The Legislature passed House Bill 1308 creating a new performance-based graduation pathway option. Download the one-pager. View the web page.
The performance-based pathway allows students to show what they know and can do in real-world, hands-on ways that align with their individual goals for life after high school. This student-centered pathway is intended to be customizable, with the aim of being relevant and engaging to the student.
There is a lot of flexibility as the learning experience:
- May take a variety of forms
- Examples: project, practicum, work-related experience, community service, cultural activity
- May result in a variety of student work that can be evaluated
- Examples: performance, presentation, portfolio, report, film, exhibit
- May, or may not, be done as part of a class where the student also earns credit
The performance-based pathway is combinable with other the ELA and math pathway options, meaning the student can do one pathway in ELA and another pathway in math. For example, a student could pass the state assessment in ELA and then focus their performance-based pathway in math. Learn more about the upcoming rulemaking process around this pathway, tools, and ways to engage so far on the performance-based pathway web page.
