Multiple Pathways

The New York State Board of Regents approved regulations establishing multiple, comparably rigorous assessment pathways to graduation for all students.  Multiple pathways recognize the importance of engaging students in rigorous and relevant academic programs.  The recently approved regulations recognize students’ interests in the Arts, Biliteracy, Career/Technical Education, Humanities and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by allowing an approved pathway assessment to meet the students’ graduation requirements.
