CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM PHILOSOPHY
All students must become technologically literate and be prepared for the changing face of America’s workplace. Increased technical and content knowledge skills and workplace competency offer higher levels of personal fulfillment to individuals, enhance the capability of students to hold meaningful and productive jobs, encourage students’ ability to think logically and creatively, and helps us as a society to remain globally competitive.
To ensure technological literacy and workplace competency, this curriculum represents a program of articulation sequential experiences that prepare students for successful participation in community, family, post-secondary education and careers. The curriculum is based upon the belief that in order for students to achieve success they must develop future career and life plans, while engaging in relevant, authentic problem-solving and applications. They must be able to define their career and life roles and interact effectively with others. The curriculum is designed to be integrated, where appropriate, and includes a variety of assessment techniques that include traditional assessments, performance assessments and standardized assessments.
STANDARDSAND COMPETENCIES
The Career & Technical Education standards are a composite of what students should know and be able to do by the time they leave high school. The four standards were developed by the Career & Technical Education committee after an extensive review of local, state and national trends. These standards reflect the MCCC Vision and Mission document. The Career & Technical Education Curriculum includes competencies for each high school course. These competencies, discrete elements of knowledge and/or skills which students are expected to learn in a specific course, are organized according to the four Career & Technical Education standards.
Standard # 1 – Technical Skills and Content Knowledge
Students acquire and demonstrate current knowledge and skills leading to an occupation.
Standard #2 – Career and Life Planning
Students develop self-knowledge, explore different educational, career, and life options available, and design and implement educational, career, and life plans.
Standard #3 – Skills for Life and Work
Students acquire and apply the necessary skills that will help them become successful, productive citizens. Workplace skills must build upon basic academic skills; and higher order thinking skills and personal qualities must be practiced in an environment that accurately represents the realities of today’s workplace.
Standard #4 – Structure of Organizations and Work
Students gain understanding of simple and complex organizations; engage in analysis or application of organizational concepts; incorporate the perspectives of management, workers, volunteers, and the community in the study of organizational behavior.
CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY
The MCCC/MCPS Career & Technical Education Steering Committee views technology as integral to the Career & Technical Education curriculum. Technology may reference materials and support equipment used in Career & Technical Education applications. These are the physical “tools” included in all Career & Technical Education courses. Technology may also refer to technology literacy or use thereof, a common theme throughout Career & Technical Education reflected in Career & Technical Education Standard #1.
ASSESSMENT
Student progress in reaching competencies and standards will be assessed in a variety of ways in each classroom. In addition to paper and pencil tests developed by teachers and found in program materials used by teachers, students will be assessed on their performance on a variety of activities, demonstrations, laboratory experiments, and specific performance tasks. Teachers will also observe students over time in order to evaluate understanding of concepts.
MEETING STUDENTS’ DIVERSE NEEDS
Students with diverse needs--those with unique abilities and/or disabilities--will have differentiated opportunities to achieve standards, and at rates and in manners consistent with their needs. Students who excel will have opportunities to achieve competencies and standards at a faster pace. Some appropriate modifications may be found in Appendix II.
HIGH SCHOOL COURSE DESCRIPTIONS OVERVIEW
Frenchtown high school offers Career & Technical Education classes organized in one of three program areas: business and marketing education, family and consumer science, and industrial technology. Within each program there are many choices and directions available to students. In order to address the needs of all students, courses are typically sequential in nature so that students entering the high schools at whatever skill level can take appropriate Career & Technical Education courses. While all Career & Technical Education classes are elective, it is highly recommended that students complete a series of Career & Technical Education courses that will guarantee their computer literacy, as well as their readiness to move to the workplace and/or post-secondary education, and allow them to explore a variety of career options by pursuing a career path.
