ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA
This one approach to the Alabama High School Diploma removes the need for endorsements or the Alabama Occupational Diploma. The focus will be on the coursework taken that necessitates a clearly articulated and individualized four-year high school plan built for each student based on the results from the EXPLORE academic and career interest assessment and middle school coursework.

Career‐Ready Standards ‐ Courses of Study)
Through a clearly articulated and locally aligned K‐12 curriculum (Sample curricula found on ALEX and Alabama Insight)
Supported by aligned resources, support, and professional development (Sample lesson plans and supporting resources found on ALEX, differentiated support through ALSDE Regional Support Teams and ALSDE Initiatives, etc.)
