Absolutes During the Transition
Teach to the standards for each of the required subjects (Alabama College- and Career-Ready Standards - Courses of Study)
Through a clearly articulated and locally aligned K-12 curriculum (Sample curricula found on
ALEX and Alabama Insight) Supported by aligned resources, support, and professional development (Sample lesson
plans and supporting resources found on ALEX, differentiated support through ALSDE Regional Support Teams and ALSDE Initiatives, etc.)
Monitored regularly through formative, interim/benchmark assessments to inform the
effectiveness of the instruction and continued learning needs of individuals and groups of students (GlobalScholar, QualityCore Benchmarks, and other locally determined assessments)
With a goal that each student graduates from high school with the knowledge and skills to
succeed in post-high school education and the workforce without the need for remediation as evidenced by multiple measures achieved through multiple pathways to meet the graduation requirements set for students in Alabama. (Alabama High School Graduation Requirements/Diploma) 5

• Core content area courses for students with disabilities can be General Education courses, Essentials/Life Skills courses, or a combination of both.
• Movement between the General Education pathway and the Essentials/Life Skills pathway is allowed.
• Students with significant cognitive disabilities who meet the criteria for the Alabama Alternate Assessment are eligible for the Alternate Achievement Standards (AAS) pathway.
Multiple Pathways to the Same End
![Page 34: Curriculum and Instruction Quarterly Meetings](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568168a5550346895ddf3cd2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Formerly known as Alabama Occupational Diploma (AOD) courses
• LEAs are required to offer Essentials/Life Skills courses• Must be taught by a highly qualified content area
teacher• May be taught within a general education course (with
two rosters) or as a stand-alone course • If taught within a general education course, the
instruction must be differentiated for the different courses
Essentials/Life Skills
![Page 35: Curriculum and Instruction Quarterly Meetings](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568168a5550346895ddf3cd2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Students with and without disabilities may take Essentials/Life Skills courses.
• Not appropriate for students who are planning to attend a four-year college.
• Not accepted by four-year colleges or the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
• Students taking these courses may be eligible to attend a community college if they meet the institution’s admissions requirements and have the required ACT score.
• It is important for each student to pursue the course work that is appropriate for his or her desired post school outcome.
• Schools must work very closely with students and parents to ensure there is no confusion about the limitations of certain course work and/or pathways.
Essentials/Life Skills
![Page 36: Curriculum and Instruction Quarterly Meetings](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568168a5550346895ddf3cd2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• According to the IDEA students with disabilities who have not earned a regular high school diploma are entitled to services up to age 21.
• Therefore, the awarding of the Alabama High School Diploma must be deferred for students with disabilities who will remain in school until age 21.
• It is imperative the IEP Team work with the student and his or her parent(s) to determine the anticipated date of exit for each student with a disability.
Graduation and Students with Disabilities
![Page 37: Curriculum and Instruction Quarterly Meetings](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568168a5550346895ddf3cd2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Awarding the Alabama High School Diploma prematurely would deny a student his or her right to receive services until age 21 and would be considered a denial of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).
• Graduating with an Alabama High School Diploma is considered a change of placement for a student with a disability. The Notice of Intent Regarding Special Education Services must be used to document the proposed change of placement (graduation) to ensure that the student and parent(s) have been fully informed of the proposed termination of services.
Graduation and Students with Disabilities
![Page 38: Curriculum and Instruction Quarterly Meetings](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568168a5550346895ddf3cd2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• If they choose, students who stay in school until age 21 must be allowed to participate in graduation activities with their class. The LEA determines whether the student is given a blank sleeve or a locally developed certificate during the ceremony with their class, but they should not be awarded the diploma until the year of their agreed upon date of exit.
• It is clear LEAs are concerned about the effect deferring the diploma could have on graduation rate.
• The ALSDE is working on a plan to allow an LEA to get credit for students who stay until age 21 or at least identify a way to minimize the effect of deferring the diploma.
