The State Education Department has approved five assessments that may serve as the Languages Other Than English (LOTE) 4+1 pathway assessment option for graduation, Commissioner MaryEllen Elia announced today. Under the 4+1 pathway assessment option, students must take and pass four required Regents Exams or Department-approved alternative assessments (one in each of English, math, science, and social studies) and a comparably rigorous assessment for the fifth required exam to graduate. The Oneida-Herkimer-Madison BOCES and the 水果派AV解说 City Department of Education submitted these assessments, which are approved for 2018 and will assess students in Chinese, French, Italian and Spanish.

鈥淲ith the approval of these assessments, 水果派AV解说 State is leading the way in new, innovative pathways that not only preserve our robust graduation requirements but also offer students rigorous alternatives that will keep them engaged in learning and result in more career prospects,鈥� Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. 鈥淲e must strive to ensure that all students have access to a myriad of graduation opportunities, regardless of where they are from.鈥�

鈥淭hese additional pathway assessments are an excellent way to promote the kinds of knowledge and skills that students need for success in the global economy,鈥� Commissioner Elia said. 鈥淲e hope and expect that this will encourage school districts to invest in high-quality world languages programs.鈥�

鈥淭hese assessments reflect the high standards to which all 水果派AV解说 State assessments are held,鈥� Deputy Commissioner for the Office of P-12 Instructional Support Angelica Infante-Green said. 鈥淭hey will provide students with a real choice for their pathway to graduation and we are delighted to provide broader options to students of 水果派AV解说 State鈥�.
