I. COURSE OVERVIEW
HSPA 10TH is a required course for students who demonstrate a need for the reinforcement of the basic skills
concepts required to pass the 11th grade High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA 11). The objective of the
course is to provide the students with the necessary prerequisite skills unique to the HSPA curriculum. The
student will work on skills that will enable him/her to gain confidence in working with word problems, to move
from concrete to abstract presentation of problems, and to develop and apply estimation skills. This course will
focus on preparing students in the cluster identified by the GEPA. This course will be taken in addition to the
