First HB5 Cohort Graduated in 2018!

HB 5 – What was in it?

• Endorsements chosen in 8th grade
• STEM, Business/Industry, Public Service, Arts/Humanities, Multi-Disciplinary
• Foundation High School Program
• Requires fewer credits than recommended/endorsements to graduate
• Endorsements largely require 4+credits of Math/Science
• Changes to Accountability for Schools/Districts
• Goal of better aligning high school content with what comes next

Call to Learning

How do we better support students in all endorsements? What do we need to know or do?

23

Discussion topics:

• What affect does the math requirement have on student pathways?
• Counseling towards endorsements vs. endorsement self-select based on program of study;

heavy caseload for counselors, maybe career counseling in groups?

• Alignment between endorsement earned in high school and meaning of endorsement at

college level. Some colleges only looking at course completion.

• Implementation differs across districts: some select endorsements in 6th grade, others 8th
• What does it mean to graduate without selecting an endorsement?
• Why are so many earning a multi-disciplinary endorsement?
• Students are really making pathway decisions much sooner than 8th grade; important to

explore career options with students and parents early

Community Conversations

Pathways to Prosperity: What is needed for a successful career?

• Revealed 3 Main Themes
• Better communications needed
• Support success of all students & connect to resources
• Expand partnerships: schools, businesses, community groups
• Delegates Summit: Change Agents & Champions of Change
• Awareness Campaign for adult influencers critical
• Students and families need Resource Connections
• Also supports from “army of mentors”
• Stars Now Aligned around initiatives; need umbrella communications

To meet the needs of our region in a globally competitive economy

• Overall, too few students
• Graduate high school
• Go to higher ed, and
• Get a post-secondary credential

Thank you!
