On April 25,

recently-released technical assistance document on sample courses of study that
satisfy high school graduation requirements for a Standard Diploma. The document may be downloaded prior to the
broadcast at /administrators/superintendents_memos/2002/inf048a.pdf.
Viewers may also wish to review Superintendents Memorandum, Informational

This broadcast will be beneficial to school personnel who work with
middle and high school students in planning their four-year courses of study.
Suggestions are included on how to develop and monitor a course of study for
students that meets the content course requirements and requirements for
standard and verified credits.
The broadcast
will be a companion to, not a replacement of, an earlier DOE Hour on Standards of Accreditation (SOA)
Implications for Guidance Counselors that was broadcast in January 2002.
Further discussion will occur on the following topics that have been addressed
in recent Superintendents Memoranda.
