TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
Understanding Common Terms in Career and Technical Education (CTE)
CTE
Career and technical education programs offer a sequence of courses that provides students with coherent and rigorous content. CTE content is aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare for further education and careers in current or emerging professions.
Program of Study
Perkins V describes a program of study as a coordinated, non duplicative sequence of academic and technical content at the secondary and postsecondary level that:
● Incorporates challenging state academic standards
● Addresses academic, technical, and employability skills
● Aligns with the needs of industries in the state, regional, and/or local economy
● Progresses in specificity, beginning with all aspects of industry and leading to more occupation
● Specific instruction
● Has multiple entry and exit points that incorporate credentialing
● Culminates in the attainment of a recognized postsecondary credential
Endorsement
Endorsements consist of a related series of courses that are grouped together by interest or skill set. They provide students with in-depth knowledge of a subject area. Students must select an endorsement* in the ninth grade. Students earn an endorsement by completing the curriculum requirements for the endorsement, including 4th credit of math and science and 2 additional elective credits.
IBC
An industry-based certification (IBC) is a specific type of credential that validates that an individual possesses certain industry specific skills related to a career cluster or occupation and is measured against a set of accepted industry standards. TEA adopted by rule (19 TAC 74.1003) a set of requirements and process to formally approve industry-based certifications. This is a high-level summary of those requirements:
1. Defined as a certification – not just a certificate of course completion, but demonstration that skills were obtained and valid for a specific period of time (e.g., not the driver education course, but the drivers’ license exam)
2. Industry recognized and valued – employer surveys indicate the certification is given significant consideration for hiring and wages
3. Attainable by a high school student – a 17 or 18 year old could reasonably earn it by graduation
4. Portable – regionally, to multiple employers, or to more advanced postsecondary or apprentice work
5. Certifying Entity – certifications are issued independent of course completion to validate skills (e.g., DPS as the entity that validates passage of the drivers license exams)
