Can specialized high school career and technical education courses be used to meet credit requirements in the standards areas of English language arts, social studies, mathematics, and science?
Yes. Specialized courses develop a subject in greater depth and provide local school districts with flexibility to provide multiple pathways to achieving the learning standards. Students may begin career and technical education studies at any point in their high school career. However, a specialized career and technical education course can be used to fulfill unit of credit requirements in core learning standards areas after a student passes the required State assessments in the core subjects as outlined in CRR 100.5(b) (7) (iv). The following criteria must be met: • the career and technical education course must meet commencement level learning standards of the core area; • the course must be taught by a teacher certified in at least one of the subject areas involved (career and technical education or the core subject); and • the superintendent or his/her designee must approve the use of the specialized course. Courses meeting these criteria should be approved by the local board of ed
