credits cannot be earned for Applied Courses.  For example, Applied Algebra I is a modified course and does not include the same content as regular Algebra I and therefore does not meet the requirements for a high school diploma.  However, it does meet the requirement for a unit.  Descriptions of the Applied Courses can be found under "Applied Courses" in this course description book. 

 

High expectations for students on a certificate track will enable students with more significant cognitive disabilities to be exposed to a rigorous curriculum with an emphasis on academic exposure and developing skills for post-secondary opportunities.  If you have specific questions about the Applied Courses and new certificate of completion requirements please contact your child’s special education teacher of record (TOR) or his/her guidance counselor.
