Diversified Career Preparation Course & Assignments
September 16, 2007
Course Description:
Diversified Career Preparation is an innovated course that has been approved by the Texas Education Agency for Granger ISD to offer to its students. Diversified Career Preparation education refers to an instructional arrangement, not a course or training area. This work-based instructional arrangement develops essential knowledge and skills through classroom technical instruction and on-the-job training in an approved career and technology-specific training area that has already been approved and assigned a course number. Students will receive general employability skills as a group; however each student will have an individual training plan that will address their job specific knowledge and skills. Approved training sponsors will employ each student. The training sponsor will assist the teacher in providing the necessary skills and knowledge for the student’s specific work training. Students will be given job specific training assignments in the classroom or participate in job shadowing or
internship.
This course will be most effectively utilized if it is part of the student’s coherent sequence of courses. The recommended prerequisite is two semesters of technical training prior to or during this course of study.
Unit Plans will soon be posted.
