Endorsements
- If more than one endorsement is listed for a Program of Study, you can choose which endorsement
- Example: if a student does not meet the core requirements for a STEM endorsement, and Business and Industry is listed as an option, then the student could get the Business and Industry Endorsement
- Existing endorsement rules in effect, but this will be an additional avenue; another bullet within the endorsement wording
- See POS and Endorsement Crosswalk linked above

IBMs Free Open P-Tech Platform
IBM recently developed a free Open P-Tech platform for schools to use for free with their students. The Open P-Tech platform has several curated learning tracks that lead to various badges that students can earn.
Many of the learning tracks are geared toward students who are interested in technology fields. For students who are not interested in technology, there is a professional skills and mindfulness learning track that I am using for some health science curriculum that I am writing.
If you know of any schools that would be interested in using this platform, IBM has offered to provide them with training. School districts can reach out to Cliff Archey carchey@us.ibm.com or Erick Espinoza erick.espinoza@ibm.com
IBM is also very invested in helping develop quality P-Tech programs as part of the corporate responsibility mission. If any schools need assistance with that, they can reach out to Sherry Wynn sherry.wynn@ibm.com
