Pathways

Georgia’s 11 Concentrations:• 54 Pathways

Federal 16 Career Clusters:• 79 Pathways

Pathways with Internships

• Work-Based Learning courses are not part of the specified three course sequence in a pathway.

• Some pathways have a fourth course option that is an internship with specified standards for the training plan. The WBL Coordinator may or may not be involved in these courses.

Pathway Internships

• Fourth course option only

• Not a WBL course enrollment; the course number does not have a “7” after the decimal

• The teacher/supervisor must be certified in the specified field.

WBL Internships• Unlike the internship courses that are part of

the pathways, when students are enrolled in an internship course under one of the WBL numbers (containing the “7” after the decimal), the training plan and course content is established by the employer, WBL coordinator and student. Students enrolled in these courses may be supervised by the WBL coordinator.

WBL in Pathways and Concentrations

• The work-based learning courses that have the "7" right after the decimal are never to be used as one of the first three courses that define a pathway (for purposes of determining a pathway completer) but can be part of a student’s concentration in any CTAE area. A pathway completer must complete the exact three courses specified in the pathway, and pathways do not include courses in the three course sequence.

In Summary• A WBL enrollment should count in any CTAE concentration

provided the WBL placement criteria is adhered to. The WBL Placement Criteria is pages 6-4 through 6-14 in the CRE Manual.

• WBL courses are not part of the specified three course sequence that define a pathway completer.

• WBL courses count as a fourth course option in any pathway. • WBL enrollment does not count as part of the three course

sequence that makes up a pathway.• Some pathways have a fourth course option that is an internship

with specified standards for the training plan.

State Approved Courses forWork Based Learning

• Students should be enrolled in the state approved course appropriate for the career concentration or pathway the WBL placement is linked to. Course numbers are specified in two State Board Rules:

160-4-2-.03 LIST OF STATE-FUNDED K-8 SUBJECTS AND 9-12 COURSES

160-4-2-.20 LIST OF STATE FUNDED K-8 SUBJECTS AND 9-12 COURSES FOR STUDENTS ENTERING NINTH GRADE IN 2008

CIP Codes• The format of the state approved course numbers is

related to the national Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) index. Appendix A of State Board Rule contains a list of state funded courses currently included in high school graduation rule. The state approved course lists can be found at the following website:

http://www.gadoe.org/pea_board.aspx?PageReq=PEABoardRules

Course Numbering for Youth Apprenticeship Programs

• Prior to February, 2008 Youth Apprenticeship course numbers used the “7” as the first digit to the right of the decimal.

• In February 2008, the State Board approved a new numbering system creating a series of generic Work-Based Learning (WBL) course numbers which replaced the old YAP numbering system.

• Beginning in the FY2008-2009 school year, the old YAP course numbering system became obsolete which requires the use of the WBL course numbers for all YAP students.

Course Numbers for School-Wide WBL Coordinators

• In February, 2008 the State Board of Education approved course numbers to be used for enrolling students in Work-Based Learning. These course numbers are specified in State Board Rule 160-4-2-.20 which can be found at the following website:

http://www.gadoe.org/pea_board.aspx?PageReq=PEABoardRules • Work-Based Learning course numbers are a “generic” number

that may be applied to all CTAE concentrations for enrolling students in any category of work-based learning.

New Course NumbersXX.7 7 = WORK-BASED LEARNING A 7 as the first numerical digit to the right of the decimal indicates that students taking the course are participating in a work based learning program. State Board of Education Rule 160-4-3-.13 CAREER RELATED EDUCATION describes the requirements necessary for students to participate in the work-based learning program that include only students in grades 10-12. Work-based programs may be designated in each CTAE pathway using the chart below. The five digits to the right of the decimal used in conjunction with the 7 will be applied to the two digit whole number that indicates the Program CIP code number. Using this system, student enrollments are possible in all CTAE pathways for up to 3 credits in each WBL placement.

WBL Course Numbers

XX.711400Insert the CIP code for the concentration/pathway that the WBL placement is related to.

The first digit past the decimal is “7” for all WBL enrollments using this system. Reminder: All YAP enrollments must use this system.

A “1” in the second digit indicates the students first year of enrollment, whereas a “2” indicates the second year.

A “1” in the third digit indicates semester one, whereas a “2” indicates semester two.

4 = one period/block/credit.5 = two periods/blocks/credits.6 = three period/blocks/credits.

Last two digits for local use. May be used to create a unique number for each period in the student’s schedule.
