BOARD AGENDA ITEM


Item Title:Approval of Secondary Course Descriptions: AP Computer Science Principles CTE 2, Computer Science Principles CTE 2, and Computer Science Discoveries CTE 1
Item Type:Consent
Background:

This item proposes the renaming of two existing secondary courses within an established Career Technical Education (CTE) Pathway.

 

The first current course name is Computer Science Principles CTE Honors. The proposed name would incorporate the ‘AP’ designation to reflect the Advanced Placement status of the course.

 

AP Computer Science Principles CTE 2:

Prerequisite: Computer Science Discoveries CTE 1

Elective/Required: CTE Pathway Elective

Grade Level: 10-12

Subject Area: CTE

Length: One year

Credits: 10

Proposed by: Alameda High School

 

The second current course name is Computer Science Principles CTE. The proposed name would be Computer Science Principles CTE 2.

 

Computer Science Principles CTE 2:

Prerequisite: Computer Science Discoveries CTE 1

Elective/Required: CTE Pathway Elective

Grade Level: 10-12

Subject Area: CTE

Length: One year

Credits: 10

Proposed by: Alameda High School

 

Also proposed is a new secondary course within the same CTE Pathway that would serve as the prerequisite to AP Computer Science Principles CTE 2 and Computer Science Principles CTE 2.
