INDIANAPOLIS This summer, thousands of Hoosier high school students will have the opportunity to accelerate the completion of a high-demand credential or one year of college credit through a new partnership between the State of Indiana, Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University.
“As we work to build intentional, future-focused pathways for all, this initiative will help jumpstart a world of opportunity for eligible students,” Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana Secretary of Education said.
The initiative called Crossing the Finish Line will accelerate learning for thousands of high school juniors and seniors. It is available for students who are close to completing a high-demand credential or the Indiana College Core, which is a 30-credit hour block of general education college-level courses that transfers to any public higher education institutions across Indiana.

‘It’s very unfair’: NYC teachers blast in-person requirement for AP World Language exams Michael Elsen-Rooney, New York Daily News
New York City foreign language teachers are furious that their star students might miss the all-important Advanced Placement World Language exams because of an “unfair” policy requiring the test to be taken in person.
Roughly 700 students across the city are scheduled to take an AP World Language test this spring. The exam is the culmination of a rigorous yearlong class, and can award credits that allow students to skip introductory college courses and save money.
But unlike other Advanced Placement subjects which offer students an online test they can take from home, the World Language exams can only be taken in person a deal-breaker for many families who are still worried about COVID-19, teachers said.
