PUBLIC SERVICES CTE/NON-CTE COMPARISON


To satisfy the Non-CTE path in the Public Services Endorsement, students must select four credits in Army, Navy, or Air Force ROTC.

One example of how a student could satisfy the Non-CTE path for the Public Services Endorsement is as follows: Completion of ROTC I-IV.


To satisfy the CTE path in the Public Services Endorsement, students must select four credits from the following clusters:

Education & Training Human Services Law, Public Safety, Security & Corrections Health Sciences

When selecting courses, students must select two from ONE cluster within the Public Services Endorsement; one advanced CTE course from any cluster in the Public Services area; and one final course from within the endorsement. The final course cannot be considered an entry level course.

One example of how a student could satisfy the CTE path for the Public Services Endorsement is as follows: Principles of Human Services (1credit) (Human Services Cluster); Child Development (1 Credit) (Human Services Cluster); Forensic Science (1 Credit) (Law, Public Safety Cluster, Advanced CTE, and counts as 4th science credit); Criminal Investigations (1 credit) (Law, Public Safety Cluster)

For a comprehensive list of all courses in the Public Services Endorsement, see course list in this section of the guide. For course descriptions, please refer to the High School Course Description Guide (CDG). For grade level requirements and credit values, see the cumulative course list in the Appendix of this guide.

NOTE: When determining whether a CTE course is advanced or entry level, the following rules apply to the course lists in the back of this guide. Any course in ALL CAPS AND BOLD are considered

advanced CTE courses. Any course in red is an entry level course and should NOT be selected as the final course in the sequence. Advanced designations do not apply to NON-CTE courses.

STEM CTE/NON-CTE COMPARISON


To satisfy the Non-CTE path in the STEM Endorsement, students must select a coherent sequence of credits from one of the following options:o Four credits in Computer Science; ORo Two additional Math credits for which Algebra II is a prerequisite; ORo Two additional Science credits (does not include Integrated Physics &

Chemistry); ORo Three additional credits from no more than two of the following disciplines:

Computer Science, Science, Mathematics, or CTE

One example of how a student could satisfy the Non-CTE path for STEM is as follows: Algebra II, Precalculus, AP Statistics, and Engineering Math.


To satisfy the CTE path in the STEM Endorsement, students must select four credits from the STEM clusters.

When selecting courses, students must select two from THE SAME cluster within the STEM Endorsement; one advanced CTE course from the STEM cluster; and one final course from within the STEM endorsement. The final course cannot be considered an entry level course.

One example of how a student could satisfy the CTE path in the STEM Endorsement is as follows: Principles of Biosciences (1 credit); Engineering Design & Problem Solving (Bioscience) (1.0 credit); Engineering Mathematics (1 credit); and Robotics 1(1.0 credit).

For a comprehensive list of all courses in the STEM Endorsement, see the Appendix at the back of this guide. For course descriptions, please refer to the High School Course Description Guide (CDG). For grade level requirements and credit values, see the cumulative course list in the Appendix of this guide.

NOTE: When determining whether a CTE course is advanced or entry level, the following rules apply to the course lists in the back of this guide.
