Discussion: 

--you must participate in the peer review (not pass)

--GPs based on growth, not proficiency (self-assess)

--required evidence of teacher and student-verified evidence

--complete a year satisfactorily in college, we can issue you a diploma, even if you didn't pass...

--prevalence of a teacher-verified piece.  Rigor, depth of complexity- teachers need to adhere to the criteria.  Rigor is commonly defined (p.5)

--teacher has to be certified- very specific certification.

--teacher verified high school level rigor. 

--special ed (p.8, c. 4) a qualified group of people can say they are growing....reasonable growth?

--Certificate vs. Diploma- defined on (p.2) . Certificate means that a student has made progress towards the proficiency standards

--p. 13, c.2 we can accept students bring evidence from CTE schools....it doesn't mean we have to certify the evidence.

Our purpose is to identify ambiguity, not to clarify.  

p.8, 3c.4 : districts will work with sending schools to evaluate the extent to which the transcripts meet the standard in the receiving school (Rae gave an example of World Language- student uses Rosetta Stone, transfers to a school with a teacher.) 

If you lack a certified teacher, can you certify a student proficiency (ex. World Language)?
