3 Grade 12 Advance Placement Policy The Ohio Department of Education Division of Career Technical Education, and the Trumbull Career and Technical Center Board of Education, have developed policies which allow for the Advance Placement of seniors, enrolled in career/technical courses. In keeping with these policies and standards, the following guidelines are set forth to govern Advance Placement at the Trumbull Career and Technical Center. Students and parents must realize that Advance Placement is a privilege that must be earned by the individual student. It is not an automatic procedure for all career/technical students. Objectives of Grade 12 Advance Placement 1. Advance Placement is designed to provide students with actual on the job work experience to enhance and complete the career/technical lab experience. 2. Advance Placement will provide the student with additional experience on specialized equipment that may not be available at the career/technical school. 3. Advance Placement will provide the student with additional experience to help in the adjustment to business and industrial practices. Grade 12 Advance Placement Guidelines 1. The student will be placed in Advance Placement assignments after September 30 th (1 st Semester) or February 3rd (2 nd Semester) of his/her senior year. 2. Student must have the approval of his/her instructor for Advance Placement. 3. To be eligible for First Semester AP, the student must have a final B grade or better in lab, related and academic classes for Grade 11 and first semester to date of Grade 12. To be eligible for Second Semester AP, the student must have a >B= grade average or better in both lab and related during the first semester.

The student must maintain a 90% attendance average throughout the year to qualify for, and remain eligible for, Second Semester Advance Placement. 5. The student s job must be approved by the instructor and must be in the area of the student s training program. 6. The Cooperative Training Agreement Form and Training Plan must be completed and turned in to the instructor prior to employment of the student. An employer Evaluation Form will be given to employers to rate the student s performance a minimum of two times each nine weeks. 7. During First Semester Advance Placement, students may be excused to work a maximum of 3x/week. During Second Semester Advance Placement, students may be excused to work a maximum of 4x/week. However, the number of days out per week should be discussed with and agreed upon by the student s program instructor so that the student s classroom needs are fully met. 8.

Failure to maintain these requirements will result in a student being dismissed from the program.

7 Work Procedure The job training station lead can be supplied by the Student, Instructor, Supervisor, or the Career Development Program Coordinator. The instructor and student will complete the Grade 12 First or Second Semester Advance Placement Student Trainee Information Sheet. The instructor will follow up the interview and hiring by contacting the employer to complete the Grade 12 First or Second Semester Advance Placement Guidelines Form, and to organize a Training Plan. Do not allow the students to complete the forms. This is the instructor s responsibility. Forms should be typed or printed in ink. Please remember the forms are several pages thick. The student will review Grade 12 First or Second Semester Advance Placement Guidelines with the parent/guardian and get appropriate signatures. This will be returned to the instructor. It will, in turn, be sent to the Career Development Program Coordinator who will supply copies for parents, employers and instructors. A copy of the Grade 12 First or Second Semester Advance Placement Guidelines and Training Plan must be on file with the Career Development Program Coordinator before the student can be released from school. The employer will complete the evaluation form 2x/month (minimum). The student should supply copies of the evaluation form to his/her instructor and the Career Development coordinator.

8 Training Plans And Work Agreement The importance of Training Plans and Work Agreements in Cooperative Career Technical Education Programs cannot be over-emphasized. Both federal and state laws, as well as the Ohio Department of Education Division of Career Technical and Adult Education, require that Program Agreements and Training Plans be on file with the employer. The attached information will further assist you in preparing Training Plans which adequately reflect the student/employees job needs. If you have any questions regarding Training Plans, please feel free to discuss them with the Career Development Program Coordinator or your supervisor. General Instructions Identify job title. Prior to employment, obtain or develop with the employer a complete job description. From this job description, list the tasks the student/employee will perform during his/her work experience. The tasks should be listed in sequence as the training increases for the student. Be as specific as possible. Be sure that the instruction necessary for the student/employee to perform his/her tasks is listed, with special emphasis on any possible safety instruction necessary. Be sure instruction precedes the actual performance of the tasks by the student. Document when the student/employee has achieved the desired level of performance on each task performed.
