The Biology COE is a legislatively approved option to the state high school biology assessment. The COE is one way a student can meet the requirements for graduation through the Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA). A Biology COE is a set of exemplary work samples that represent what a student knows and can do with respect to the biology content standards for high school. These are the same skills and expectations assessed on the biology end of course exam (EOC). The COE is a performance assessment administered through the online COE system. The COE tasks consist of constructed response questions which require a student to actively demonstrate what he or she knows and can do. The COE, like the EOC, is administered under the direction and supervision of an educational professional.
