Standards Selected Rationale – Why did you choose this standard(s)? WI CTE Common Career Technical Standards (WCCTS): - CD3: Students will create and manage a flexible and responsive individualized learning plan to meet their career goals. These standards support what we have learned from graduate follow up studies for our high school. They show that even though 70% of seniors typically apply to and begin a baccalaureate program, less than half of those students return for a second year. A review of 3 year graduate trend data shows that within 3 years of high school graduation, 50% of graduates enroll at either Western or Chippewa Valley Technical College, with a 90% program completion rate. In keeping with Dr. Evers’ Agenda 2017, our CTE department has set a goal of increasing student awareness of post-secondary programs as reflected in their career exploration online portfolios housed in our career exploration software (WI Career Pathways). This goal will also support district work with the Academic and Career Planning Initiative. - IMT 1: Students will access, interpret and evaluate information from a variety of sources in order to inform and support premises, arguments, decisions, ideas and initiatives. Standards Selected Rationale – Why did you choose this standard(s)? CCSS: RST 2 for Reading – Determining central ideas; summarizing by paraphrasing – Determining meanings of domain-specific words/phrases in technical content – Journalizing accounts receivable transactions – Journalizing accounts payable transactions BT: AF1.d.5.h for BMIT – Journalizing transactions related to equity accounts One of the cornerstone tasks (final project assessment) for this class is for students to use their learning in the class to complete an accounting simulation. One of the many learning targets that are essential for success in this task is that students understand and can accurately interpret source documents associated with the simulation. They must be able to do this clearly and concisely. Therefore, the skill will be practiced and assessed used the attached rubric throughout the year and as a final project assessment.

Target CSOs: D.O.LII.6.01 (Create and perform a dance phrase containing three to five elements of choreography) and D.O.LII.6.02 (Create and perform a dance phrase using at least two choreographic principles). In a performance-based setting, the general student population has a limited understanding of choreographic principles. Standards Selected Rationale – Why did you choose this standard(s)?

Louisiana Visual Arts Benchmarks (Creative Expression) - CE-3 - Use the elements and principles of design for individual expression while exploring compositional problems - CE-5 - Produce imaginative works of art generated from individual and group ideas - CE-7 - Maintain a sketchbook or journal and develop a portfolio The basic and more advanced principles of drawing are the cornerstone of these courses (Art I and II). Providing many opportunities to learn about the categories covering aspects of creativity, design, and technical execution in the five key principles of observational drawing (lines, spaces and shapes, relationship, lighting and shading, and composition). Using a rubric for Drawing from Observation based on the extent to which a student’s portfolio demonstrates proficiency in these five categories will be used to help students learn how to self-reflect on their work. Each drawing will also be scored and returned with feedback for improvement by the teacher. The final drawing will be scored and used for student growth data.
