Purpose 

The purpose of this program is to give students an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills related to the area of Diversified Education

The content includes but is not limited to Diversified Education.  

Additional Information relevant to this Career and Technical Education (CTE) program is provided at the end of this document.

Program Structure

The purpose of this program is to provide support for at-risk students.  This support shall be provided through instruction in the methods of acquiring the necessary human relations skills, work ethic, and common knowledge required for successful employment and for selection of a career plan that will guide the transition from school-to-work.  Concurrently, the student is to be engaged in paid, supervised part-time employment as a means of gaining experience in a bona-fide work environment in compliance with the Child Labor Law established by the U.S. Department of Labor for the Work Experience and Career Exploration Program (WECEP).*

The Federal Child Labor Regulation 3 allows WECEP 14 and 15 year old students to work during the school day, between 7 AM and 7 PM, for a maximum of 23 hours per week, and a maximum of 3 hours per day, in any occupation permitted by Florida Child Labor Law, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and/or in any occupation for which a variance (Student Learner Exemption Agreement) has been obtained from the Department of Labor and Employment Security http://s.dol.gov/88. 

Opportunities are to be provided for the student to obtain competencies and recognition through successful work experience and to satisfactorily complete a high school education.

A student may not enroll in a Work Experience class without concurrent enrollment in Work Experience-OJT (8301650).  Also, a student may not enroll in Work Experience-OJT (8301650) without previous or concurrent enrollment in a Work Experience class.  Each student enrolled in the Work Experience 1, 2, 3, or 4 courses may earn one credit.  A minimum of 1 credit for on-the-job employment experiences may be earned for each year the student is enrolled in Work Experience-OJT. 

The student must be paid for work performed and must be directly supervised.  Supervised on-the-job activities may be continued as a summer learning experience without classroom instruction for students who previously participated successfully in the in-school and on-the-job instructional activities.

A beginning Work Experience student will be placed in the 8301610-Work Experience 1 course.

The following table illustrates the secondary program structure:

Florida Standards for Technical Subjects 

Florida Standards (FS) for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects are the critical reading and writing literacy standards designed for grade 6 and above.  These standards are predicated on teachers of history/social studies, science, and technical subjects using their content area expertise to help students meet the particular challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language in their respective fields.  It is important to note that the 6-12 literacy standards in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects are not meant to replace content standards in those areas but rather to supplement them.

This curriculum framework incorporates the grades 9-10 reading and writing literacy standards in the first two courses of this CTE program and grade 11-12 reading and writing literacy standards in the third and fourth courses of this CTE program.  The standards for Mathematical Practices describe varieties of expertise that educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students.  These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education.  This curriculum framework incorporates the appropriate mathematical practices in the first four courses of this CTE program.  

Common Career Technical Core – Career Ready Practices

Career Ready Practices describe the career-ready skills that educators should seek to develop in their students.  These practices are not exclusive to a Career Pathway, program of study, discipline or level of education.  Career Ready Practices should be taught and reinforced in all career exploration and preparation programs with increasingly higher levels of complexity and expectation as a student advances through a program of study. 

1. Act as a responsible and contributing citizen and employee. 

2. Apply appropriate academic and technical skills. 

3. Attend to personal health and financial well-being. 

4. Communicate clearly, effectively and with reason. 

5. Consider the environmental, social and economic impacts of decisions. 

6. Demonstrate creativity and innovation. 

7. Employ valid and reliable research strategies. 

8. Utilize critical thinking to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 

9. Model integrity, ethical leadership and effective management. 

10. Plan education and career path aligned to personal goals. 

11. Use technology to enhance productivity. 

12. Work productively in teams while using cultural/global competence.

Job counseling sessions between the teacher/coordinator and each student should be documented for each grading period.  Flexible scheduling can be implemented, as agreed upon by the teacher/coordinator and guidance personnel, when such scheduling is found to be needed to meet the student's needs.

Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO)

Cooperative Education Clubs of Florida/Business Professionals of America (CECF/BPA) is the appropriate career and technical student organization for providing leadership training and reinforcing specific career and technical skills.  Career and Technical Student Organizations provide activities for students as an integral part of the instruction offered.  The activities of such organizations are defined as part of the curriculum in accordance with Rule 6A-6.065, F.A.C.

Cooperative Training – OJT

On-the-job training is appropriate but not required for this program.  Whenever offered, the rules, guidelines, and requirements specified in the OJT framework apply. 

Accommodations

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities as identified on the secondary student’s Individual Educational Plan (IEP) or 504 plan or postsecondary student’s accommodations’ plan to meet individual needs and ensure equal access.  Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify, present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their counselor and/or instructors.  Accommodations received in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary education.  Accommodations change the way the student is instructed.  Students with disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments and assessments, time demands and schedules, learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems.  Documentation of the accommodations requested and provided should be maintained in a confidential file.

In addition to accommodations, some secondary students with disabilities (students with an IEP served in Exceptional Student Education (ESE)) will need modifications to meet their needs.  Modifications change the outcomes or what the student is expected to learn, e.g., modifying the curriculum of a secondary career and technical education course.  Note: postsecondary curriculum and regulated secondary programs cannot be modified.

Some secondary students with disabilities (ESE) may need additional time (i.e., longer than the regular school year), to master the student performance standards associated with a regular Occupational Completion Point (OCP) or a Modified Occupational Completion Point (MOCP).  If needed, a student may enroll in the same career and technical course more than once.  Documentation should be included in the IEP that clearly indicates that it is anticipated that the student may need an additional year to complete an OCP/MOCP.  The student should work on different competencies and new applications of competencies each year toward completion of the OCP/MOCP.  After achieving the competencies identified for the year, the student earns credit for the course.  It is important to ensure that credits earned by students are reported accurately.  The district’s information system must be designed to accept multiple credits for the same course number for eligible students with disabilities.
