  1. PROGRAMS OF STUDY Pathways, Partnerships & Perkins Conference November 3, 2009 Kathryn Rusch, Mary Messimer, Kelly Schlaak & Sandy Fabian

  2. TODAY WE WILL SHARE • EXPERIENCES IN DEVELOPMENT • EXPERIENCES IN EFFICIENCY • EXPERIENCES IN IMPLEMENTATION

  3. The Why of PROGRAMS OF STUDY • PROGRAMS OF STUDY ARE DESIGNED TO: Assist learners of all ages to make more intentional educational/career decisions: • Include coherent sequence of courses both required and elective (where possible) • Begin in high school or middle school progressing through college/university • Educational programs fall within a pathway from the Minnesota framework (the wheel)

  4. IDEAS FOR DEVELOPMENT I. SCOPE & SEQUENCE OFFERINGS AT SECONDARY & POST-SECONARY LEVELS II. TECH PREP COLLEGE CREDIT process & negotiations • Process & Strategies for Aligning Curriculum III. REGIONAL ADVISORY BOARD PARTICIPATION IV. Regional Perkins IV – SC Perkins Consortium participation & support in conjunction with local meeting(s) & information gathering.

  5. I. SCOPE & SEQUENCE AT SECONDARY & POST-SECONARY LEVELS • Each Secondary partner examines their own course offerings, required courses, Career & Technical Education & other electives – Information is shared through Course Registration materials & Programs of Study templates • Post-Secondary College partner examines their course offerings by Discipline – Program of Study area and offers a recommended course sequence for students registering for program of study

  6. II. TECH PREP COLLEGE CREDIT PROCESS & NEGOTIATIONS • Certificates are negotiated regionally every other Fall – course objectives are reviewed for existing certificates, updates in language, software editions, etc. are discussed and reviewed – updates are made to certificates as agreed upon by consensus of group in attendance. • New certificates are negotiated regionally by similar review process utilizing College’s Common Course Outlines and determining language that will appear on certificate that is understandable & accessible for group in attendance.

  7. III. Regional Advisory Board participation • High school partners are invited to become members of the College’s Regional Advisory Board. • Part of the agenda of Advisory Boards is the discussion of the curriculum – current offerings and potential changes to the curriculum as suggested by industry’s trends and shifts that need to happen at both the secondary & post-secondary training levels.

  8. IV. SC Perkins Consortium participation/support in conjunction with local meeting(s) & workdays • Consortium provides leadership, resources and information about Programs of Study to all members. • Independent school districts convene local meetings, determine course offerings, potential Programs of Study options at their respective school, complete data collection of information & submit data to Consortium office for input into electronic database system. District determines method, usage & dissemination of information at local level.

  9. Programs of Study -United South Central High School • Meet with all CTE staff to determine the Programs of Study to be offered at USC High School • Attend work session at South Central College to complete Programs of Study templates • Incorporate Programs of Study information into USC registration materials • Continue to update the Programs of Study at USC High School. Use the Programs of Study wheel to determine curriculum needs

  10. UNITED SOUTH CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Programs of Study - Course Planning Guide A Program of Study should serve as a guide, along with other career planning materials, for students to plan for their courses and education. United South Central High School courses listed within the Career Fields are only recommended and should be individualized to meet each learner’s educational and career goals. Below is a listing of required courses for United South Central High School students along with elective courses that are offered. The elective courses are listed under their corresponding Career Field. *CTE course meets criteria for Science Credit/Math Credit/Art Credit ** Courses with Articulation Agreements ***Concurrent enrollment courses offered for college credit through Southwest Minnesota State and Minnesota State University-Mankato ^ Project Lead the Way course meets criteria for college credit at school that will accept them Agriculture/Food and Natural Resources Arts/Communications and Information Systems Business Management and Administration Health Science Technology Human Services Engineering Manufacturing and Technology Ag Science 9 Ag Science 10 *Horticulture Ag Leadership and Business Large Trailer Construction *Agronomy and Soil Science *Animal Science Natural Resource Management Environmental Science *Food Science Supervised Ag Exp.
