The regulations were approved as a permanent rule at the June Regents meeting are applicable to all students who are otherwise eligible to graduate in June 2016 and thereafter  \nUnder the new “4+CDOS” pathway option, beginning June 2016 and thereafter, a student may graduate with a high school diploma if the student meets the graduation course and credit requirements established in section 100.5 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education; passes 1 four required Regents Exams or Departmentapproved alternative assessments (one in each of the following subjects: English, mathematics, science, and social studies); and meets the requirements to earn the New York State (NYS) CDOS Commencement Credential.  \nIn addition, the regulations were revised to expand the opportunity to all students2 to earn the NYS CDOS commencement credential. Previously, only students with disabilities could exit school with a NYS CDOS Commencement Credential as a supplement to a regular high school diploma. Students who are unable to earn a regular diploma may graduate with the NYS CDOS Commencement Credential as their  \n1 Safety net provisions and appeal options would apply.  \n2 Except for students with severe disabilities who are eligible for the New York State Alternate Assessment who would exit with the Skills and Achievement Commencement Credential. Guidance on the Skills and Achievement Commencement Credential may be found at [http://www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/publications/SACCmemo.htm](http://www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/publications/SACCmemo.htm).  \nonly exiting credential.3 A copy of the full text of the amendment may be found at [http://www.regents.nysed.gov/common/regents/files/316p12a1.pdf](http://www.regents.nysed.gov/common/regents/files/316p12a1.pdf.)[.](http://www.regents.nysed.gov/common/regents/files/316p12a1.pdf.)  \nThese regulations recognize the importance of extensive research that supports multiple pathways to graduation that connect both work and learning4 . In addition, workbased learning has become a focus of national discussion to prepare “career and college ready” graduates5. Explicit instruction in career development and work-based learning is beneficial to all students as it focuses on a student’s ability to apply classroom learning in the real world, engages them by using authentic tasks, and teaches them employability skills. The CDOS graduation pathway emphasizes the importance of this instruction for schools and helps to focus student commitment to career exploration and development, while ensuring students have appropriate opportunities to earn a high school diploma.  \nNYS CDOS COMMENCEMENT CREDENTIAL: REQUIREMENTS  \nThe NYS CDOS Commencement Credential is a credential recognized by the NYS Board of Regents that certifies a student has the standards-based knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level employment. The requirements to earn the credential were developed consistent with research and the guiding principles established by the Board of Regents. The requirements are rigorous in that the student must receive instruction that supports the achievement of the CDOS learning standards through access to career and technical education (CTE) coursework and have opportunities to engage in school supervised work-based learning experiences, ei","cbCaispr69sySVgP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaispr69sySVgP","pdf",420453,24,"English","# Field Advisory\n## Purpose and “4+CDOS” Graduation Pathway Option\n## NYS CDOS Commencement Credential: Requirements\n## Option 1 Requirements","[{\"question\":\"What is the “4+CDOS” graduation pathway option?\",\"answer\":\"Beginning June 2016, a student may graduate with a high school diploma by meeting graduation course and credit requirements, passing four required Regents Exams (or approved alternatives) across English, mathematics, science, and social studies, and earning the NYS CDOS Commencement Credential.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the NYS CDOS Commencement Credential intended to certify?\",\"answer\":\"The NYS CDOS Commencement Credential certifies that a student has standards-based knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level employment, based on the Board of Regents’ guiding principles and research-backed requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of learning experiences are required to earn the credential?\",\"answer\":\"Requirements include instruction supporting CDOS learning standards through access to career and technical education (CTE) coursework, opportunities for school-supervised work-based learning in school and/or the community, and participation in career planning and preparation with an employability profile.\"}]","Career Development Occupational Studies Graduation Pathway Option - Field Advisory | PDF",1790053145]
