TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Understanding Common Terms in Career and Technical Education (CTE)

CTE Career and technical education programs offer a sequence of courses that provides students with coherent and rigorous content. CTE content is aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare for further education and careers in current or emerging professions.

Program of Study Perkins V describes a program of study as a coordinated, non duplicative sequence of academic and technical content at the secondary and postsecondary level that: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Incorporates challenging state academic standards Addresses academic, technical, and employability skills Aligns with the needs of industries in the state, regional, and/or local economy Progresses in specificity, beginning with all aspects of industry and leading to more occupation Specific instruction Has multiple entry and exit points that incorporate credentialing Culminates in the attainment of a recognized postsecondary credential

IBC An industry-based certification (IBC) is a specific type of credential that validates that an individual possesses certain industry specific skills related to a career cluster or occupation and is measured against a set of accepted industry standards. TEA adopted by rule (19 TAC 74.1003) a set of requirements and process to formally approve industry-based certifications. This is a high-level summary of those requirements: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Defined as a certification – not just a certificate of course completion, but demonstration that skills were obtained and valid for a specific period of time (e.g., not the driver education course, but the drivers’ license exam) Industry recognized and valued – employer surveys indicate the certification is given significant consideration for hiring and wages Attainable by a high school student – a 17 or 18 year old could reasonably earn it by graduation Portable – regionally, to multiple employers, or to more advanced postsecondary or apprentice work Certifying Entity – certifications are issued independent of course completion to validate skills (e.g., DPS as the entity that validates passage of the drivers license exams)

AGRICULTURE, FOOD, AND NATURAL RESOURCES CAREER CLUSTER The Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) Career Cluster focuses on the essential elements of life food, water, land, and air. This career cluster includes a diverse spectrum of occupations, ranging from farmer, rancher, and veterinarian to geologist, land conservationist, and florist. It also includes nontraditional agricultural occupations like wind energy, solar energy, and oil and gas production.

Animal Science The Animal Science program of study focuses on the science, research, and business of animals and other living organisms. It teaches CTE learners how to apply biology and life science to real-world life processes of animals and wildlife, either in laboratories or in the field, which could include a veterinary office, a farm or ranch, or any outdoor area harboring animal life. Students may also research and analyze the growth and destruction of species and research or diagnose diseases and injuries of animals.

Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems The Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems program of study explores the occupations and educational opportunities associated with applying knowledge of engineering technology and biological science to agricultural problems concerned with power and machinery, electrification, structures, soil and water conservation, and processing agricultural products.

This program of study may also include exploration into diagnosing, repairing, or overhauling farm machinery and vehicles, such as tractors, harvesters, dairy equipment, and irrigation systems.

Plant Science The Plant Science program of study focuses on the science, research, and business of plants and other living organisms. It teaches students how to apply biology and life science to real-world life processes of plants and vegetation, either in laboratories or in the field.

Programs of study will provide students with a course sequence that ties to an endorsement and offers a strong vertical alignment between secondary and postsecondary education.

The suggested course pathways are intended to provide guidance to students seeking college and career readiness through course content and industry based certifications.
