CTE SPOTLIGHT CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION

BELLEVUE SCHOOL DISTRICT

Marilyn Henselman, CTE Supervisor January, 2016

This month we will focus on the Arts, A/V Technology & Communication Programs of Study. Our Arts, A/V Technology & Communication Program is located at all of our high schools. Some of our high schools provide two-hour or three-hour courses which provide in-depth instruction and industry training. The Arts, A/V Technology & Communication program is broken up into different career areas. Television/Radio and Media, Graphics/Photography, and Technical Theater.

There are symbols next to the courses which have specific meanings: WANIC, Network for Innovative Careers, are programs that focus on a specific career pathway and can lead towards immediate employability or students can continue their education at a local technical college, community college, or university. The courses are two periods in length during the school day. The program is offered at a specific high school within but is available for all students within the district and outside of the district. These courses provide college credit. Students are required to provide their own transportation to and from locations.

College Credit means that this course will provide college credit to , Cascadia Community College, Shoreline Community College, or Lake Washington Institute of Technology depending on the course and the articulation agreement. Students pay a one-time fee of $46.00 to earn as many credits as they can during the school year. Students must maintain a “B” average.

Skill Centers, are programs that focus on a specific career pathway and can lead towards immediate employability or students can continue their education at a local technical college, community college, or university. The courses are three periods in length during the school day. The program is offered at a specific high school within Bellevue School District but is available for all students within the district and outside of the district. These courses provide college credit. Students are required to provide their own transportation to and from locations.

GRAPHIC ARTS 1 Location: Sammamish Students learn a variety of methods used in the visual communications field: graphic design, computer graphics, vinyl sign cutting, offset printing, screen process printing, laser engraving and digital printing. These skills are developed through a series of student-designed projects completed with state-of-the-art equipment and the most current software. Students learn not only the graphic design process but also go through the steps in order to create final products. Projects include: business cards, greeting cards, T-shirts, posters and others.

GRAPHIC ARTS 2 Location: Sammamish Students will continue with their skill development introduced in Graphic Arts 1. This course will allow them to study more in depth topics with an emphasis on color image reproduction. Students will work wide format digital printing, laser engraving, and heat transfers. This course requires significant individual work and emphasizes higher-level problem-solving skills.

GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PRODUCTION STUDIO Location: Sammamish - WaNIC (Available to all schools through WaNIC.) If you are interested in running your own business or the field of Graphic Arts this might be the class for you. This class is designed to provide students who are either seeking entry-level employment or post-secondary training with the skills needed to enter the field of graphic arts. Graphic Design and Production Studio is run as an actual graphics business including offset printing, electronic pre-press, screen printing, sign making and digital printing. Students are responsible for all aspects of this business including customer relations, inventory and quality control, and time management. Class members have the opportunity to participate in SkillsUSA, a national student organization that provides the opportunity to develop additional leadership skills and to enter competitions with other graphics students from around the state and country. (This class may be used as either a Fine Arts credit or an Occupational Education requirement.)

NEW CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION COURSES FOR 2016-17!

Next year we will be adding five new courses to the CTE program. They are: Middle School:  CS 101 - CODING IN PYTHON 1 which will be offered at Big Picture, Chinook, Highland, Odle, Tillicum and Tyee. This course is an introduction to computer science and coding in Python, a professional programming language widely used in the software industry. Python is an excellent first programming language for students new to line-based coding in that it provides simpler syntax and semantics and higher code readability than other programming languages (such as Java and C++). This minimizes complexity and allows students to focus on core computer science concepts, problem-solving, design and programming. Students learn fundamental computer science concepts including data- statements, expressions, variables, values & errors, control structures – conditionals, while loops, indentation & function call, drawing- coordinate system, colors, animation, key & mouse input, lists, for each loops, for-in-range loops, sprite- based graphics- sprites, program structure, collision detection, functions - definition, parameters & arguments, return values & types

High School:  CINEMATOGRAPHY & CINEMA PRODUCTION will be offered at Newport High School. Film is an in-depth study of the nature of film as a powerful medium of communication and entertainment, and as an art form in its own right. The course is divided into three compulsory sections - textual analysis, film theory and history, and creative process -- these are inextricably interwoven throughout the processes of teaching this course. Through a textual analysis of films and a study of film history students will enhance the development of their creative, analytic and production skills. Students will be required to create scripts for documentaries that study specific film styles and techniques, develop oral presentations that critically analyze short film passages, and produce short films. Film is a serious, academic approach to the study of history and film production.  ENTREPRENEURSHIP which will be located at Sammamish High. This course is for anyone who is considering owning and operating their own business. Owing your own business can be risky but also very rewarding. The course will include all aspects of beginning a business. Funding, operating, managing and marketing will be included. The course will be project based in which students will be required to produce a viable business plan that will be evaluated by business people in the community. If you want to “live the American dream-be your own boss” entrepreneurship is for you.

 HEALTH SCIENCE CAREERS - 3 HOURS Students will have an increased health care internship experience in nursing assistant training and career exploration and a more in-depth study of human anatomy and physiology which distinguishes this class from the two-period Health Science Career course. Explore the challenging, exciting career possibilities in health care. Students learn about health care topics such as patient care skills, CPR and First Aid, anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, disease pathology, and career paths. Starting in January students have internships at health care facilities and hospitals and specialty sites. Areas of rotation have included the emergency room, cardiac catheterization, and mother-baby unit, rehabilitation units including OT, PT, and speech therapy. Great clinical sites, guest speakers, field trips and leadership activities make this course invaluable for students considering careers in health settings.  AP COMPUTER SCIENCE PRINCIPLES will be located at Sammamish, Newport, Bellevue, and Interlake. AP Computer Science Principles introduces students to the central ideas of computer science, instilling the ideas and practices of computational thinking and inviting students to understand how computing changes the world. The course promotes deep learning of computational content, develops computational thinking skills, and engages students in the creative aspects of the field. The course is equivalent to a first-semester introductory college computing course.

The Bellevue School District is committed to providing equal opportunities for all persons without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation, sex, or other extraneous factors.
