Dear Parents and Learners,
The Coppell High School Course Planning Guide has been designed to provide our learners and parents with helpful information regarding the courses offered at CHS. Becoming familiar with the course guide will be extremely important in order to make appropriate course selections for your learner as you plan for the 2016-2017 school year.
The CHS Guidance and Counseling Department has an understanding of your learner’s abilities and interests and will offer suggestions and advice based on those abilities. Although educators can be valuable resources concerning courses and their recommendations, it is extremely important that your learner make individual choices for his/her schedule. These are very important decisions in which learners must have input, as schedule changes will be minimal.
I encourage you to review the courses on the following pages with your learner. CHS desires to offer every course described in the course guide; however, staffing, class load, and funding will determine course availability. Please make sure you are using the appropriate graduation chart for your child’s graduating class.
The last day to make changes to course requests for the 2016-2017 school year is Monday, May 2. After May 2, course request changes will be made only for extenuating circumstances. Changes made after the opening of the school year will be made for equalizing educator’s loads, for administrative purposes, or for correcting errors and in accordance with the Schedule Change Process in the Course Planning Guide. Please make selections carefully.
It is our desire that your learner have appropriate opportunities to select courses and make the best possible choices that are offered in Coppell High School’s instructional program. If you have any questions regarding particular courses and/or the course selection process, graduation requirements, or scheduling, please call your learner’s counselor.
We look forward to working with you and your learner in preparing for a successful upcoming school year.
Sincerely, Mike Jasso Mike Jasso, Principal Coppell High School

Selections during registration indicate how many teachers and sections will be needed for a course. Master schedules are developed in the spring prior to the upcoming year. The process allows administrators to plan and to hire for optimum academic strength. When learners are permitted to randomly change schedules, teachers and classrooms are not effectively utilized. As a result, all learners are affected. Even the most effective planning is compromised. Very seldom does a single course change affect only one course. Careful selections benefit everyone. Thank you for being a crucial part of our educational team as we work together for academic excellence.
Registration Parent and learner informational meetings will be held during spring registration. Learners will be guided through course selection during individual conferences to confirm course selection. Learners who do not submit a Course Selection Worksheet will have a schedule arranged for them by their counselor according to their academic needs and/or graduation plan. Change Dates The last day to make changes to course requests for the 2016-2017 school year is Monday, May 2. A learner who does not submit course selections electronically online at https://hac.coppellisd.com and does not submit a course selection worksheet by Monday, May 2, 2016 will not be eligible for a schedule change. The last day to make a change to an Endorsement Plan for the 2016-2017 school year was Monday, May 2. Current 9th and 10th graders will have the opportunity to change their Endorsement Plan during their Spring Registration Meeting with their counselor.

6 2016-2017 Coppell High School 10th-12th Grade Course Guide ® Rank in Class Technology DAP Additional .5 Speech Credit HIGH SCHOOL COURSE PLANNING
Planning a four-year high school program is a serious undertaking. Although many of your courses will be determined by the graduation plan you select, you will still have many other choices to make during your years of school. Your course selection should be guided largely by your plans for the future. Coppell ISD provides a wide range of programs that prepare learners for post-high school experiences. The programs offered allow a learner to choose the high school program best for him/her, whether that program is the traditional college preparatory or a career preparatory program. By planning wisely, you can create the future that is most appropriate for you. This guidebook is designed to help you select courses during your high school years that will support your future education and employment plans. The majority of employment opportunities require specific skills and education beyond high school. Determining which direction you want to go is not always easy. To help you decide on your pathway there are several tools that are available to you. One tool Coppell ISD offers is the Naviance program.
Coppell High School counselors recommend that all learners explore the Naviance program career features listed below to help align course selections with future goals. Naviance Career Features 1. Personality Type Assessment: Do What You Are Do What You Are differs from other programs in several important ways. Perhaps most notable, it is based on personality typing — the innate way people naturally see the world and make decisions — a set of basic drives and motivations that remain constant throughout a person’s life. Other programs are based on the belief that the best career decisions result from matching learners’ values, skills and interests with specific jobs. However, in reality, values, skills and interests are quite fluid in young people and often change significantly as they grow older. Learning about their personality types, learners gain accurate and invaluable insights about themselves and their career-related needs. This enables them to make the most informed, satisfying college and career decisions. 2. Career Interest Profiler
The Career Interest Profiler is a tool that can help you discover the types of work activities and careers that match your interests. The interest profiler has 180 questions about work activities that people do at their jobs. This is not a test. There are no right or wrong answers. The more accurately you answer each question, though, the better your results will be. 3. Cluster Finder Career clusters are a way of grouping careers with common features and skills. Careers grouped into the same cluster typically require similar education and training. Exploring clusters can be a useful way to find a good career match, especially if you have general areas of interest but are not sure what specific careers match those interests. Career clusters can also help you better understand how your coursework in school can prepare you for certain types of careers. 4. Explore Careers & Clusters A general tool to further research specific careers or career clusters that are of interest to you. This can lead to further investigation to post- secondary education options to meet your future needs. Take your time and make good decisions when you choose your courses. You can always change your pathway or cluster. Part of being a high school learner is about exploring options. The intention of this section is to give you some ideas to think about as you continue your journey towards a productive and fulfilling life.
Parents: with your learner.

8 2016-2017 Coppell High School 10th-12th Grade Course Guide ® Rank in Class Technology DAP Additional .5 Speech Credit Seniors The Distinguished Achievement Program (DAP)
The Distinguished Achievement Program is the most prestigious diploma in the state of Texas. The graduate who earns distinguished achievement completes a rigorous program of study in pursuit of a high school diploma that is a stepping stone to continued higher education. The learner will be a DAP Candidate until all requirements are verified. Distinguished Achievement Candidate is a local term used only for the purpose of identifying those students who are scheduled on a pathway potentially leading to completion of the Distinguished Achievement Plan (DAP) for graduation. The requirements for completing the DAP pathway are listed below: 1. The learner must complete the coursework (credits) of the DAP graduation plan which includes three years of the same foreign language and 2. The learner must achieve any combination of four advanced measures chosen from the following options:
Option 1 Original research/project that is: Judged by a panel of professionals in the field that is the focus of the project; or Conducted under the direction of a mentor(s) and reported to an appropriate audience; and Related to the required curriculum set forth in the Essential Knowledge and Skills base for the state of Texas. Original research/projects may not be used for more than two of the advanced measures.
Option 2 Test data where a learner receives: A score of 3 or above on an AP exam. A score of 4 or above on an IB exam. A score on the PSAT that qualifies a learner for recognition by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation Program and College Board as (1) Commended Scholar or higher, (2) National Achievement Program (for Black Americans) outstanding or higher, (3) National Hispanic Recognition Program. The PSAT score may count as only one advanced measure regardless of the number of honors received by the learner. If a student has not achieved all four measures needed for DAP distinction by June 1 of the graduation year, the final transcript in the Graduation Packet will read "Recommended Plan”. CHS receives AP and IB test scores from May exams from College Board and International Baccalaureate in July of the graduation year. At that time if a student achieves four measures, the final transcript will be changed from “Recommended” to Distinguished Achievement Program”. The student may return to CHS with his/her diploma and CHS will affix the DAP seal to the diploma.
Option 3 • College courses with a grade of B or higher in courses that count for college credit. Tech Prep program courses () taken as part of a coherent sequence in high school with a grade of 80 or higher. Courses that qualify have the “thumbs up” symbol in front of the course title in the course planning guide. These locally articulated courses that count as a DAP measure may earn learners college credit at Northlake if the learner chooses to enroll at Northlake after high school graduation.
There can be NO substitutions allowed in the Distinguished Achievement Program.
Download the DAP Frequently Asked Questions pdf document at http://bit.ly/DAPFAQpdf
Examples of how learners have achieved 4 advanced measures to graduate under the Distinguished Achievement Program: Learner A: scored 3 or higher on 4 AP exams. Learner B: scored B or higher in 4 college credit courses. Learner C: earned a grade of 80 in 1 tech prep program course, scored a 3 on 1 AP exam, and earned a B and an A in 2 college credit courses.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES
AP COURSES Research shows that learners who participate in AP courses are better prepared for the academic challenges of college. When evaluating applications, colleges and universities look at the rigor of courses a learner took versus what was offered at the high school and recognize AP courses as at the highest level. Learners have the opportunity to be recognized with a color cord at graduation for their achievement in Advanced Placement courses offered at CHS. This may be one of two ways: 1. Learners who enroll in and complete at least eight AP courses will be designated as Advanced Placement Achievement Graduates. 2. Learners who enroll in and complete twelve or more AP courses will be designated Advanced Placement Achievement Graduates with Honors. In order to be recognized as an Advanced Placement Achievement Graduate or Advanced Placement Achievement Graduate with Honors, learners will complete an application and submit it to the AP Campus Facilitator by March 31. Upon review, learners will be notified of their status. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are designed by College Board to reflect the knowledge and skills taught in college courses. Learners may demonstrate their knowledge and skills on AP Exams offered each May during a two week period. Learners may earn college credit based on qualifying scores on the exams. The criteria for earning credit vary by college. For more information, visit www.apcentral.collegeboard.com. CHS endorses an open enrollment policy for AP courses. There are no qualifying criteria or applications for learners to enroll as long as they have taken the stated pre-requisite courses. The Advanced Placement program enriches the secondary school experience of learners willing to apply themselves to college level studies and provides the means for colleges to grant credit or placement, or both, to learners who earn qualifying scores on AP exams.
