The Indiana Department of Education unveiled its second draft this morning at the State Board of Education meeting.
Instead of two diploma options to replace the current Core 40 diploma, the state is now proposing one Indiana diploma with an option for students to earn two tiers of readiness seals.
The base diploma would require a student to earn 42 credits.
Students can also choose to earn Readiness-Seals indicating they have taken courses, completed competencies, earned credentials, met attendance goals, or completed work-based learning opportunities that align with enrollment, employment or enlistment & service.
Seals for attendance/enrollment? I thought these were the people who were against so called “participation trophies”. Guess we need to make sure they’re ready to come to the office every day so we can waste people’s time and money instead of offering remote work.
