Feedback for the NYSED Blue Ribbon Commission on Graduation Requirements

1/27/2023

 
Colleagues,
​
NYSED's Blue-Ribbon Commission on Graduation Requirements has moved up the timeline for collecting input from dateholders to July 2023 from July 2024.  If you would like to share your feelings on graduation requirements, please read the following and click on the Thought Exchange link.

In Solidarity,
RobThe New York State Education Department (NYSED) is engaging education stakeholders as they convene a Blue Ribbon Commission to take a look at graduation requirements for New York state students.  As you will recall, we shared the first set of questions from SED several weeks ago – the Commission has now posted additional questions for which they are looking for feedback.
NYSUT’s representative to the Commission, Jo James, shared with us the Thought Exchange.  NYSED is also engaging educators via social media.
 Please take a moment to provide your thoughts with SED and feel free to share this Thought Exchange with your colleagues.
 SED is asking educators to consider these questions

  • What opportunities, experiences, and courses should be available to students in High School that align with their needs, dreams, and career exploration? Which of those should be mandatory?
 Thought exchange link: https://tejoin.com/scroll/644270582
The deadline to provide feedback via the Thought Exchange is February 2nd.
