Sauk Prairie High School

Sauk Prairie High School Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. -Chinese Proverb 2014-2015 Course Description Guide

What you need to know when planning your education Drop / Add Procedures: No changes will be made to accommodate a request for teacher preference, lunch or study hall. Drop/Adds can be made prior to the beginning of the school year/and or new semester. Schedule changes can also be made for five consecutive days beginning with the second day of each semester. (No schedule changes will be made the first day of school). Dropping of any class after the fourth week of the semester, or going below 6 credits, will result in a W/F (withdraw/failure) for the class. An exception may be considered for any student taking a full load of eight classes. Students with case managers will be required to initiate all changes through the case manager. Career Clusters: The Sauk Prairie High School is now implementing Career Cluster Models into our course selection process. These tools, Career Clusters and Career Pathways, will help students group their required courses and electives into a coherent sequence in preparation for college and careers. Utilizing the 16 Career Clusters, students can identify pathways from high school to twoand four-year colleges, graduate school, and/or directly to the workplace. By connecting education to future goals, students are motivated to work harder and enroll in more rigorous courses. Throughout this booklet you will see icons relating to each of the 16 Career Clusters that have been identified: Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources; Architecture & Construction; Arts, A/V, Technology & Communications; Business, Management & Administration; Education & Training; Finance; Government & Public Administration; Health Science; Hospitality & Tourism; Human Services; Information Technology; Law, Public Safety & Security; Manufacturing; Marketing, Sales & Service; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics; and Transportation, Distribution & Logistics. Almost all career possibilities can be found within the clusters. Students at Sauk Prairie High School are fortunate to have the opportunity to take coursework relevant to all 16 Career Clusters. Communicating career and educational goals to your guidance counselor, working with the Career Cruising website and exploring the 16 Career Clusters at www.careerpathways.org can aide students in choosing relevant and applied coursework designed to meet their individual educational and career goals. Career / Technical Education (CTE): CTE courses prepare students for the growing range of career opportunities in today s workplace. By integrating math and science concepts, CTE classes help students apply the skills they are learning in their core academic classes. Career opportunities may require varying levels of education from high school and postsecondary certificates to two and four year college degrees. Sauk Prairie High School students are fortunate to have many CT/E opportunities. Programs areas include: Agriculture & Natural Resources Business & Information & Technology Family & Consumer Education Technology & Engineering Education. Students already on Career Pathways should utilize their high school years to gain a foothold on the career of their choice by taking advantage of advanced standing credits, industry certification, certified work-based learning, and a full spectrum of coursework. Students still exploring Career Pathways may utilize CTE options to explore career interests. Another value of CTE is that oftentimes, students can decide, through exploration, if a career option suits their needs before leaving high school, insuring strong interest before beginning a post-secondary program. Youth Options: The Youth Options program allows all public high school juniors and seniors who meet certain requirements to take postsecondary courses at institutions of higher education. Students may take classes that are beyond the scope and sequence offered at the high school. The program opens the door to greater learning opportunities for students who are considering a technical career, wishing to begin college early or wanting to prepare to enter the workforce immediately after high school graduation. Application Deadlines March 1 for the fall semester and October 1 st or the spring semester. See your counselor for more information. Work Based Learning Experience Courses: Through the Work-Based Learning Experience Courses, students have the opportunity to earn certifications to help boost your resumes. The follow certifications are available to students enrolled in these courses. Youth Apprenticeship: Available to Juniors & Seniors, Youth Apprenticeship involves coursework and related work-based learning relevant some of the Career Pathways. YA students must be in good academic standing, have excellent attendance and have taken a coherent sequence of related coursework. Upon completion of 450 hours of related work and completion of a Competency Checklist, students are granted a Level 1 Youth Apprenticeship Certificate by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD). A 2-year program with successful completion of 900 hours of work-based learning and 2-year Competency Checklist earns students a Certificate of Occupational Proficiency from DWD. Opportunities are based on students being able to secure related employment. Employers must agree to adhere to standard employment of youth rules and regulations. Students must also meet with their teachers to fill out an application for this program. Certified Co-ops: Certified Co-op certifications are very similar to Youth Apprenticeships in the fact that they involve work-based learning, but their checklists are through the Department of Public Instruction. Employability Skills: The Employability Skills Certificate Program is intended to recognize a student s mastery of employability skills valued by employers. The program is designed around the implementation of the U.S. Department of Labor Secretary s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS); a school-supervised work based learning experience, and a career plan.
