Course articulation
Credit for middle grades algebra or geometry is one of the questions that teams discuss in articulation meetings between middle and high school content specialists (currently many middle grades students must repeat courses such as algebra or geometry since they do not receive high school credit needed for college applications). Other topics needing discussion include:
- Instructional materials articulation: Do the middle grades texts match those used at the high school to prepare students for the next step in learning?
- Articulated assessment: Refer to the following discussion.
- Standards-based skills: Do middle grades students have research skills required by ninth-grade teachers? Do they know how to follow guidelines for writing ninth-grade term papers?
- Homework expectations: Do middle grades teachers know enough about high school homework expectations to prepare students to meet them?
