21 Programs of Study (POS) The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins) calls upon states to create sequences of academic and Career and Technical Education coursework to help students attain a postsecondary degree or industry-recognized certificate or credential, otherwise known as Programs of Study (POS). At minimum, according to the definition put forward in Perkins, programs of study must: Incorporate and align secondary and postsecondary education elements. Include academic and CTE content in a coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses. Offer the opportunity, where appropriate, for secondary students to acquire postsecondary credits. Lead to an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree. 21

22 Achieve Texas This initiative used the National Career Clusters Framework, which is based upon sixteen federally defined career clusters. NOT YET UPDATED for House Bill 5 yet still useful. 22

27 Advanced Academics (AP, IB, Dual Credit) JEFFREY MILLER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, COLLEGE READINESS GRAND PRAIRIE ISD 27

28 What is Advanced Placement (AP)? Advanced Placement (AP) is a program of college-level courses offered at many high schools. Designed by the College Board Courses are available in many subject areas, including English, history, humanities, languages, math, psychology and science. The focus is not on memorizing facts and figures. It's on engaging discussions, approaching and solving problems together and learning to write well. Exam at the conclusion of the course allows the student to demonstrate mastery of the course content 28

29 What AP Courses are Available? 29

30 Why Take AP? Retrieved from: 30

31 AP + Partnerships = More Achievement We.org - A Pilot Program to Incorporate Service Learning into AP Courses - Through its partnership with Free The Children, the College Board hopes to: Encourage teachers and students to apply the knowledge they gain in college-level AP classes by locally developing and enacting service initiatives that address opportunities and challenges in their own or others communities. Allow for broader discussions of demanding academic material due to the interactive and problembased nature of service-learning projects. Provide the relevant tools and resources for educators and students to design and implement their own service-learning programs. Encourage higher education institutions to recognize service-learning within a rigorous academic context. 31

32 AP + Partnerships = More Achievement Project Lead The Way (PLTW) - Long-term partnership to develop college and career pathways in STEM by combining AP courses with Project Lead The Way programs. The partnership creates an opportunity for students to earn credentials that signify their readiness for college and careers, and participate in career-focused opportunities such as internships and scholarships. These recognition opportunities for students will be available beginning in summer Additionally, schools will receive credentials when they bring together AP and PLTW courses in a meaningful way for students. 32

33 HB 1992 New Texas Law requires state colleges and universities to accept scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams

34 What is International Baccalaureate (IB)? The International Baccalaureate (IB) offers a continuum of international education. The programmes encourage both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and in their personal development. In order to teach IB programmes, schools must be authorized. Every school authorized to offer IB programmes is known as an IB World School. The IB is different from other curricula because it: encourages students to think critically and challenge what they are told is independent of governments and national systems, and therefore able to incorporate best practice from a range of international frameworks and curricula encourages students to consider both their local and international environment. 34

35 IB Continuum of International Education 35

36 IB Learner Profile The IB learner profile is the IB mission statement translated into a set of learning outcomes for the 21st century. IB learners strive to be: Inquirers Knowledgeable Thinkers Communicators Principled Open-minded Caring Risk-takers Balanced Reflective 36

37 Why IB? The IB is different from other curricula because it: encourages students to think critically and challenge what they are told is independent of governments and national systems, and therefore able to incorporate best practice from a range of international frameworks and curricula encourages students to consider both their local and international environment. 37

38 What is Dual Credit? Courses offered for dual credit stem from agreements between high schools, universities and community colleges whereby a a student enrolls in a college course and simultaneously earns college credit and high school credit for the course. By state law, dual credit college-level academic credit is transferable to public colleges in Texas as either core or elective credit. Credit may or may not be accepted by private or out of state institutions. Students are responsible for determining whether their college will accept credit in transfer. Students typically start taking courses after their sophomore year. 38

39 What is Dual Credit? Dual credit is awarded to students when they earn a passing grade in a college course. The college credit is reflected on the transcript from the college with which the district has established an MOU. It is up to any other accepting college/university to determine whether dual credit coursework will be honored. 39

40 Why Dual Credit? IF THEN Dual Credit 2 x as likely to complete a degree w/in six years According to Jobs for the Future 40

41 Parent & Student Responsibilities for Dual Credit Parent Responsibilities In electing to participate in a dual credit course, the student and his/her parents must comply with his/her District s dual credit procedures and policies. Understand that Dual Credit is College Credit Student Expectations In all matters related to the dual credit course, students are held to the standards, expectations and regulations of their partnering higher education institutions. High academic standards High attendance requirements Alternative grading procedures and discipline procedures (including appeals are usually under the jurisdiction of the partnering higher education institution) 41
