GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING The 1996-2000 Long Range Plan of the State Board of Education for Public School Education includes the State Board of Education's goal to provide all Texas students with equal access to developmental guidance and counseling. The Texas Education Code, Chapter 21.356, requires the commissioner of education to develop and periodically update a counselor job description in consultation with the state guidance association. In 1998, TEA published A Model Developmental Guidance and Counseling Program for Texas Public Schools . The guide addresses achieving program balance by allocating resources to four components of developmental guidance and counseling: Guidance Curriculum - planned lessons covering seven areas including self-confidence development, motivation to achieve, decision-making and problem-solving skills and responsible behavior. School counselors can teach all or some of the curriculum through direct instruction or can consult with teachers who integrate the curriculum into the classroom;

Reports from New York City and Texas reveal how reliance on high-stakes testing to raise standards of education is compounding the effects of the underfunding of public schools. In the most recent revelation, the New York Times A class-action lawsuit filed against the New York City Department of Education cites examples of these pushouts, including a special-education student who was told that services were no longer available, an injured student who was unable to climb stairs, and an 18-year-old student who was held back due to repeatedly failing the state-mandated Regents exam in English. Many of these students were told they had no option to stay in school. Students with few of the credits needed toward graduation when they turn 17 are told they can no longer be enrolled, even though state law gives them the right to remain in a regular high school until they are 21. Many of these students are told they must get the less-valued, out-of-school General Equivalency Diploma (GED). Adult education centers that give tutoring for the GED have reported a large increase in the number of 16- to 18-year-olds who are signing up.

HOME NEWS OBITUARIES BUSINESS NEWS ... TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS STORY! N ews Exams not broad enough? Assessing students not easy with one-size-fits-all tests, some educators say This is the second of two articles looking at the New York State Regents exams. By STEPHEN BARTLETT, Staff Writer PLATTSBURGH — New York state has administered Regents exams in high schools since the 1800s. "That’s a long history," said Peru Central School Superintendent A. Paul Scott. "Without them, we wouldn’t have the foundation we have today." But he feels schools need a broader set of options to assess students and programs. This year’s seniors are the first who must pass five Regents exams to graduate, and in two years the required passing score increases from 55 to 65. That has some educators, locally and statewide, sounding the alarm. A local grassroots organization — Higher Potential for Education, or HOPE — opposes standardized tests such as Regents exams as the sole assessment of student progress. The educators, parents and community members who make up the group say such tests restrict classroom creativity, place undo stress on students and ignore the various areas that children excel in.

Getting The Grades Planning Your Future Activities High School Follies From high school to college and beyond, your path to success begins here. The Basic Requirements In order to get into college, there are specific curriculum requirements you must meet. At a minimum, most colleges require: 4 years of English 3 years of math, including algebra II and geometry 3 years of history or social science 2 years of laboratory science 2 years of a foreign language Curriculum Colleges want to see that you've challenged yourself. Most competitive schools would prefer a B in a college-level history class than an A in a regular one. But the key is to know yourself. Don't take on too much. If your grades are stronger in certain subject areas, then that's where you should take higher-level classes. For example, if you're an ace at Spanish, consider taking the Advanced Placement (AP) course. At the end of the school year, if you score high enough on the AP test, you could place out of a semester of a college language requirement. But if language is not your strong suit, just do your best at your grade level. Achievement Colleges are interested in your class rank and grade point average (GPA). Striving to make the honor roll at your high school is always a good move. But, if you rank at the top of your class, and didn't take tough courses, colleges will take note of that. They want to make sure you've got what it takes to succeed in college.

NEWS: Statistics raise questions about GED by Faran Sikandar , Sikandar attends Northgate High School. July 13, 2004 07:35 PM Historically the General Equivalency Diploma (GED) has been a safety net for at-risk students. But a spike in the number of students receiving GEDs has caused speculation that schools may be pushing out students in order to improve their own scholastic standing. A May 15, 2004 New York Times article “More Youths Opt for GED Tests, Skirting the Hurdle of High School,” reported that the number of high school students enrolled in GED programs has skyrocketed in recent years, with high school students earning 49 percent of them. Students who may not have enough credits to graduate by their fourth year in high school, slow learners and those who are often absent from classes are among those who are redirected to alternative education programs such as the GED. Eighty-five percent of California’s public school students are required to take a standardized test in order to graduate. By filtering out students who do not attend classes regularly and who would not do well on those tests, schools would improve attendance, performance and therefore funding as well. Public schools receive their primary funding based on students’ average daily attendance (ADA) as well as their standardized test scores.

Do programs have to choose just one of the standardized tests or can they choose among those tests depending upon the needs of individual students? Answer: Programs may use a combination of tests within their program as long as only one test instrument is used consistently with an individual student. Exceptions to using just one test might be using the WRAT 3 or Slosson with low level students. (See the Assessment Policy for guidance on using the WRAT 3 or Slosson.) 2. Are programs still permitted to give students tests that do not appear on the State approved list? Answer: Yes, however, they should be administered in addition to the state standardized assessments listed within the assessment policy and not in lieu of those tests. 3. Can I use the Uniform Portfolio to place students? Answer: No. You would not have any data to make a placement determination. UPS is only used to document student progress and advancement, not initial placement in an educational functioning level.
