High School CTE At-A-Glance

The Riverside County Office of Education Career Technical Education (CTE) offers career

preparation training to high school and adult students who are residents of Riverside County. In 2012, CTE received a six (6) year accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

CTE currently offers training in more than 115 courses based upon current and future labor market demands. Programs are focused on those career sectors where there is proven local industry demand and sufficient student interest and need.

Why take a CTE course?CTE courses are sequenced to create pathways for students in a course of study which can lead to employment and/or post-secondary education opportunities.

Experience is the best teacher and that industry experience is one of the unique qualifications that our teachers bring to the classroom. CTE can help you get the experience needed to get a job of your choice, help you upgrade your skills, or train completely in a new field. Many classes include the opportunity to actually do your training in a community-based business.

Who can enroll?CTE class offerings have been expanded to include opportunities to grades 9-12. Some classes have special requirements and/or age prerequisites. Please inquire with your high school guidance office regarding any special requirements.

How are CTE classes taught?CTE classes are conducted in classrooms equipped to industry standards or in some cases actual business and industry locations. Classes are a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training taught by highly-qualified professionals from the industry who are credentialed through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to teach in their areas of expertise.

Can I get credit for taking CTE classes?CTE offers many UC a-g approved courses. Some courses are articulated with the local community colleges and offer students the opportunity for post-secondary credit.

Will I get a job?Your CTE course will include employment job search skills. Many courses offer internships and on-the-job training with local businesses.

How can I enroll?For additional information, contact your high school counselor, guidance office, or visit our website at: www.rcoe.us.

Using Perkins Guidelines and Instructions and the CTE Framework, the following definitions are utilized in course sequences and pathways:

Pathway – Designed to provide students with a non-duplicative sequence of progressive achievement leading to technical skill proficiency, a credential, a certificate, or a degree.

CTE Course Sequencing – Refer to CALPADS guidelines for pathway sequencing. A pathway sequence is defined as a set of at least two course offerings—concentrator and capstone, which fall within the SAME pathway. The sequence may include the following: 1). Introductory course (can apply to many pathways in a sector). 2). Concentrator course (should only be used for ONE pathway). 3). Capstone course (can only be used for ONE pathway). The total hours of training for a capstone completer is 300 hours.

Introductory – Preliminary course, beginning level containing introductory concepts required to build foundational and general knowledge.

Concentrator – A CTE course beyond the introductory level that is intended to provide more in-depth instruction in and exploration of a specific industry sector.

Capstone – The final course in a planned sequence of courses that provides a rigorous and intensive culmination of a course of study.

Industry Sector: Agriculture and Natural Resources

Agriculture Science, Mechanics, Animal Science, and Plant and Soil Science Pathways

Students have opportunities to learn about several aspects of this industry: agricultural business

operations and management including accounting, finance, economics, business organization, marketing and sales; mechanics related to construction, operations, and maintenance of equipment (woodworking, electrical systems, plumbing, cold metal work, concrete, small engines, and welding technology); animal science for large, small and specialty animals exploring diet, genetics, habitat and behavior to create humane, ecologically, and economically sustainable animal production systems; and plant and soil science topics such as plant classification, physiology, reproduction, plant breeding, biotechnology and pathology for soil management, water, pests and equipment for cultural and harvest practices.

Course Title: Agricultural Projects

Course Description: The purpose of this course is to provide a practical laboratory in which students can apply classroom knowledge to real life work-related activities. Students must design and carry out a Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE) project. Projects may be work experience, either paid or unpaid, they may be entrepreneurial (ownership) in nature, or they may be a scientific experiment with appropriate parameters. As part of their SAE experience, students keep detailed records of their project/work activities in a California Agriculture Record Book. Students achieving advanced FFA degrees and/or proficiency awards will be expected to participate in the appropriate awards application process.

*Prerequisite: Ability to provide transportation to internship site.

Course Title: Agriculture Biology

Course Description: This course is designed to provide instruction in economic principles, marketing systems, sales and service, global marketing, and environmental impacts of the Agriculture Industry. Students will engage in real world applications and develop leadership skills.

This course will provide training in the following areas: disease control, laboratory testing, animal systems, animal health technology, general nutrition, animal housing and hygiene, clinical laboratory procedures, animal grooming, safety procedures and practices in handling of animals, basic veterinary office procedures, medical terminology, breed identification, surgical nursing, parasitology, and vaccinations.


Course Title: Art & History of Floral Design

Course Description: This course is designed for students who have an interest in agriculture and the concepts and practices of floral design. It includes the study of the principles of design used in floral composition. Students will be provided an opportunity to understand the basic principles of design as well as the design process and implement this process through the medium of floral materials. Students will be able to identify multiple flowers and foliage; and prepare fresh and permanent floral arrangements. Hands-on laboratory experiences will allow students to practice the art of floral design.

Course Title: Plant and Soil Science

Course Description: This course is taught in theory, principles and a laboratory setting and is designed to prepare students for careers related to the field of plants and soil science. Students will learn about the structure, growth processes, propagation, physiology, growth media, biological competitors and post-harvest factors of food, fiber, and plants. Students will be expected to participate in course projects propagating plants.


Course Title: RCOE Agricultural Mechanics

Course Description: Agriculture Mechanics is an academically challenging course that integrates mathematics, science, writing and mechanics. Specific units include: Using the Ag Mechanics Shop, Measurement, Project Planning, Electricity and Electronics, Plumbing Systems and Water Use, Concrete and Masonry, Arc Welding, Power Mechanics, and Careers. Students will focus on understanding theory of the preceding areas, as well as mastery of application of these theories. Students will exceed core academic knowledge and demonstrate critical thinking skills as they apply their knowledge to projects, real-life scenarios, and case studies. Students will perform advanced research in various fields. A variety of resources will be accessed (Internet, professional journals, books, and industry professionals) for the purpose of creating written and oral presentations that demonstrate students’ knowledge and ability. Units covered in this course will build upon existing knowledge where applicable. End of unit projects will incorporate, at minimum, the knowledge acquired from at least one other previously covered unit. For example, students will learn about the properties of water in Unit 5, then utilize that understanding when they look at how water plays a role in the hydration of concrete in Unit 6. Throughout the course, students will be graded on participation in intra-curricular FFA activities as well as the development and maintenance of an ongoing Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program. This course has received approval from the University of California for entrance requirement in the “g” category.
