WHAT COURSES ARE IN THE FUTURE FOR CAREER
TECHNOLOGY?
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COURSE
--- OPENING 2003-2004
SCHOOL YEAR
Information Technology provides high quality
instruction with the opportunity for
students to qualify for national
certification in several different areas.
The program provides programs of study in
the following areas: Information Services
and Support, Network Systems (an expansion
of the current CISCO program), Programming
and Software Development, and Interactive
Media.
These courses will expose students to
industry standards, prepare them for
certification tests,
and offer post secondary opportunities in
industry or at technical colleges. Courses
will be
articulated with post secondary colleges to
maximize students training potential.
PROFESSIONAL FOODS
COURSE with "Pro-Start" Certification -
OPENING 2003-2004 SCHOOL YEAR
The ProStart Curriculum
The two-year ProStart program
introduces students to concepts not found in
traditional home economic courses of study.
In addition to the fundamentals of
professional food preparation, students also
study business management topics such as
customer relations, accounting, cost
controls and marketing. There are two
student textbooks, one for each year of the
program. Each textbook consists of an
introduction and twelve chapters. Each
student who is to be certified should also
have a student workbook which includes the
workplace competency checklist and answer
form for the national certification exam.
********************************
We are excited to have
such a supportive
Career Technology Advisory Council.
It is composed of local businesses,
community leaders, post-secondary personnel,
parent volunteers, students and Career
Technology Instructors. Our first meeting
this school year was held on 12/12/03. We
discussed how the teachers at the high
school level can better prepare the students
for post-secondary school as well as being
more productive employees. With input from
the advisors, the instructors have
incorporated portfolios, resumes, mock
interviews, public speaking and
interpersonal skills into their daily lesson
plans. We feel that these skills will help
each student be more successful when they
graduate from high school.
Listed below are some of our
Advisors' Websites.

Council Member, please contact:
