  • CTE SPOTLIGHT Marilyn Henselman Director of Career and Technical CAREER and TECHNICAL EDUCATION, September 2020 Education Programs
    CTE SPOTLIGHT Marilyn Henselman Director of Career and Technical CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION, September 2020 Education Programs WHAT IS CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION? Career and Technical Education are elective courses which cover twelve different career pathways with specific classes in each career cluster. We have career pathways in Agriculture, Audio/Visual Communication, Business/Management, Marketing, Hospitality, Human Services, Information Technology, STEM, Automotive, Construction, Welding, and Health Careers. To see the many courses and career pathways, visit the Bellevue School District web site https://bsd405.org/programs/cte/cte-courses/. The Career and Technical Education office sends out information each month highlighting the different CTE programs and events. What is a Program of Study? A Program of Study is a set of courses in a career cluster that leads to a college/career track. The Program of Study shows what classes a student could take that lead to a post-secondary program from grades 6-12. For example, let’s look at Computer Science: The top section refers to the different career pathways within this cluster. It suggests different classes that would prepare a student for that pathway. The middle section is the core classes students should be taking to adhere to the graduation requirements, but also incorporates the elective courses and the college credits available if a student follows this strand. The bottom section of the document shows the college course name and number that the class articulates to, as well as, how many credits are available, and what certifications are available through the pathway. The last two boxes to the right identify colleges and technical colleges that offer the program, and the types of professions available under that career pathway.

  • BELLEVUE SCHOOLS TIMELINE 1883-Present
    BELLEVUE SCHOOLS TIMELINE 1883-Present Early pioneers claimed land and began homesteading in the area between 1863 and 1883. The land was given to the homesteaders by the U.S. government as long as they agreed to live on it and improve it. Property that was one-half mile from the lakeshore was considered choice property. Waterfront tracts, which were to be sold and money used for schools, were called “school section lands.” During this same time, an informal post office was established and the pioneers named the area “Bellevue”, meaning “beautiful view”. 1883 The first public school was built in Killarney on the west side of 108th Avenue S.E., just north of S.E. 25th Street. This 10x12 log cabin school was built by Albert Burrows and George Miller. Miss Calanthia Burrows (“Tunie”), Albert’s daughter, was the first teacher for the 7 students. She was paid $40.00 for a three month term. The 7 students included two younger Burrrows children and 5 Miller children. 1884 A shanty on Mercer Island was used as a school. H.E. Kelsey was the teacher for 9 students. (Kelsey Creek is named for him) 1885 Mrs. Houghton was the next teacher. School District #49 was formed November 10, 1885. It took in T25N R4E Sections 25, 36, T25N R5E, Sections 30, 31 22, 33, and half of Sections 28, and 29. It comprised what would today be Beaux Arts, and nearly all the area of Bellevue including the Killarney area. (Source: Boundary Books Puget Sound Regional Archives) (School District #28 was formed February 8, 1879 and took in T24N R4E Sections 11, 12, and 13, and T24N R5E Section 18 and part of 17.
