[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP JAVA counts as the tech credit according MSDE who set the requirement:

https://marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Documents/CTE/TE/Advanced%20Technology%20Education%20Memo%206-18-21%20(2).pdf

AP Java is AP Comp Sci A

It changed a few years ago.[/quote]

Oh I’m really upset about this.  I have two kids who took comp sci principals (which is a tremendously stupid class for anyone with CS knowledge) solely to get the tech credit.  One maybe was before the change but the other was just last year.  It really drives me nuts that McPS is not more transparent about this stuff.  They constantly send emails and texts with worthless information but not information like this that would actually be helpful!  [/quote]

I wouldn't assume that MSDE's preapproved list necessarily means that MCPS's graduation requirements have been changed. The current year's course bulletin still says these are the courses that fulfill the tech credit:

Foundations of Technology A/B
Foundations of Computer Science A/B
Foundations of Engineering & Technology A/B
Introduction to Engineering Design A/B
AP Computer Science Principles, TE A/B
IB Computer Science 1, TE A/B
Advanced Design Applications
Advanced Technological Applications
Engineering Design A/B

What is IB Comp Sci? Which schools offer this course? RM HS? Definitely not all.[/quote]

I'd assume just the 8 IB high schools.[/quote]

Not an option at BCC.[/quote]

Why isn't it offered at all the schools?[/quote]
