5. Define CTE Graduation Requirement A career and technical education credit (CTE) credit means a credit resulting from a course in a CTE program or occupational education credit as contained in the CTE program standards of the office of the superintendent of public instruction. “Occupational education” means credits resulting from a series of learning experiences designed to assist the student to acquire and demonstrate competency of skills under student learning goal four and which skills are required for success in current and emerging occupations. At a minimum, these competencies shall align with the definition of an exploratory course as contained in the CTE program standards of the office of the superintendent of public instruction. An exception may be made for private schools as provided in WAC 180-90-160. (Source: WAC 180-51-068)

6. Occupational Ed Credit Can the Occupation Ed credit be waived? No. The occupational education requirement cannot be waived or met by earning a credit in another subject area. (Source: The Washington State Board of Education)

7. 2 for 1 The “two-for-one” policy is a rule change (WAC 180-51-067) in effect for students in the graduating class of 2016. Students who take CTE-equivalent courses may satisfy two graduation requirements while earning one credit for a single course; hence, “two-for-one”. The purpose of this policy is to create flexibility for students to choose more elective courses or to address other graduation requirements. A CTE-equivalent course consists of two courses: one CTE, one academic. One of those courses is placed on the student’s transcript for credit. Students generally choose which course they want placed on the transcript, and this choice is driven by their High School and Beyond Plan. This practice will remain the same. Under the rule in effect through the class of 2015, WAC 180-51-066, the student earns one credit and satisfies one graduation requirement.WAC 180-51-066 The new policy will permit the second course to be “checked off” as a “met requirement” by local counseling staff. Which course is put on the transcript and which one is locally “checked off” will continue to be determined by the student, based on their post high school goals. The total number of credits the student needs to graduate will not change. Districts will continue to use a locally-developed process to enable the record-keeping needed to assure that all requirements have been met. Currently, the standardized transcript does not track the types of credits applied to courses.

8. 24-Credit Diploma Personalized Pathway – Based on HSBP for specific coursework – Career goal – Four-year course plan for graduation – Plan for after graduation High School & Beyond Plan (HSBP): A non-credit graduation requirement Students answer three questions: – Who am I? – What can I become? – How do I become that? Students think about how to get the most out of high school and to plan for their future. http://www.sbe.wa.gov/graduation.php
