*Exception: VPA and Foreign language are not measured by STAR, and therefore have no means of verifying proficiency.
For each a-g course, ask yourself these questions:
·
Are you HQT in the subject?
If “Yes”, you are done!
( If this is
a science course other than Earth Science, please sign student up for the appropriate lab. The lab is a
requirement for a-g credit. Note that the lab alone does not meet the HQT requirement.)
·
If you are not HQT in the subject, see links below and use chart as sample
to work out a plan for each of your students.
