Understanding Personal Curriculum and Graduation
Calendar: Community Events
As youth with disabilities move through school, we need to think about what comes next. This is called post-secondary transition planning. Transition is the individualized action plan that addresses the skills, programs, and opportunities needed for the student to be successful after their school career ends.
Parents of middle and high school students with an IEP have four webinar opportunities to explore different aspects of transition in October. Learn more about the tools, resources, and support needed to navigate a successful transition from school to adult life. October 9 - Understanding Personal Curriculum and Graduation Learn about the Personal Curriculum option that allows for certain modifications to the state's high school graduation requirements. https://tinyurl.com/4fu6vfew UNDERSTANDING PERSONAL CURRICULUM AND GRADUATION WITH RASHELL BOWERMAN, Michigan Dept of Education OCTOBER 9, 2025 4:00PM-6:00PM
High school graduation is a big step into the start of adult life. To earn a diploma students must earn the 18 Michigan Merit Curriculum (MMC) credits plus meet any additional district requirements. However, there is flexibility to modify the MMC when needed.
School teams can use a student’s Educational Development Plan, Individualized Education Program, and Transition Plan to individualize their course of study based on the student’s post-school plans. By using a Personal Curriculum (PC) schools can waive MMC credits. This allows students to personalize their schedule and make the most of their high school years.
This webinar will: - Define the 18 required MMC credits
- Explain the modifications that are allowed through a PC
- Provide guidance on how to make MMC requests
- Include considerations for students with an IEP
Scenarios will be shared to see how MMC decisions are made for different students
Who should attend? Families with middle and high school aged children, school staff, and other members of the community who support these students
Register at: https://tinyurl.com/4fu6vfew
If you require accommodations or materials in an alternative format, please let us know two weeks before the workshop. |
