2015 CAREER PLANNING AND COURSE GUIDE This course guide is designed to assist in exploring and planning for the future. Career Clusters are tools to aide in investigating possible career paths and a means to assist students in grouping course work into a coherent sequence for college and career preparation. Each of the 16 Career Clusters contains sample careers along with additional complementary courses available to EAHS students. By utilizing the career clusters, EAHS students can choose relevant and applicable coursework designed to meet each student’s individual educational and career goals. Career Clusters are intended to guide and assist students in their post-high school preparation and planning. The staff and EAHS have worked hard to align additional course recommendations, however, these recommendations are not intended to direct students away from other areas of interest such as music or art. These recommendations are based on information found at www.careerclusters.org. COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL COUNSELING The ultimate goal of a comprehensive school counseling program is student success. The program’s design, delivery, and content are dedicated to enhancing the ability of all students to fully utilize the educational opportunities available to them. The PreK-12 program is delivered through direct and indirect services designed to address three domains of student development: academic, personal/social, and career. Comprehensive school counseling programs are integral to the school’s educational environment and partner with other academic and behavioral initiatives to effect positive changes in student achievement and behavior. Professional school counselors plan the comprehensive school counseling program and facilitate its delivery in collaboration with school administrators, other professional educators, and community members to produce measurable results. In a comprehensive program, the school counselor serves as a leader, advocate, and collaborator working to recognize and remove systemic barriers to student success. Resulting positive changes include increased student achievement, an improved graduation rate, better attendance, reduced disciplinary referrals, completed individual learning plans, and increased student participation in the community. The Office of College and Career Readiness also has a Resource Center where students may obtain current post secondary information on colleges, technical schools, financial aid, and the military. We also utilize a web-based career development site, which provides current and comprehensive college and career information and is available to all students. The high school years are a time of many challenges for the individual student. These challenges come in the form of classroom achievement, selection of and preparation for careers and higher education, pressure to use drugs and alcohol, loss within a family, acceptance by peers and family, and countless others. As counselors, we work with students to help them cope with these demands, to think globally, and to make good choices in their lives. We encourage parents to become involved in their children’s education. Although counselors are available for support and to provide assistance in course selections, overcoming personal obstacles, and exploring career alternatives, it is ultimately the responsibility of parents and students to monitor educational planning and, along with the Pupil Services Department, assure successful completion of graduation requirements. 3

Career Clusters ~ Focusing Education on the Future Elkhorn High School is proud to utilize Career Clusters in our College and Career Planning Guide. Staff have researched Career Clusters and identified pathways that are currently offered at Elkhorn. To date 13 plans of studies have been developed and verified with two and four year colleges. Staff is currently working on additional plans of studies as our curriculum expands.
The Concept of Career Clusters
Career Clusters started in the U.S. Department of Education with many partners from education, business, industry and government. The 16 clusters represent groupings of occupations and industries that represent the world of work. They created the clusters based on common knowledge and skills. Career Clusters have been embraced nationally at the secondary and post-secondary level. (The Department of Public Instruction has continued to work with high schools and is continuously improving strategies for Wisconsin schools). More information on career clusters can be found at www.wicareerpathways.org.
Why Career Clusters?
Career Clusters prepare students for the information age as schools, colleges, and employers are striving for higher achievement in science, math and communication for their 21st century workforce. One key to improving student achievement is providing students with relevant contexts for studying and learning. Career Clusters offer a context by linking school-based learning with the knowledge and skills required for continued success from high school to work or postsecondary education. Students may use Career Clusters to investigate a wide range of career choices. The Career Cluster approach makes it easier for students to understand the relevance of their required courses and helps them select their elective courses more wisely.
More Relevant
Sometimes students struggle to find the relevance that coursework will have on their future. To often students graduate unprepared for challenging careers and the rigors of continued learning. Elkhorn Area High School promotes student success by relating students’ educational experiences to their future goals and aspirations. Seeing the relevance of education, more students may reach high levels of performance, thus closing the achievement gaps.

EAHS Post-Secondary Planning In general, technical colleges have “open door” admissions policies, meaning they will accept all students who are high school graduates or at least eighteen years of age. Some programs of study have additional entrance requirements - check the specific program descriptions for these requirements. The following are the minimum UW System College Preparatory Course Requirements. Some University of Wisconsin System Schools and private colleges may require more.
ENGLISH: 4 years of high school English, including composition and literature. SOCIAL STUDIES: 3 years of social science/history. MATHEMATICS: 3 yrs of mathematics including algebra, geometry, and advanced algebra. NATURAL SCIENCES: 3 years of natural sciences, including at least one unit of laboratory science, such as biology, chemistry or physics. Courses with a strong laboratory component are strongly recommended and are even required by some universities. Academic Electives: 4 more years of academic classes which may be taken from any of the above areas or foreign languages, and an additional two years of academic classes which may be taken from the above classes, including foreign language, computer science, fine arts, or other subjects which are accepted by a specific campus. Two years of a single foreign language are required for admission to UW-Eau Claire and UW-Madison, and may meet graduation requirements at other UW system campuses. Admission requirements for universities vary from school to school. Students and parents must assume the responsibility of becoming knowledgeable about the Freshman Admission Guidelines and of planning an appropriate high school program. DUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES: Advanced Standing Courses Through an agreement with area high schools, Gateway awards credits for certain courses taken at the high school level. As a rule, students must have earned a B (3.0) or better in the high school course. It is also possible for qualified high school students to enroll in a higher level Gateway course with the consent of the program advisor. Upon successful completion, the student will be awarded advanced standing for the lower level course. Transcripted Courses Elkhorn High School has partnered with Gateway Technical College to establish transcripted/dual credit courses. Transcripted courses allow students to receive two transcripts, one from Elkhorn and one from the partnering institution. Transcripted courses have the grade and credit automatically registered at the partner college on a college transcript.
Project Lead the Way is Elkhorn High School’s Pathway To Engineering™ & Biomedical Science As a Certified PLTW program Elkhorn is pleased to offer transcripted/dual credit to the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) for all offered PLTW courses. PLTW’s hands-on, activities, project, problem based (APPB) comprehensive curriculum is aligned with relevant national standards and is collaboratively developed and updated by subject matter experts - including teachers, university educators, engineering and biomedical professionals and school administrators.
29
PLTW’s programs emphasize critical thinking, creativity, innovation and real-world problem solving. The hands-on learning engages students on multiple levels, exposes them to areas of study that they may not otherwise pursue and provides them with a foundation and proven path to post-secondary training and career success in STEM related field.
Advanced Placement Program (AP) Another dual credit program is the Advanced Placement Program (AP). Advanced Placement is a program of rigorous college level courses and exams that gives Elkhorn Area High School students the opportunity to earn advanced placement and/or credit in college. The content of these classes is established by the college board which supervises the program. (At the end of the year the students take an examination which is paid for by the student). The AP grade reports are submitted to a college which may or may not accept the results for college credit. The Advanced Placement examinations, given in May, are based on courses with exceptionally high standards of achievement as outlined by the College Board. The exams contain both multiple choice and free response questions that require essay writing, problem solving and other skills. The benefits of of AP courses are multifaceted. They begin with helping the student adjust to the rigors of college/ university courses; the pace, the amount of work and time involved and the high expectations of the instructors. They continue with rigorous, challenging course work and successful completion (passing AP exam) culminates with the student receiving credit, advanced placement or both at most colleges and universities. Students are also able to enroll in a high level course at college as freshmen. This not only translates into time saved, but also a financial savings for each credit earned while in high school. The amount of credit received varies, depending on the college/ university, the AP score and the subject. As a result, all students planning to apply and enroll in a University are strongly encouraged to take at least one AP course in their Sophomore, Junior and Senior year.
PIE-Partners in Education University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Partners in Education (PIE) has partnered with EAHS as a way to deliver additional rigorous curriculum and dual high school/college credit options to students in a familiar high school environment. Students will be responsible for buying course textbooks. How are PIE courses different from Advanced Placement (AP) Classes? PIE courses are college courses, where earning a grade of 'C' or better enable a student to earn college credits that appear on an official UW-Whitewater transcript. AP courses are advanced high school level classes, after which a student takes a high stakes exam to earn college credit. Who can enroll in PIE? Juniors and seniors who meet at least one of the following requirements can enroll in PIE: Class rank in the top 25% A GPA of at least 3.25 on a 4.0 scale. An ACT score of 24 and a class ranking in the top 50%. Students who qualify for PIE fill out the PIE online application form, and once they are accepted can enroll as UW-Whitewater students for the PIE courses offered at EAHS.

YOUTH OPTIONS PROGRAM Wisconsin’s Youth Options Program allows public high school juniors and seniors who meet certain requirements to take post-secondary courses at a UW institution, a Wisconsin technical college or one of the state’s participating private nonprofit institutions of higher education. Under Youth Options, a student will not have to pay for a college course if the school board determines the course qualifies for high school credit and is not comparable to a course already offered in the school district. Youth Options is a separate program and should not be confused with other programs which provide high school students an opportunity to earn college credit, such as the College Board’s Advance Placement program, special service contracts with colleges and universities (CAPP), educational television programs, International Baccalaureate programs, UW-Extension courses, or correspondence courses. By March 1, for the fall semester, and by October 1, for the spring semester, pupils must notify the principal of their intention to participate in the program. The participating pupil must be enrolled in a public school. While a pupil may apply for the program while in 10th grade, he or she must be in the 11th or 12th grade to be eligible for the Youth Options Program. Pupils must apply for admission to a post-secondary institution during the school semester prior to enrollment. They must meet admission standards and application deadlines established by the post-secondary institution for participating in this program. At the time a pupil attains 12th grade status, as determined by the school board of the district in which the pupil is enrolled, the pupil would be eligible to participate in the Youth Options Program for no more than two consecutive semesters. Please see your school counselor for information and an application. * SCHOOL BOARD POLICY: If a student receives a failing grade or fails to complete (drop) a course for which the school district has made payment, the school board will request reimbursement for all costs related to this course. The board will request reimbursement from the student if he or she is an adult or from the student’s parent/guardian. Students who fail to provide reimbursement for a dropped or failed course as described above are not eligible for participation in the Youth Option Program. This policy also applies to Alternative High School students taking Gateway Technical College course through the Senior Skills Program.
SPECIAL SCHEDULING OPTIONS: CO-OP .5 to 2 credits The Cooperative Education Skill Standards Certificate Program is a school-supervised one-year paid work experience for students studying in one of the career and technical education content areas and for which the student has a career goal: marketing, business, agriculture, family and consumer education, technology education and health occupations. The work-based experience is combined with related classroom instruction. At Elkhorn Area High School, the related instruction is available in the following areas: - Independent Study - Agribusiness Co-op - Business Co-op Upon successful completion, students can earn advanced standing at various post-secondary schools.
31
YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP 1-2 credits Coordinated through teachers, school counselors and Elkhorn’s School-to-Work Coordinator, Youth Apprenticeship students must be in good academic standing, have excellent attendance and have taken a coherent sequence of related coursework. Upon completion of 450 hours of related work and completion of a competency checklist, students are granted a Level 1 YA Certificate by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. A 2-year program with successful completion of 900 hours of work-based learning and a 2-year Competency Checklist earns students a Certificate of Occupational Proficiency from DWD. Many programs also carry advanced standing through the Wisconsin Technical College System.

REGISTRATION: SCHEDULE CHANGES Each year a new master schedule is created to accomodate students’ course requests. Faculty members are employed, textbooks are purchaed, and rooms are assigned based on these requests. In late spring course verification forms are mailed home so that parents and students can view them and make corrections, if necessary. Upon receipt of the course verification form, parents and students will have a narrow window to make modifications to the courses seleted. Changes in elective choices may not be approved after course verification forms have been sent home. Schedule change requests will be considered for educational reasons only and honored as space is available. Students must remain in the class until their schedule has been changed by their counselor. COURSE LEVEL CHANGES On occasion, students may need to change the level of the class in which they are enrolled. Level changes are a collaborative effort between parents, the student, the teacher, and the school counselor and cannot be approved until all parties involved have been able to discuss the change. Level changes will be made whenever it is deemed appropriate. Before a course level change can be approved the student must: * Pick up a Course Level Change form available in the Guidance Office * Discuss the change with their current teacher, school counselor and parent * Complete the student portion of the form request that their teacher, parent and school counselor complete the appropriate parts of the form The letter grade earned at the time of the level change will accompany the student to the new class. DROPPING A COURSE A student’s request to drop a course may be considered if extraordinary circumstances warrant it and after the student, current teacher, parent, counselor and Principal/Designee agree by signing a course drop request. In cases in which dropping a course is approved, a grade of “WF” (Withdrawn/Fail) will be assigned to the course for the curent and future grade reports up to and including the semester. The “WF” will appear on transcripts as a semester grade and will be considered in GPA calculation. ADDING A COURSE Students may add a class in place of a PLT during the first five days of a semester if: * Space is available * The student’s schedule does not need to be rearranged * The change moves the student from a larger class to a smaller class with the same teacher * Adding a Dual Credit Course
