SHARED WISDOM
- In November 2011, the State Board of Education approved the inclusion of a “Quantitative Reasoning” requirement to all diploma types, among other changes. A quantitative reasoning course is a high school course that advances a student’s ability to apply mathematics in real-world situations and contexts and deepens a student’s understanding of high school mathematics standards.
- Indiana schools can submit a nonstandard course waiver to offer courses that are not found in the approved course list. Schools must have an approved nonstandard course waiver prior to offering a course or awarding credit for a course that is not in the state approved course titles and descriptions document.
- Integrated Chemistry Physics does qualify as a quantitative reasoning course. (Posted on Counselor Talk by Jennifer Jensen, Assistant Director for Curriculum & Instruction, Indiana Department of Education-December 2018)
