CTE: From Vocational Tracks to Integrated and Experiential Academics This is deep in the gene pool of public education: There are only two types of people - academic and nonacademic; smart people and non smart people. And the consequence of that
This is deep in the gene pool of public education: There are only two types of people - academic and nonacademic; smart people and non smart people. And the consequence of that is that many brilliant people think they're not because they've been judged against this particular view of the mind.
Our kids are learning in the most stimulating communications, media, and digital environment in history. Curriculum and Instruction must be increasingly…
CTE is College and Career Preparation Integrated pathways and technical education courses Programs of study offer contextualized and applied learning opportunities; increase probability of student engagement Development of transferable skills: core workforce competencies, work experience, time, resource, and project management,
Curriculum anchored in regional high growth/high wage opportunities in 6 industry sectors. Offers content within and beyond the school day Early college credit opportunities (concurrent college enrollment + credited work experience) Contextualized components: internships, apprenticeships, mentorships, guest speakers, site visits and greatly expanded dual enrollment options.

that extend student learning beyond the traditional framework.
The Berkeley Safety Technical Emergency Program (B -STEP)
Developed and supported through ongoing partnership with the Berkeley Fire Department. Course progression consists of Fire Science, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with a postsecondary progression to Paramedic (CCCC) Last year B -Step students completed approximately 1,500 Mentor and ride along hours under the supervision of the Berkeley Fire Department
Law & Social Justice Pathway
Law & Social Justice, the Legal Practices Pathway, will prepare students with a broad-based foundation of knowledge pertaining to the various types of law and of legal practice and provide a foundation of basic skills necessary at all levels in the legal professions Students analyze, evaluate, and learn best practices within the criminal justice system, examine in detail how laws are created, enforced and investigated, how violators of law are prosecuted, and how those found guilty navigate the justice system while exploring possible career
Partners include Youth Development Through Law, The District Attorney’s Justice Academy, The Berkeley Police Department
Communication Arts and Sciences (CAS) and Digital Media
The Communication Arts & Sciences (CAS) & Digital Media Pathway courses = Intro to Computer Art, The Art of Video Production, Advanced Studio Editing and Advanced Digital Photography. Students from all learning communities have access to Digital Media course
Internships provide opportunities for students to explore the professional world of media and to expand and apply media skills and
Arts and Humanities Academy (AHA)
The AHA Visual Arts CTE pathway is comprised of AHA Creative Arts, AHA Advanced Creative Arts, and AP-Studio Art The AHA Senior Inquiry Project : Students formulate a question relating to their artistic practice, their educational or professional goals and the community or world at large. Their year is then designed to pursue investigation of this interest by conducting an in-depth research project that includes interviews, readings and an internship in the community
The current ICT course offerings at Berkeley High School Include:
The BHS ICT Pathway will connect Introduction to Computer Programming to overall ICT Pathway planning as we encourage students to explore more advanced ICT courses and to pursue stackable industry recognized certificates
Berkeley Technology Academy
BTA is currently engaged in the development of an ICT Pathway. Likely course progression will include, Intro to Programming, Beginning IOS App Development, and Android Basic (JAVA).
Engineering Technology Pathway
The Engineering Technology pathway provides learning opportunities for students interested in preparing for careers in the design, production, or maintenance of mechanical, electrical, electronics, or electromechanical products and systems
Electronic Tech
BUSD is moving on facilities upgrades to support an Electronic Tech Course. The Electronic Tech Program is being developed in coordination with Los Medanos College and in partnership with Baywork and EBMUD
Robotics
Robotics options, driven by student demand, include access to partnerships like the UCB Pioneers in Engineering Program. Our developing robotics program also seeks to instill the wide range of highly relevant and marketable skills embedded in many Robotics programs.
Building Trades & Construction
Carpentry
Introduction to Carpentry will introduce shop safety, basic skills with hand and power tools, mathematical problem solving, and interpretation of working drawings and the development of leadership skills.
Stagecraft
The proposed Entertainment Technician course introduces and develops students in four departments of entertainment technician expertise; Rigging, Carpentry, Lighting and Audio-Video. The course concentrates on fundamental and advanced elements of expertise an entertainment technician must have to succeed and thrive in the broad industry of presenting Performing Arts in its many forms.
This pathway is being developed in partnership with Carpenters Local 713 and International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 107 and BHS VAPA Staff
CTE Funding Sources
Amount Current Usage
BUSD General Fund CTE Budget $255,268 (annual/ongoing)
Career Technical Education Incentive Grant (CTEIG) $508,000 (one time grant ends June 2019)
Carl Perkins Funds $47,116 (annual/ongoing)
California Pathways Trust $184,811 (one time grant ends June 2018)
Career Pathways Trust 2 $275,000 (One time grant ends June 2019)
Regional Occupation Programs (ROP) $184,269 (16 -17) (Annual but funding phased out to zero by 2020)
CTE Facilities Modification and Equipment $5.1 Million (Measure I Bond)
CTE Credentialing:
Increased state and federal funding directed at the development of CTE pathway s is coupled with the requirement that all spending be aligned with courses taught by holders of CTE credentials. BUSD has made great progress in this area. 8 additional BHS teachers have earned CTE credentials in the past 5 months and all courses designated as CTE are led by teachers who hold the appropriate Career Technical Education credential
Increased opportunities for Career Exploration:
Career Locker - All BHS Students have access to Career Locker Accounts BCC Counseling 57 Career & Life Planning (Concurrent Enrollment opportunity in partnership with Berkeley City College)
In-depth career and life planning: Self-exploration, identifying values, interests, needs and goals; development of skills for assuming careers and lifestyles over the life span, influence of career choice on the quality of life, and the development of a career action plan. UC/CSU Transferable Credit
BHS Redesign:
BHS Redesign poses both opportunities and challenges. Under the current BHS Learning Community assignment protocol and bell schedule all CTE course opportunities are not available to all students as they enter BHS. The CTE Advisory Committee is working with the BHS Design Team to support pathway access and college and career exploration and development opportunities as we build towards the future.
BHS
BAS
The decision to offer an The Engineering Technology Pathway (Electronic Tech) in partnership with Baywork (training facility for regional Municipal Utilities) and EBMUD calls for a dedicated lab with appropriate ventilation, access and electrical capacity. We have that space at BAS and can partner with the Berkeley Adult School's planned Fabrication Lab
