How to Use Course Groups
The following are examples of how Course Groups can be used:
Specific Course Requirement
All students must take Algebra I in a school with an A/B schedule structure. In this instance, the Course Group could be called Algebra 1 and would include Algebra I A (which meets on A Days) and Algebra I B (which meets on B days). The requirement to take Algebra I would be met by the student taking either of these classes.
The same would be true, for example, for a quarter-long course with instances each quarter. Students could take an Art course in any quarter to meet the Art requirement, so the Art Course Group would include courses in each quarter.
Equivalent Courses
In this example, 8th Grade students are required to take a semester of Geometry. However, a semester of Applied Integrated Geometry would also meet this requirement. So the 8th Grade Math Course Group would include Geometry and Applied Integrated Geometry.
General Requirements
To graduate, students are required to take a Language class, either Spanish, French or German. The Language Course Group would include all of these languages that meet the language course requirement.
