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)

Human Growth and Development is an examination of human development across the lifespan with emphasis on research, theoretical perspectives, and common physical, cognitive, emotional, and social developmental milestones. The course covers material that is generally taught in a postsecondary, onesemester introductory course in developmental psychology or human development.

Instructional Practices is a field-based (practicum) internship that provides students with background knowledge of child and adolescent development as well as principles of effective teaching and training practices. Students work under the joint direction and supervision of both a teacher with knowledge of early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence education and exemplary educators or trainers in direct instructional roles with elementary-, middle school-, and high school-aged students. Students learn to plan and direct individualized instruction and group activities, prepare instructional materials, develop materials for educational environments, assist with record keeping, and complete other responsibilities of teachers, trainers, paraprofessionals, or other educational personnel.

The partnership between Community ISD and Collin College will allow students who successfully complete this program to earn a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science Degree from Collin College upon graduation.

Current 9th and 10th grade students that are interested in the Associate Degree Program, and their parents, must attend an informational meeting and sign and submit an Associate Degree Contract in order to participate. If a parent and student is unable to attend the informational meeting then they will need to schedule an appointment with the Academic Advisor. The program details, application process, and Collin College requirements for successfully completing an Associate Degree Program will be shared during the meeting and within the contract.

Participation in the Associate Degree Program is a time consuming commitment. Students should spend approximately 2-3 hours of study time for each hour that they spend in class and should keep this in mind when planning time outside of class to complete school work, participate in extracurricular activities, and balance family/personal time and responsibilities. Courses in the Associate Degree Program may have time conflicts with AP, Honors, or CTE courses. They may also conflict with courses such as Band, Debate, and Choir. While Community High School and Advanced Academic staff will do everything possible to accommodate student schedule choice as much as possible, there may be situations in which students may have to choose between courses and/or programs. Students may not take online courses unless they are offered through the ISD or a student has received approval from the school in advance. If a course is offered at Community in person, the school will not approve a student to take an online version of that course unless the course offered in person is full. This is done to protect the courses offered in person during the semester from cancellation due to low enrollment.

Students not enrolled in the Associate Degree Program can begin taking Dual Credit courses in 10th and/or 11th grade with the potential to become “core complete” by graduation. Core academic courses are general education courses required for any student who plans to pursue a traditional associate or baccalaureate degree in Texas. The required components of the core curriculum are courses in communication; mathematics; life and physical science; language, philosophy and culture; creative arts; American history; government/political science; and social and behavioral sciences. Students who complete the entire 42 hour core are considered Core Complete. This designation is placed on their transcript and all state schools in Texas are required to accept their completed core.
