Course evidence: Students will use proper drawing techniques to create working drawings to represent objects, parts and ideas, Students will go through a process in deciding how the shapes will be drawn and what type of drawings will give the best information to the audience. Students will participate in several design projects that will involve student doing research, brainstorming, and creating working drawings of their ideas. As an example, students will sketch a preliminary design of a floor plan and then draw it to scale. Students will also create a 3D model of this design using CAD software. 14 CTE (approved and non-approved) District Approved VPA Courses Receiving Credit Family and Consumer Science  604- Sewing 1  605 – Sewing II  606- Open Sewing  608 – Creative Design Projects  610 – Foods 1  611 – Foods 2  612 – Foods 3  617 – Interior Design Industrial Technology  634- Introduction to Drafting  636 - Architectural Drafting  638 – Mechanical Drafting  652 – Introduction to Woods  653 – Advanced Woods Business  590 - Software Media Management  591 - Advanced Software Media Management  592 - Digital Media Management  593 - Interactive Media Management LCTC  928 – Hospitality Management (Culinary Arts at FHS)  929 – Hospitality Management (Culinary Arts at FHS)  938 - Digital Imaging and Design I  939 - Digital Imaging and Design II  904 – Website Design with Interactive Media I  905 – Website Design with Interactive Media II  920 – Fashion Merchandising I  921 – Fashion Merchandising II  926 – Cosmetology I  927 – Cosmetology II  940- Architectural Technology/CAD  942 – Engineering Technology/CAD √ Senior Math Related Credit (1.0) Using PLC’s and Professional Development 1) Alignment of Work Keys – Levels 3,4,5,6 with Michigan GLCE’s (using CTE-STAR) Gregg Chandler e-mail: GreggC@esx.com And 16 2) Alignment of Michigan GLCE’s with CTE program math content Why Algebra II?

Begin Career Development Process including an EDP starting in 7th grade (In Michigan, this could meet the 20-hour on-line learning). 2. Identify credits students have met/may be able to meet before entering high school—Ex. On-line and Algebra 1. 3. List CTE courses meeting varied high school credit requirements: a. On-line; b. Visual, Performing, or Applied Arts; c. Senior year – 4th year math related; d .5 Algebra II; and/or e .5 Health Credit ( based on instructor credential in Health Sciences) CRITICAL: follow process for Board approval. 4. For each Career Pathway/Pathway Cluster offered, create a template to include CTE program course(s) along with the added requirements they fulfill, and then all other required courses.
