February is Career Technical Education Month
CTE Month is a nationwide awareness and celebration highlighting the positive opportunities for career exploration and career skills development that career technical education offers for all students and our communities.
The 2013 theme, "Career and Technical Education Works!" emphasizes the effectiveness of CTE in preparing students to be both college and career ready by providing core academic skills, employability skills and technical, job-specific skills.
Imagine a world without nurses, computer technicians, construction managers, dentists, preschool teachers, police officers, chefs, fire fighters, or entrepreneurs. While in high school, students have the opportunity to take CTE courses taught by industry professionals that could be the inspiration for their future careers. Coastline ROP offers CTE courses at 26 high schools within five local school districts. Our courses are designed for ALL students due to a combination of academic knowledge and technical education, which provides students with a pathway to post-secondary education and/or a successful career.
Classes on our campus include: Art of Animation, Culinary Arts, E-Marketing, Entertainment Art, Film and Digital Media Studies, and Visual Imagery. Many other classes are offered in the afternoon and evening throughout our five partnering school districts. Contact your Career Specialist, Kathleen Shannon, in the Career Center for more information.
Everyone should enroll in an ROP class, because
Career and Technical Education Works!
Coastline ROP offers CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION
Facts About Career and Technical Education - Students taking CTE Courses are less likely to drop out of high school and pursue post-secondary education.
- (Plank et al, "Dropping Out of High School and the Place of Career and Technical Education," 2005.)
- Students at schools with highly integrated rigorous academic and CTE programs have significantly higher achievement in reading, mathematics and science than do students at schools with less integrated programs. (Southern Regional Education Board, "Linking Career/Technical Studies to Broader High School Reform," 2004.)
- CTE students are significantly more likely than their non-CTE counterparts to report that they developed problem-solving, project completion, research, math, college application, work-related, communication, time management, and critical thinking skills during high school.
- (Lekes et al, "Career and Technical Education Pathway Programs, Academic Performance, and the Transition to College and Career," 2007.)
- Career and technical education (CTE) prepares students for a wide range of careers and further educational opportunities. These careers may require varying levels of education - including industry-recognized credentials, post secondary certificates, and two-and four-year degrees
- CTE is at the forefront of preparing students to be "college-and career-ready."
- CTE equips students with:
- Core Academic Skills and the ability to apply those skills to concrete situations in order to function in the workplace and in routine daily activities
- Employability Skills (such as critical thinking and responsibility) that are essential in any career area
- Job-specific, Technical Skills related to a specific career pathway

COMMUNITY SERVICE
Welcome Back Sailors!
Volunteering is an expression of support for a principle that strikes to the heart of many people. Working together we can make a difference and make the world a better place.
Volunteerism empowers individuals and helps build a more cohesive society. Volunteering enables one to play a vital role in supporting the American culture; citizenship; responsibility and service. Everyone has skills and talents they can give. In a study conducted by The Corporation for National and Community Services, there are over 7.0 million volunteers per year in the state of California. That's 964 million hours of service per year equating to approximately 34.1 hours per resident. That's amazing!
The purpose of the NMUSD community service program is to provide all high school students the opportunity to have a positive impact in our community while learning that service to others is an on-going part of life. 40 hours of community service is a requirement for graduation in NMUSD. It is recommended that students complete a minimum of 10 hours of community service each year. Students mayaccumulate more than 10 hours per year. Students are advised to complete the community service requirement prior to their senior year. Please take note of the following guidelines when performing your service:
- Community Service hours must be completed at a non-profit organization
- A student may volunteer for a single organization or at a variety of organizations
- Students are encouraged to complete their hours in areas related to their personal interests
- Paid experiences do not qualify
- Working without pay at your job or for a family business does not qualify
- Court ordered community service will be accepted for up to 20 hours of the required 40 hours
- Students can earn a maximum of 20 hours through a sport, school related activity (i.e.: theater, school newspaper, yearbook, tutoring, etc. - all hours must be performed outside of school hours and should not count towards any school credit)
- Students cannot earn hours for donating items or money - only their time.
- When a student transfers from one NMUSD school to another, the community service Hours will be forwarded to the receiving school.
- The community service requirement will be prorated for students transferring into an NMUSD high school (5 hours per semester of attendance
