Product: Edgenuity Career and Technical Education

A vital part of education today is preparing students for life beyond graduation. High schools are expected to

change the type of education available to students, but often times do not have the resources they need to equip

students with the knowledge and skills needed to determine career interests or prepare for today’s careers.

Edgenuity’s full suite of career and technical education (CTE) courses provide a way for schools to offer courses

and programs that would not otherwise be available, enabling middle-school and high-school students to explore

exciting careers through online and blended learning.

Our philosophy of engaging, interactive courses is embedded throughout the CTE curriculum. Through interactive

tasks, vocabulary-building tools and engaging assignments, students explore, plan and train for the jobs of

tomorrow. Developed with industry experts, the courses offer students essential instruction in the fastest-growing

industries and jobs.

The CTE courses:

Provide digital content for anytime, anywhere learning

Help schools and districts offer programs in a blended learning environment

Allow students to progress at their own pace

Appeal to “digital native” students via engaging, hands-on educational models

While students master the core subjects of English, math, social studies, and science, they can also prepare for

the real world by complementing their education with CTE opportunities in career electives that help students

explore a variety of careers, and career pathways that allow students to focus on a particular career of interest.

Career Electives

Aligned to iNACOL standards, the career elective courses provide students with an engaging introduction to

careers and the world of work. Understanding that students “learn by doing,” Edgenuity coupled hands-on

projects with interactive tools to help students identify and explore their interests and skills. The curriculum helps

students develop everything from pre-employment skills and a career plan to technical skills and financial literacy.

Career electives courses include the following:

3D Art I – Modeling

Course alignments can be easily accessed through the learning management system where state standards

apply. Standards appear for students on the Course Map page, before the start of each lesson. Teachers have

several ways to access standards alignments through the teacher portal. They may view the standards covered in

each lesson in the course, or they may view the entire standards document with the lessons listed that meet each

standard.

Curriculum Overview

Edgenuity’s full suite of CTE courses offers students an educational environment that integrates core academics

with real-world applicability.

Our best-in-class technology platform and online and blended learning options can accommodate varying

academic and career objectives for middle and high school students.

The power of our CTE solutions is reflected in:

Rigorous, engaging, career-relevant coursework

Highly structured, purposeful instruction

Inspired teaching from supplemental online teachers

Empowerment for classroom teachers to enhance productivity

Collaborative student learning environment

Robust reporting tools

Embedded support for differentiated instruction

Flexible and affordable software to reach out to a critical mass of students who may be under-enrolled or

unsuccessful in traditional brick-and-mortar schools

The curriculum enables students to discover pathways, qualifications, education, and training associated with all

16 U.S. Department of Labor Career Clusters™. Available for online and blended learning environments, the

courses include hands-on software projects, plus grading rubrics and project exemplars to support teacher

evaluation of projects.


Students complete a skills/interest inventory that identifies qualifications, education, and training needed for

career interests.

Our innovative Pathways were designed to equip students with the skills they need for careers in healthcare, IT,

and business fields. In addition, the CTE curriculum was designed to prepare students for certification exams,

giving them tangible and credible training and endorsement for their résumés.


The courses require students to interact with content and ideas in order to summarize, clarify understanding,

explain concepts, elaborate, and/or synthesize information.

Course features include:

• Lessons contain video instruction and unit introductions and summaries by highly qualified teachers who

are field experts.

• As students work independently, each lesson contains instructor audio to guide student understanding.

• To promote inquiry and a focus on big ideas, every lesson includes a guiding lesson question that is

aligned to each lesson’s objectives.

• Interactive tasks are present throughout each lesson, and also serve as formative assessments. These

tasks give students the opportunity to check their understanding and provide immediate feedback to help

clarify understanding.

• Cumulative assignments at the end of each lesson provide students with the opportunity to relate the

information they have learned to the major lesson objectives.

• Vocabulary support is provided throughout the course to help students comprehend common acronyms,

terms, and phrases.

The following is a sample of the many ways that students interact with the curriculum as they progress through

the CTE courses.

Course and Unit Introductions

A highly qualified teacher introduces courses and units by explaining the major concepts and making real-world

connections in engaging instructional videos.

Warm-up

Each lesson begins with a warm-up activity that provokes student thinking and orients students toward the central

concepts at the heart of the lesson. The warm-up activity presents the guiding question for the lesson, the lesson

goals, key vocabulary, and a brief description of how students will answer the lesson question as they meet the

goals for the lesson.


The warm-up is often accompanied by a short check for understanding to help students explore the new topic or

concept on their own for a deeper understanding and connection with prior knowledge.

Instruction

The courses are organized into manageable segments so students work at a pace just right for them, reviewing

lesson content as needed.

A highly qualified, certified teacher provides direct instruction, explains concepts, models strategies, and makes

real-world connections in engaging instructional videos.


The course utilizes a variety of instructional strategies in the lessons, including the following:

Inquiry

Scaffolding

Real-world scenarios

Comparing and Contrasting

Key words for enhancing subject-specific vocabulary

Academic and domain-specific vocabulary is emphasized and studied in every lesson.

Instruction is engaging for students, employing visual graphic organizers, maps, charts, and photos to support

understanding of complex ideas and concepts. Through a mixture of these presentations and accessible tasks,

students learn new concepts and meet lesson objectives. Students can stop the lesson at any time to reflect and

record information in their eNotes, a built-in note-taking tool available throughout instruction. This tool scaffolds

the note-taking process for students, helping them to pull out the important parts of the lesson and enter them into

their notes. Students can print their notes and use them to complete assignments and study for exams. The

course glossary and lesson transcripts are also available to aid in comprehension and note-taking where

necessary.


Reflection questions throughout instruction help students focus on big ideas. Lesson questions provide immediate

feedback, highlight key concepts, and help students develop their critical thinking skills. Throughout, students

interact with multimedia stimuli, including maps, charts, graphs, photographs, and videos.

Summary

The lessons include a summary after instruction to help students to remain focused on the objectives for the

lesson by highlighting the major concepts students will practice in the assignments and review.

Assignment

Assignments ensure students master key concepts and develop their analytical and critical thinking skills. They

include various activities that further the learning objectives and complement the instruction by supplying

additional points of view, contexts, examples, principles, and problem-solving approaches. In addition, students

may complete interactive activities that allow them to investigate topics in greater depth. Students also access

supplemental readings such as best-in-class online resources that provide additional perspectives on the topics

covered in the lesson.

In the assignment, students may complete the following activities:

Practice what they have learned through one or more tasks or focused activities

Read and analyze texts

Write a response to a prompt

Explore a topic to extend their learning and enhance their understanding

Create a product to demonstrate research skills and mastery of content learning, such as a multimedia

presentation, brochure, or poster


Checks for Understanding

Interspersed throughout each lesson, students reflect on what they learn for deeper understanding in short

checks for understanding.

Interactive Practice

Interactives and tools allow students to practice what they learn, helping them apply concepts and skills in

different ways.


Open-Ended Response

Throughout each course, students are required to express their knowledge and skills in open-ended prompts

presented to assess comprehension of lesson content or supplemental reading. In the following example,

students practice their skills in understanding shorthand used in a prescription.

Real-World Scenarios

Students apply their knowledge and skills to the analysis of real-world scenarios in each unit.

Performance Task

Students demonstrate understanding by applying what they have learned to performance tasks involving real-

world scenarios. In the example below, students create a budget that includes calculating their income and

managing their overall expenses. First they analyze the components of a budget, then they calculate monthly

expenses, and then they use an online family budget estimator to calculate monthly expenses.


Independent Reading

Students extend learning by linking to extended reading assignments that help them to further explore major

concepts and new perspectives, and apply new information to real world scenarios.

When students access supplemental readings using the course’s translation and read aloud tool, they can

highlight text, insert sticky notes, and take notes as they read. As students read they can click on key words and

phrases to get the definition and/or teacher’s notes to guide comprehension and analysis.

The text is accompanied by a short application activity to deepen understanding.

Projects

Students create original products, such as multimedia presentations, self-assessments, projects, and hands-on

assignments, to demonstrate research skills and mastery of content learning. Students complete project-based

lessons that allow them to apply what they have leaned.

Below is an example of a multimedia presentation that requires students to research and express their knowledge

of the role of pharmacy technicians in a hospital environment.


Unit Wrap-Up

Each unit ends with a summary. The on-screen teacher reviews the guiding questions for each lesson and the

major concepts to help students prepare for the unit exam.

Assessment

Formative and summative assessments test for mastery and provide immediate, actionable feedback for students

and teachers.

Teachers can modify assessments to give students more time, change the passing thresholds, allow for additional

retakes, or adjust grade weights.

Assessment questions represent an even distribution along the full spectrum of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy and

Webb’s Depth of Knowledge. Students are assessed at the end of each lesson, unit, and semester in the

following formats:


Quiz

At the end of each lesson, students take a ten-question quiz. Each quiz assesses the learning objectives of that

lesson.

Unit Test

Students also take summative exams at the end of each unit. These tests allow students to demonstrate their

mastery of concepts before moving forward. Prior to the exam, students complete a full review of the key

concepts contained in the unit and can return to lessons for practice where necessary. The multiple-choice format

of the exam allows students to reinforce and relate to foundational concepts and to receive immediate feedback

about which lesson content they may need to revisit for greater comprehension.

Cumulative Exam

Students take a cumulative exam midway through the course, and another at the end of the course. The exam

consists of multiple-choice questions that build on main ideas and key concepts that are presented throughout

every unit. These provide students with an opportunity to exhibit mastery and long-term comprehension of themes

within the study of English language arts.

Student Tools and Supports

Students log in to their student lobby which includes a course list, course map, communication tools, organizers,

and resources. Before students begin they watch an introductory tutorial that familiarizes them with the features

and tools available through the student portal. The video and additional user resources are available for students

to reference at any time in the student organizer section of the student portal.

The My Course Info shows the students whether they are on target, behind schedule, or ahead of schedule for

course completion. It also graphically depicts students’ performance and course completion progress and reminds

the student of any pending assignments that must be completed before moving forward in the course. If students

feel they do not fully understand a concept, they can search the lesson database on this page to find additional

activities for supplemental practice.


Course Map

Standards alignments and lesson objectives for each lesson are provided for students on the Course Map page.

Objectives are also stated in the introduction of instruction and are restated in the conclusion of instruction.

Objectives are written in clear, student- friendly language and clearly state what students will know and be able to

do as a result of each lesson.

Toolbar

The student portal includes reference materials and tools for each course. Resources include: toolbar, translation

tool, glossary and lesson transcripts, captions, and the digital notebook.


The toolbar allows students to look up words in their courses, highlight text, insert notes and access a variety of

tools. Additional resources include course maps, assignment calendars, progress tracking, easy email

communication, and access to teacher reviews of notes and journals.

CloseReader

Within the toolbar is the translation and read aloud tool. The translation and read aloud tool supports the close

and active reading of text with text-mark up tools and language support. Texts written in the translation and

read aloud tool environment also include teacher’s notes, audio commentary, and comprehension

questions embedded in the reading to scaffold challenging text for readers of all levels. Read-aloud and

translation functionality must be enabled for students to see these options; other tools will appear for all students.

The following tools are available:

Dictionary: students can look up any unfamiliar word.

Notes: students can attach digital sticky notes to any section of text.

Concept vocabulary: students can click on words in green to see the definitions that pertain to key lesson

concepts.

Teacher’s notes: students can click on words and phrases in blue to see instructional notes that help

Progress Monitoring and Reporting

Robust tools embedded in our learning management system provide multiple means for monitoring student

progress and academic performance. Formative and summative assessments guide student progress and

powerful educator reports monitor student performance. The Dashboard alert system notifies teachers, in real

time, of students needing immediate attention.
