    Post: Issuing credits for non-standard based courses
    Posted by: John Newell on 9/12/09

    I work at a High School that has just had its curriculum
    evaluated. It has been revealed that our course curriculum
    does not meet Ohio standards. The teachers have began a
    massive work to develop curriculum that aligns with Ohio
    Standards and have been very successful in doing so.
    However, administration wants to continue to utilize our old
    courses (which are mostly computer based) for a growing
    number of our students. The teachers are very not only
    ethically concerned, but we are also concerned about the
    legal ramifications of using courses that have been proven
    to not align at all with the Ohio Standards. We are all
    certified teachers, but our school is not in the union.
    Should we refuse to issue the credits and push back to have
    administration issue the credits themselves? Should we have
    them provide written directives when they want us to assign
    the old courses to students? Any comments or help, or who
    to ask for info on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
