Building a High School Credit
A high school credit is earned after completion of a defined course of study in a subject area. With all curriculum planning, there are strategies that are helpful. Refer to the Curriculum Building section of this website for these strategies. Additionally, use the ESD High School Graduation planning sheet, as your guide to understanding what subjects are required in a given year.
Once you have your curriculum organized, you must enter it into the WSLP Database. A WSLP- Written Student Learning Plan is a document that reflects the students plan for his or her learning, how the success will be evaluated, resources used, and monthly entries of the progress made .
For help in understanding what high school credits look like in the various subject areas, our Certificated Teachers have created Sample High School credit Guides for your reference.
These samples are in alignment with district standards for high school credit:
There are also many additional resources may prove helpful, such as:
- Curriculum guides from other high schools
