TO THE PARENTS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS:

The mission of the Fort Worth Independent School District is to prepare students for success in college, career and community leadership. We are committed to working with you in order to ensure that all students are provided the appropriate rigorous learning opportunities in order to fulfill that mission.

The information contained within this course catalog is designed to assist students, parents, and school staff in understanding the Fort Worth Independent School District and Texas State Graduation Requirements along with the courses and programs available to fulfill these requirements. Students and parents are urged to review this information and to work closely with the student's academic advisor to develop a long range educational plan.

Students entering Grade 9 during the 2014-2015 school year and thereafter will be required to earn an endorsement as part of their Foundation Graduation Diploma program. An endorsement allows a student to focus his/her studies to include a sequence of four courses/credits with selected advanced level courses aligned to his/her career and college interests. Various courses are available to meet each student's needs. Information regarding these courses is described across available disciplines and levels including advanced placement and dual credit courses.

Fort Worth Independent School District has developed an electronic student course scheduling system which includes pre-programmed graduation course progression plans. This scheduling system will facilitate a student's enrollment in the respective courses required for graduation, with a focus on a selected endorsement. This system will also assist students in understanding the timely course completion needed to qualify for certifications or licensures in specialized career fields. Therefore, it is recommended that students and their parents begin with the student's understanding of the career and college pathways information provided in this catalog.

Wise planning and decision-making concerning programs and course selections during the secondary school years increases the probability of successfully achieving academic and/or career goals. We look forward to working with you and your child.

Sincerely,

Kent P. Scribner, Ph.D.

Decisions made about courses taken in middle school are important. By paying careful attention to your course choices, students and parents can ensure that a wide range of options are available in high school.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS A high school student who is not in attendance at least 90 percent of the days the class is offered in a semester may lose credit for the course. Please see the school handbook or District Policy FEA and FEC for further information.

HIGH SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS HIGH SCHOOL TESTING REQUIREMENTS In addition to the high school graduation course requirements, the state has mandated testing requirements.

Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) Based on the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandates, the TELPAS requires teachers of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students to rate these students according to indicators set by the state in the following domains of English language in Grades K – 12: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Based on state law passed in 1999 and new State Board of Education rules, all students in grades 2 – 12 who are identified as LEP will be rated online for the TELPAS reading section. This includes LEP students whose parents have denied the program. LEP students served through special education will also participate unless their admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee exempts them on the basis that their disability prevents appropriate measurement in one or more domains. LEP students will participate until they meet the English Proficiency exit criteria.

High School STAAR End of Course (EOC) Requirements The following high school courses require a STAAR EOC exam:

English Language Arts Mathematics Science Social Studies

English I and English II Algebra I Biology US History

OPTIONAL HIGH SCHOOL TESTING Credit by Examination Students may earn course credits by taking District approved Credit by Examinations (CBEs). Tests are administered throughout the year by the Advanced, Accelerated, and Innovative Learning Department. These tests allow students to earn credit for courses without prior instruction. However, CBEs are not available for courses that require an End of Course (EOC) STAAR Assessment.

To receive credit for the course, a student must earn a score of 80% or higher. The CBE grade is recorded on the transcript but is not used in calculating the Grade Point Average (GPA). There may be a fee for the exam. Please see your school counselor for more information. CBEs are not recognized by the NCAA for athletic eligibility purposes.

graduation requirements, a student must: meet qualifications set by the District and the participating institution, select courses approved by the District, and have approval of the high school principal. Program of Choice Coordinators will provide students with current information regarding approved dual credit courses. Grades in dual credit courses are used in the calculation of the high school grade point average.

WHAT IS A CAREER FOCUS? Think of a career focus as being like a college major. Did you know that there are thousands of different careers in the United States? To help organize the thousands of careers, the U.S. Department of Labor has organized them into 16 career areas with occupations and broad industries that share certain features. In FWISD, the many available career focuses provide you with a developed coherent sequence that can lead to an industry endorsement with your high school diploma. Each career focus begins with foundation courses that allow you to explore the careers within the focus and to learn basic concepts and skills needed for careers within that focus. As you move forward in the career focus, you will begin to take technical courses that provide you with advanced knowledge and skills in preparation for postsecondary training and/or for jobs in your chosen career field. Many career focuses will prepare you to complete industry certifications that allow you to graduate with a performance acknowledgement on your diploma. It will also make you more employable with higher starting salaries. This could be an avenue to assist in paying your way through college and/or to place you in a business or industry that will provide financial assistance with your college education.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CAREER FOCUS AND AN INDUSTRY ENDORSEMENT? A career focus is a sequence of courses within a career cluster and link what students learn in school with the knowledge and skills they need for success in college and careers. Industry Endorsements require that the students take four courses from basic skills to advanced courses in the sequence to receive the endorsement when the student graduates from high school.

WHAT IS A COHERENT SEQUENCE? A coherent sequence is a series of courses that relate to a student’s career interest and career focus. A coherent sequence builds from foundation and/or exploratory courses to courses that include higher level skills and knowledge to courses that allow the student to practice the high level skills they have learned either in a lab setting or in the workplace.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A COHERENT SEQUENCE OF COURSES? A coherent sequence of classes helps you focus your education on courses that will prepare you for your career goals both at the secondary and postsecondary level. The sequence lets you build your knowledge and skills from the basic level to a more technical and advanced level and provides you with the opportunity to take any industry certification offered in that career area and receive the industry endorsement when they graduate from high school.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A COHERENT SEQUENCE? A coherent sequence of courses builds from foundation-level to workplace-level skills and knowledge. If you follow one of the career focuses listed in this CTE section of the course catalog, you will be participating in a coherent sequence.

IS A CAREER FOCUS FLEXIBLE? Yes, a career focus can be very flexible. Since there are a variety of jobs and job levels within each occupational group, the courses you take for one career focus may be the same as the courses needed for another career focus within that general career area. Therefore, you have the opportunity to explore a variety of occupations within a career focus and to learn a variety of occupational skills that allow you room for flexibility within your education and career goals.

WHAT IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND? You always need to take the basic courses before jumping into the higher level courses, and career focuses are very flexible. If you take a principles class in one cluster, you may be able to move forward in a different cluster without repeating the principles class. Many courses can transition from one career focus to another. However, you should get guidance from your counselor and CTE teacher if you decide to transition from one career focus to another. Even if you have to start over at the basic course level, you really have not lost anything since you will have gained knowledge and skills from your last career focus that you can use throughout your life.

The example above is taken from the Business Management career focus. You can see the grade level where certain courses are to be taken along with the number of credits that can be earned.

Notice that the course offered for 9th grade is denoted with the abbreviation of ‘T’ (short for ‘Term’) in the course number. These courses are only one semester in length and will allow students to earn 0.5 credit. However, these course types are able to be taken in either the fall or the spring semester.

Notice also that the course for 10th grade spans an entire year. These courses consist of both an ‘A’ and ‘B’ component that must be taken in order for the student to earn 1.0 credit. This is exactly how most students think of taking any core class like English or math. These courses are not to be broken up into separate years of high school.

More options are available to students in the 11th grade. The following are the various ways a student would earn credits for this Endorsement based on the course offerings:

1. To earn 2 credits, the student may take Business Management/Honors and Business Law/Honors and GlobalBusiness/Honors.

2. To earn 1.5 credits, the student may take Business Management/Honors and Business Law/Honors.

3. To earn 1.5 credits, the student may take Business Management/Honors and Global Business/Honors.

4. To earn 1 credit, the student may take only Business Management/Honors.

5. To earn 1 credit, the student may take Business Law/Honors and Global Business/Honors.

Students qualify for certain Practicum Experiences as they near graduation. Each Endorsement will vary in the availability and content of these experiences.

Finally, we know the options can quickly become overwhelming. You are therefore urged to contact the CTE office for any questions you may have at 817-814-1800.
