*Exception:  VPA and Foreign language are not measured by STAR, and therefore have no means of verifying proficiency.  Parent denied on these courses must be approved by the Executive director.

 

  Once HQT is set up for these general courses, go to "Follow these steps for every student with an HQT".

 

 

 

 

  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.
