Career Readiness I (Specialized Career Education Basic) (C.C.) (5290)

This is a Selective Access program.

The purpose of this individualized job preparatory program is to provide specialized career education for students with significant cognitive/learning disabilities who, in addition to instructional accommodations, require modifications to the career and technical education (CTE) program in order to meet individual interests, abilities, and learning needs. The program provides each student with an individualized plan of study (IPS) that consists of standards and benchmarks selected from one or more CTE programs. Students participate in competency-based curriculum with integrated academic, technical, and problem-solving skills.

The goal for each student is to obtain competitive employment in a chosen occupation.

This program offers a sequence of courses that provides coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare for further education and careers. It provides technical skill proficiency, and includes competency-based applied learning that contributes to the academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning, and problem-solving skills, work attitudes, general employability skills, technical skills, and occupation-specific skills.
