NEW INDIVIDUAL ARTS ASSESSMENT PATHWAY (IAAP)
Under the “4+1” pathway assessment option, students take and pass four required Regents and then choose to complete a rigorous art pathway to meet the fifth assessment requirement for graduation. The Individual Arts Assessment Pathway (IAAP) is a 4+1 graduation pathway option in which students complete a three-year sequence in the art and demonstrate, through a portfolio of original work, growth over time that meets the High School II Accomplished Performance Indicators in the New York State Learning Standards for the Arts. To learn more, talk to your guidance counselor or art teacher.
