NEWS FROM ROP
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 & 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
- Employ-ability Skills (such as critical thinking and responsibility) that are essential in any career area
- Job-specific, Technical Skills related to a specific career pathway
