Noteworthy Points from SBOE
Discussion
O Districts determine Coherent
Sequences
O Approximately 200 courses in 16
clusters are available—just need some
relationship
O Coherent Sequences for a student
may have courses from more than one
career cluster
O Reminder: last course in the sequence
determines the endorsement

Discussion
Discuss at your
table what
coherent
sequences
might look like
at your district

Brainstorm next steps
O What have you already done?
O What needs to be accomplished next?
O What needs to be included in public comment?
O Example: Ask for clarification of language regarding four
credits in each of the four foundation subject areas in the
Multidisciplinary Studies endorsement—Can courses count as
meeting foundation and endorsement requirements?
2. List needs/ideas
O What additional information do we need?
O How can we work together?
