Dear Parents and Students:

The BHS Career and Educational Planning Guide (CEPG) is intended to assist students as they make plans for their education and a career that will lead to a successful and fulfilling future. Our mission is to graduate ALL students ready for college or career. We urge students and parents to review the information in this book in preparation for creating the student’s Personal Plan of Study (PPS). Each year your student will review his/her PPS with a guidance counselor and teachers. It is your student’s unique plan of study for high school and beyond, outlining BHS courses that align with future education and career goals. When students see the relevancy of high school course work to what they aspire to in their future, they are more apt to invest in their education and select more rigorous, challenging courses. Course selection is a very important process!

Parents, please participate actively with your student and BHS in creating and reviewing your student’s Personal Plan of Study. Students rank parents as the most influential people in their lives, and take their lead in selecting careers. Please challenge your student to set high standards; to select courses and school activities which directly support the achievement of personal and career goals; and encourage your student to work hard to achieve their goals through effort and daily attendance. Embrace the power of your influence and genuinely engage in educational pursuits with your child!

We look forward to partnering with you for a successful year and a successful high school career for your student. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance.

Sincerely,

Dr. Fred Skretta Check Yourself Belton High School Missouri Public University Each box is a full Class of 2010 and 4 year Of credit beyond Missouri English & 4 Language Arts English I, II, III 4 4 (IV or higher)

Standardized tests are designed to give a common measure of students' performance. They help compare an individual's performance with the performance of a group of students from a given class, school, or school system. Since large numbers of students throughout the country take the same test, "standards" can be developed to show whether school programs are succeeding and how students are performing. Standardized achievement tests measure how much students have already learned about school subjects such as reading, math, language skills, spelling, or science. On the other hand, standardized aptitude tests measure your students' ability to learn in school. They measure verbal ability, mechanical ability, creativity, clerical ability, or abstract reasoning.

ASPIRE ASPIRE is a new program that is comprehensive assessment program tailored for grades 3-10 and will be replacing the PLAN and EXPLORE. ACT Aspire will include summative assessments that measure how much students have learned over time, as well as aligned classroom-based assessments that help educators better understand students' learning needs in individual classes throughout the school year. The aligned assessments will inform teachers about students' progress toward specific learning standards, so they can better tailor their instruction and resources to help students learn.

EXPLORE EXPLORE is an achievement test and interest survey that measures performance in math, English, reading and science reasoning, plus provides information about career interests. This is the entry point into ACT’s Educational Planning and Assessment System, and is followed by the PLAN and the ACT. Taking this assessment in the ninth grade helps students explore a broad range of options for their futures including planning high school courses, preparing for the ACT, and choosing a career path. Will be phased out starting the 2014-15 school year.

7 PLAN (Preliminary American College Testing Program) PLAN is a two-hour version of the ACT given in the fall to all sophomores. The PLAN provides practice for the ACT. It includes tests in English, mathematics, reading, and science reasoning. The test also provides a career interest inventory. It is a good tool for sophomores to use as they start planning for their post-secondary college and career options. Will be phased out starting the 2014-15 school year.

PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) The PSAT/NMSQT measures verbal and mathematics reasoning skills important for academic success in college. It serves three purposes: gives the student practice for the SAT I; is the first step in qualifying for scholarships sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and other scholarship programs; gives the student the opportunity to participate in the Student Search Service. This test is taken in the junior year for NMSQT qualification. ASVAB (The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) The ASVAB measures students’ strengths and potential for future success. The ASVAB also provides career information for various civilian and military occupations and is an indicator for success in future endeavors including college, vocational school, or a military career. ACT (American College Testing Program) The ACT is a battery of four examinations in English, math, reading, and science reasoning, each of which yield separate scores measuring developed abilities. The test is required by many colleges as part of the application process for admission. SAT I (Scholastic Aptitude Test) SAT I is a test used to predict student performance in college. Required by some schools as part of the application process, this three-hour test has two main sections—verbal and math.

TSA (Technical Skill Attainment) A TSA measures students’ ability in a specific career path. The assessment is aligned with industry- recognized standards. The test is taken at the end of the program which is usually the senior year.

College Level Exam Program (CLEP) There are two types of CLEP examinations. The first type is the General Examinations that measure achievement in the liberal arts areas of English composition, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, and history. The second is the Subject Examinations, which measure achievement in specific college-level courses. The examinations are comparable to a final exam in a particular undergraduate course. Each college or university determines which of these examination scores to accept. It is important for students to have accurate information from the school they plan to attend regarding the acceptance of CLEP credit. The cost per examination is paid by the student, and the student is responsible for arranging the test with the college's testing office.

Advanced Placement (AP) Testing Students enrolled in AP courses are encouraged to complete the AP examination for which the course

8 has prepared them. Information is available from the teachers of the AP courses. Each college or university determines which of these examination scores it will accept. It is important for students to have accurate information from the school they plan to attend regarding the acceptance of AP credit.

10 Page No. 2 SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Effective educational programs are those that provide opportunities for student learning both within the classroom and beyond the traditional classroom and school day. These expanded opportunities are viewed as educational options to supplement the regular program.

A+ SCHOOLS PROGRAM Students who take part in the A+ program must meet requirements for GPA (2.5 points or higher on a 4-point scale), attendance (an overall rate of at least 95 percent for grades 9 through 12) and good citizenship (standards are set by schools and so vary). Students must also spend 50 hours doing district-supervised unpaid mentoring or tutoring (in many A+ schools, tutoring is offered as a course). Once students earn the A+ award, they have up to four years after high school graduation to use the benefit; that means graduates who do not go straight to college still have time to use their A+ award. High school students who complete the state’s A+ Schools Program earn two years of paid tuition at a public community college or an eligible career or technical school. Many of the students who take advantage of the A+ schools program say they would not foresee higher education in their futures without it.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is a nationwide program of college level courses and exams for secondary school students. AP courses provide students a rigorous, college level curriculum. Credit may be received by earning a satisfactory grade on a fee-based nationally standardized AP exam.

AP World History . AP Literature & Composition . AP Chemistry . AP Biology

ARTICULATED CREDIT Articulation agreements are set up for certain career, technical or occupational courses that are offered through a postsecondary institution such as Longview Community College. Articulated credit is earned by successfully completing a career, technical, or occupational course with an 80% or higher. Enrollment for articulated credit must be made while the student is enrolled in the high school equivalent course. The college credit will appear on a college transcript once a student graduates high school and earns 15 hours of college credit through the post-secondary institution.

For more information contact Mr. Arnold...... PURPOSE OF CAREER PATHS & CAREER CLUSTERS . . Career Paths . Career paths are clusters of occupations/careers grouped according to participants’ interests and talents or skills. All paths include a variety of occupations that require different levels of education and training. Thus, career paths provide a plan for all students, whatever their interests, abilities, talents, or desired levels of education. Selecting a career path provides a student with an area of FOCUS, along with FLEXIBILITY and a VARIETY of ideas to pursue. The focus of career paths is on helping students choose a career path, not a specific occupation. Selecting a career path is not a lifelong commitment; it is a place to begin focusing one’s energies. As students take different courses and learn more about themselves and careers, they will probably change career paths. Students who understand the career paths concept will be aware that there are a variety of other related possibilities if the first path no longer fits them. If different career paths become more interesting, the students can reevaluate plans, make appropriate decisions, and revise their high school plans annually as necessary. .

14 . Benefits . Deciding on a career path can assist students in exploring interests and preparing for the future. The intent is not for students to decide on a specific occupation, but to select a career path into which they can begin directing energies. Identifying a career path can help students in selecting school courses, activities, and part-time employment. It can also help guide participation in job shadowing, career exploration and internships. A career path choice is not a permanent commitment. As students have new experiences and learn new things about themselves they may decide to change career paths. If a student decides on a different career path to explore, it should be discussed with a counselor and adjustments to future course selections in accordance with the new career exploration should be made. . . Career Exploration Assessments . Belton students complete career exploration assessments starting in the 8th grade. This is a way the student can identify an initial career path choice. Counselors will then use this information to assist students in making course selections and developing a five-year plan. The PLAN test is administered in the 10th grade. It provides an inventory that will indicate which career clusters interest the student. This will help the student update his/her personal plan of study and career path. . . CHOOSING A CAREER PATH OR CLUSTER . 1. Identify interests, abilities, and talents. . 2. Identify the career path or cluster that relates to interests, abilities, and talents. . 3. Explore occupations in those career paths or clusters. . 4. Decide how much education to receive after high school. . 5. Develop a personal plan of study by selecting courses and co- curricular activities that relate to career educational and career goal. . 6. If undecided regarding a career path or cluster, choose courses from different career areas to give a better idea of interests. . CAREER PATHS TO CAREER CLUSTERS .

16 . . . . CAREER CLUSTERS PROGRAM OF STUDY TEMPLATES . . “What do you want to do after high school?” That is a question that is asked of our students a multitude of times over the course of their public school education. It’s a question that is not easily answered, due to the enormous number of possible post-secondary alternatives that are currently available to our students. Technological advances and global competition have transformed the nature of both education and work. Tomorrow’s jobs will require more knowledge and training, highly developed 21st century skills, technological skills, and more flexible workers than ever before. Our students need to be prepared for, and informed of, the reality of several job and career changes over the course of their lifetimes. They need to understand that they will have to continually update their knowledge and skills, which may require additional training and/or education. . . The Belton School District offers a wide array of courses and experiences to its students. As students review course offerings and activities, we hope to guide them in choosing coursework and experiences that are relevant to their future goals. . . In planning for post-secondary goals, students should start with examining where their own interests and talents lie. This can be accomplished in many different ways within the school district; researching middle and high school classes of interest, taking interest and skill inventories, participating in career fairs offered, and taking advantage of the many extra- curricular and enrichment activities available. The school district uses the Missouri Connections online program (www.missouriconnections.org) for interest assessments and to explore the variety of options students have beyond high school. . . Using the results of career assessments students create their personal plan of study for their high school years and beyond. School counselors, teachers and other district personnel, are available to guide students and parents in this important planning process. The planning process is critical to not only meeting graduation requirements, but also to taking the coursework that will ultimately lead to a successful post-secondary transition. . . The following program of study templates, serve as a guide, along with other career planning materials, to help students develop their personal plans of study. Courses listed within these programs of study templates are recommended coursework only and should be individualized to meet each learner’s educational and career goals. . . Course descriptions follow the templates. .
