Healey releases new 'framework' of high school graduation requirements after voters nixed MCAS

Instead of a 10th grade MCAS exam, the proposed framework would include capstone projects or portfolios, financial literacy lessons, and end-of-course tests administered and scored by the state, among other steps. The new approach to testing would feature exams "that are not high-stakes, but are [on] the actual course you just took," Healey explained Monday. "This is about reimagining high school in Massachusetts and making sure that every student who leaves a Massachusetts high school leaves with the tools, the resources, the wherewithal to be as successful as they can possibly be," she told a crowd of students and educators at Dedham High School.
