33 PUBLIC SERVICES CTE/NON-CTE COMPARISON NON-CAREER & TECHNICAL (CTE) EDUCATION PATH COURSES To satisfy the Non-CTE path in the Public Services, students must select four credits in Army, Navy, or Air Force ROTC. One example of how a student could satisfy the Non-CTE path for the Public Services is as follows: Completion of ROTC I-IV. CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) PATH COURSES To satisfy the CTE path in the Public Services, students must select four credits from the following clusters: Education & Training Human Services Law, Public Safety, Security & Corrections Health Sciences When selecting courses, students must select two from ONE cluster within the Public Services ; one advanced CTE course from any cluster in the Public Services area; and one final course from within the endorsement. The final course cannot be considered an entry level course. One example of how a student could satisfy the CTE path for the Public Services is as follows: Principles of Human Services (1credit) (Human Services Cluster); Child Development (1 Credit) (Human Services Cluster); Forensic Science (1 Credit) (Law, Public Safety Cluster, CTE, and counts as 4 th science credit); Criminal Investigations (1 credit) (Law, Public Safety Cluster) For a comprehensive list of all courses in the Public Services, see course list in this section of the guide. For course descriptions, please refer to the High School Course Description Guide (CDG). For grade level requirements and credit values, see the cumulative course list in the Appendix of this guide. NOTE: When determining whether a CTE course is advanced or entry level, the following rules apply to the course lists in the back of this guide. Any course in ALL CAPS AND BOLD are considered advanced CTE courses. Any course in red is an entry level course and should NOT be selected as the final course in the sequence. designations do not apply to NON-CTE courses.

37 STEM ENDORSEMENT Science, Technology, Engineering & Math

38 STEM ENDORSEMENT OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION Students pursuing a STEM endorsement would complete courses directly related to: Environmental Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science. For more information on these and other related careers, please explore career pathways in Career Cruising. POSSIBLE CAREERS The STEM endorsement may be the right pathway for a student interested in careers such as a biochemist, bioengineer, civil engineer, pharmacist, nurse, psychiatrist, anesthesiologist, orthodontist, lab technician, scientist, medical assistant, and forensic science technician. AVAILABLE PATHWAYS Both CTE and Non-CTE pathways are available within the STEM endorsement. SPECIFIC CORE REQUIREMENTS In addition to the requirements of the Foundation High School Program, students must successfully complete a TOTAL OF 26 STATE CREDITS to include the following: Math (1.0 credit or combination of two.5 credit classes) Math courses must include Algebra 2 and an additional Math that has an Algebra 2 prerequisite. See list of Math Courses in this guide. Science (1.0 credit or combination of two.5 credit classes) Science courses MUST include Chemistry and Physics. (4.0 credits) A minimum of four credits which will satisfy the students selection. Courses (3.0 credits) Credits may not be satisfied by local credit courses. Local credit courses are specifically designated in the High School CDG. Additional core classes may be required based on the Pathway selected.

41 STEM CTE/NON-CTE COMPARISON NON-CAREER & TECHNICAL (CTE) EDUCATION PATH COURSES To satisfy the Non-CTE path in the STEM, students must select a coherent sequence of credits from one of the following options: o Four credits in Computer Science; OR o Two additional Math credits for which Algebra II is a prerequisite; OR o Two additional Science credits (does not include Integrated Physics & Chemistry); OR o Three additional credits from no more than two of the following disciplines: Computer Science, Science, Mathematics, or CTE One example of how a student could satisfy the Non-CTE path for STEM is as follows: Algebra II, Precalculus, AP Statistics, and Engineering Math. CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) PATH COURSES To satisfy the CTE path in the STEM, students must select four credits from the STEM clusters. When selecting courses, students must select two from THE SAME cluster within the STEM ; one advanced CTE course from the STEM cluster; and one final course from within the STEM endorsement. The final course cannot be considered an entry level course. One example of how a student could satisfy the CTE path in the STEM is as follows: Principles of Biosciences (1 credit); Engineering Design & Problem Solving (Bioscience) (1.0 credit); Engineering Mathematics (1 credit); and Robotics 1(1.0 credit). For a comprehensive list of all courses in the STEM, see the Appendix at the back of this guide. For course descriptions, please refer to the High School Course Description Guide (CDG). For grade level requirements and credit values, see the cumulative course list in the Appendix of this guide. NOTE: When determining whether a CTE course is advanced or entry level, the following rules apply to the course lists in the back of this guide. Any course in ALL CAPS AND BOLD are considered advanced CTE courses. Any course in red is an entry level course and should NOT be selected as the final course in the sequence. designations do not apply to NON-CTE courses.
