Seeking “Honors” Distinction NOTE: To receive “honors” distinction, the course submission must satisfy certain requirements. For information about these requirements, please visit the a-g Guide: http://www.ucop.edu/agguide/a-g-requirements/honors/index.html. For “previously approved” courses (including AP and IB), the honors information will be pre-populated as applicable. X No Yes, AP Yes, IB (Higher Level) Yes, IB (Standard Level) Yes, Other Honors NOTE: Defined as a course specifically designed by the school with distinctive features which sets it apart from regular high school courses in the same discipline areas. Course should be seen as comparable in terms of workload and emphasis to AP, IB, or introductory college courses in the subject. Honors courses must be designed for the 11th and 12th grade level and require a comprehensive, year-long, written final exam. In addition to AP and IB higher level courses, high schools may certify as honors level courses not more than one unit in each of the following subject areas only: history, English, advanced mathematics, each laboratory science, each language other than English, and
Page 2 Updated 2/1/2014 each of the four VPA disciplines. If there are no AP or IB higher level courses in a given subject area, the high school may certify up to, but not more than, two units at the honors level in that area.

______“d” – Laboratory Science ______Biological Science ______Chemistry ______Physics ______Integrated Science NOTE: Students electing to enroll in an integrated-science program (ISP) are strongly advised to complete the entire three-year sequence. In most cases, the first year of an integrated-science sequence fulfills only the "g" elective requirement; the second and third years of the sequence then fulfill the two-year "d" laboratory science requirement. Accordingly, if only ISP I is successfully completed, then two courses from the categories of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics in the “d” subject area must be completed. If ISP I and only one of ISP II or ISP III are completed, then one additional course from the categories of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics from the “d” subject area must be taken to fulfill the "d" requirement. ______Interdisciplinary Science NOTE: This category demonstrates that the course is cross-disciplinary and is often used for advanced science courses such as AP Environmental Science or Biochemistry.

Catalog Description
Brief Course Description NOTE: Briefly (in a short paragraph) describe the course, focusing on content, rather than instructional strategies, assessments, or rationale. If school has a catalog, enter the description that is in the catalog.
Careers with Children is a year-long course that provides an introduction to Child Development theories, skills and application in an early childhood workplace setting. This course is designed to provide students with a foundation in Child Development in order to pursue a career in a variety of Early Childhood professions.
The classroom academic work is reinforced by the requirement in which students will be placed in preschool or day-care facilities. Students will apply child development theories and practices discussed in class along with implanting lesson plans.
Students will use analytical reading, writing, listening, verbal communication and critical thinking skills in the production of oral presentations with the use of technology, collaborative and individualized curriculum research, essays, reflective writing, quizzes, exams, and develop professional portfolios.
Pre-Requisites: Child Development Required ______Recommended X______NOTE: Laboratory science and Advanced VPA courses require a pre-requisite. Submissions will not be allowed if this is not included. Some courses, particularly in the mathematics subject areas, require appropriate pre-requisites. For further explanation, refer either to the "Guide to a-g Requirements" document or the a-g Interactive Guide web site at www.ucop.edu/agGuide.

Background Information NOTE: Do not include information that could identify your school or district.
Context for Course (optional) REQUIRED FOR CTE COURSES NOTE: In order to understand the context for a new course, sometimes it is helpful for UC to understand the broader educational program and/or reform efforts of the school. How does this course fit into broader departmental and/or pathway structure? How does it fit into the overall school restructuring plans? Is the course intended to be a core course or supplemental? What are the student/school/community needs met by this course?
This is a capstone course in a sequence of courses in the Child Development Pathway. This course is aligned with the state standards and frameworks adopted by the California Department of Education.
History of Course Development (optional) REQUIRED FOR CTE COURSES NOTE: Likewise, it is sometimes helpful for UC to know the origins of a course and who was involved in its development. Did you consult with UC Admissions personnel or UC professors? If so, what was the nature of such consultation and what was the result? Was this course modeled after another course at another school? If so, is that course UC approved? How does the course being submitted differ from the course after which it was modeled? Has this course received any special recognitions, designations or awards? Has it been articulated to local community colleges or universities?
Various secondary and post-secondary instructors were part of a committee through the Home Economics Careers and Technology Education UC a-g Task Force to develop the Careers with Children course.
