Beginning in 1983, three educational reforms were undertaken in Pennsylvania to revise high school graduation requirements, test for remedial needs, and set higher standards for teachers and administrators. Revision of graduation requirements involved state and local education officials, professional organizations, and the state legislature. New regulations were more rigorous in number of courses required for graduation. A testing program to identify students needing remedial services used multiple-choice tests in reading and mathematics given annually to all students in grades three, five, and eight. Students scoring below the cut-score established by the Pennsylvania Department of Education were required to participate in remedial services provided by public school districts or intermediate units. State legislation and Board of Education regulations combined to produce an operational program and ongoing funding. Efforts to set higher standards for teachers and administrators included testing before certification and tuition assistance to students committed to teaching mathematics and science in Pennsylvania. Appendices include goals for quality education and the revised curriculum regulations containing high school graduation requirements and objectives for meeting the state's educational goals. (LFL)
