Notes from tonight’s meeting:

They are still in “building” phase - proposal won’t be presented until 2022

First draft to BOE 2022 
Crosswalk 2024-25
Full implementation 2025-26

Pilots for some new classes start in 2023

[b]School systems can build own courses and allow students to take in any grade (accelerated path) — **this has always been the case**[/b]

They blocked out grade levels from infographic to avoid confusion

ALL upper level classes are still offered 
Will support AP and IB as do now

Foundational Concepts &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; K-7
Essential Concepts I-II-III  &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; 8-A-G-A

Precalculus &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; Mathematical Analysis
Added Data Science II to the list

Rest of world thinks it’s weird to break out A-G-A; better to connect concepts

Example path of accelerated student (just an example - districts are not restricted to this):

So differential services in heterogeneous classrooms is no longer a thing for elementary students? [/quote]
