ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
This three-section document contains the model curriculum standards, program framework, and process guide that will assist schools in California in providing career-vocational education programs that are responsive to a world marketplace characterized by constantly changing technology. The standards and frameworks can be implemented to provide a K-12 sequenced curriculum that is coordinated and articulated to form a total program. The standards address general employability, occupational clusters, job-specific skills, and student leadership skills. In addition, they complement and reinforce the core academic skills that are applicable to each of the career models. The guide's first section, the model program framework, sets forth the broad conceptual components of the program and defines the application of each component. The model curriculum standards section describes in detail the objectives, application, and organization of the model standards. Each standard is organized in a format that includes an initial statement, the standard, and academic core skills enhancement. Standards are provided for children, for explorations, and for specialized fields. The curriculum process guide section provides information on: (1) the curriculum comparison process; (2) using the state model to construct a course outline; (3) using the model curriculum standards to construct a lesson plan; and (4) teacher-developed student materials. Appendices provide: (1) California Basic Educational Data System codes; (2) a program sequence example; (3) sample district course outline; (4) a glossary; and (5) 30 references. (KC)

A Framework for K-12 Science Education
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309214459
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.
