EOCEP
What is the EOCEP?
The
Education Accountability Act of 1998 requires the development of
end-of-course examinations in gateway or benchmark courses. The program
is called End-of-Course-Examination Program (EOCEP). The examinations,
which count 20% of the students’ final grade in each gateway or
benchmark course, currently include Algebra 1/Math for the Technologies
2, English 1, Physical Science, US History and the Constitution, and
Biology 1/Applied Biology 2. Biology 1/Applied Biology 2 will count as
20% of the students' final grade in each respective course for the first
time during the fall/winter 2010-11 test administration. Beginning
with the 2010-11 school year, all students must have taken the Biology 1
EOCEP test by the end of their second year after their initial
enrollment in ninth grade.
