HB5 Panel Discussion on HB5 at RICE with REEP

ATTENTION EDUCATORS!

Rice University's REEP Program invites you to join them at the Jones Graduate School of Business for a panel discussion on House Bill 5

During the 2013 legislative session, House Bill 5 (HB 5) was passed, ushering in new guidelines for graduation requirements and accountability. In early 2014, the State Board of Education formalized the implementation rules early for the incoming fall freshman class. Educators will be charged with managing the old requirements and building processes and courses for the new requirements.

A panel of experts will share insights on what is currently in place and, with attention to creating necessary conditions for success, what is critical to consider during the planning and implementation phases of HB 5. Topics will include, but are not limited to:
  • What are the graduation requirements?
  • How will highly selective universities respond to various options?
  • How do local community colleges support both students and educators?
  • What types of plans are already in place and working?
  • How does local philanthropy view the community needs and support the work?
A side-by-side comparison of current graduation requirements and HB 5 requirements to be implemented beginning in 2014-2015 may be seen at: http://bit.ly/1gyIewE.
