Abstract | The purpose of this portion of a project was to compare External High School Diploma (EHSDP) competencies at Waukesha County (Wisconsin) Technical Institute with minimum high school competency requirements in (1) local school districts and (2) selected states. Testing focused on basic skills of mathematics, reading, and writing. Minimum competency requirements for high school graduation, in those states which have developed, or are developing, such requirements, tended to emphasize competencies related to reading, writing, and mathematics. A few states have focused competency requeriments on life skills, such as consumer economics, health, government/citizenship, and occupational preparedness. In general, basic skill competencies tended to be similar to those communication and computation competencies contained within the EHSDP. Life skills competencies tended to be similar to EHSDP competencies related to occupational preparedness, scientific awareness, consumer awareness, social awareness, decision making, and health and safety. Areas of difference appeared in certain types of skills which have not been specifically identified in the EHSDP competencies. These included the following: write legibly in manuscript or cursive form; spell correctly; study effectively; and in the area of mathematics, utilize propability and statistics. EHSDP competencies contained within the area of aesthetic expression tended to be lacking in the majority of minimum competency requirements which were reviewed. (Author) |
