12. Lets get started! What is the CTE course sequence?

13. Introduction to Engineering and Design Industry Sector: Engineering and Design Career Pathway: Engineering Tech CTE Course Sequence: Project Lead the Way Courses Principles Of Engineering Engineering Design and Development 1-2 Engineering Design and Development 3 - 4 Terminology * http://www.pltw.org/Engineering/Curriculum/Curriculum-high-school.cfmhttp://www.pltw.org/Engineering/Curriculum/Curriculum-high-school.cfm

14. Next Step What are the academic requirements? –What flexibility do you have in where these courses are placed? –Is there a testing ramification to course placement? What needs to be added for the UC a-g requirements?

17. Additional Components Work-based Learning Support Services

18. Work-based Learning Sequenced Coordinated Scaled

19. Sequenced Guest Speaker Company tour/Field Trip/Visit Job Shadow Service Learning Student-run Enterprise Virtual Apprenticeship Teacher Externship Mentor/Tutor Internship Project Related Internship Authentic Assessment Less Intense More Intense

20. Sequenced Guest Speaker Company Tour/Field Trip/Visit Job Shadow Service Learning Student Run Enterprise Virtual Apprenticeship Teacher Externship Mentor/Tutor Internship Project Related Internship Authentic Assessment 9 th Grade 12 th Grade

21. Support Services Bridge programs – Summer of 8 th grade Credit recovery programs, online courses Summer School Afterschool Tutoring/Mentoring Extended Day/Summer School Student Advisory Periods

22. Master Schedule Development Determine type of schedule 4x4, 4x8, 6x2, 7x2, modified block, etc, Enrollment projections Student Support needs Class loading Number of teachers needed Student cohorts

23. Master Schedule Timeline Planning Design Program of Study Determine specific Course offerings Develop catalog of courses Student articulation rising 9 th graders Scheduling current students Finalizing master schedule Summer planning September October November December February March/April May June/July

24. Common Issues Can’t fit it all in to current schedule Can’t afford to have Technical Core in grades 9-12 –ROP doesn’t support the earlier grades –School doesn’t have the resources –CTE doesn’t meet grad requirements or UC a-g –Can’t we just embed theme into academic core CPA grant is restrictive Classes are not pure 9 th grade academy model prohibits four year Program of Study

25. Next Steps Additional support needed Identification of PD/TA providers
