To help students and parents understand an Honors course designation, the following guidelines have been established:
- An Honors course will cover required content standards in greater depth and may cover additional content standards when appropriate.
- An Honors course materials may be differentiated from the standard course materials to challenge students' thinking (supplemental materials when appropriate).
- An Honors courses will have differentiated assessments where students are expected to engage in tasks that display a greater depth of knowledge than a standard course.
- An Honors course should assess students on a rubric differentiated from the standard course rubric with expectations aligned toward a greater depth of knowledge (ie. DOK 3 and 4).
Please consult your counselor if you have any questions regarding Honors courses.
