WESTSHORE CAREER-TECHNICAL DISTRICT
Program Philosophy and Goals
The philosophy of the Networking (Cisco) program is to provide 11th and 12th grade
students with a pathway from high school to college and onto careers in order to meet the
demands of today’s complex information technology society. The primary goals of this
program are to:
1. Integrate mathematics and technical instruction.
2. Learn in a lab setting that simulates a workplace technological environment
3. Provide skills in organization, leadership, planning, and interpersonal
communication.
4. Provide a foundation for students to further their technical knowledge on a post
secondary level.
5. Develop occupational safety habits and understanding to recognize work hazards.
6. Acquire valuable internet technology skills including network, cabling and
troubleshooting skills.
7. Explore internetworking concepts such as standards, topology, models, protocols,
devices, operating systems and applications.
8. Assemble a simple computer network and test its operation.
Overview of Program
The Networking (Cisco) at Lakewood High School) is a two-year program designed for 11th and
12th grade students who are interested in pursuing post-secondary education upon graduation.
The program curriculum is based on the Northwest Ohio Tech Prep Consortiums Technical
Competency Profiles for (Network Systems). This curriculum is the result of a comprehensive
review and refinement of the State’s TCP (Network Systems) document by a panel of
representatives from secondary, post-secondary and business leaders.
Students are encouraged to take the right classes so that they are prepared for their next step in
life. The following pathway chart is a recommended sequence for students interested in this
career field.

In the 11th and 12th grade component of the Tech Prep program, all students are part of a
seamless curriculum, which allows student to transition into post-secondary programs. Each
competency and competency builder in the required curriculum is designated to be introduced,
reinforced, or mastered at various levels.
The basic instructional philosophy for the Tech Prep programs encourages project-based
learning. To this end, a senior project will be completed by each student as a culmination of
their high school exit from tech prep. An advisory committee comprised of representatives from
business and industry, program graduates and academic representatives from school meets twice
each year to provide input and guidance in this program.
Throughout the school year, students participate in a variety of work-based learning in order to
observe and interact with employees, employers and administrative personnel in order to learn
more about the industry as a whole. Early placement/ internships/ mentoring assignments/ job
shadowing are all examples of work-based opportunities.
Students enrolled in Networking (Cisco) are also members of North Coast Tech Prep consortia.
Participation in Business Professionals of America provides the student with experiences in
competitive events at local, regional and national levels. In addition to the competitive events,
the student learns citizenship, parliamentary procedures, democratic principles, social skills and
civic responsibility. Students are also encouraged to participate in the Tech Prep Regional
Showcase.
Population Served
Tech Prep programs are open to all 11th and 12th grade student who have successfully
completed Algebra 1as a prerequisite. Students must complete Algebra 2 by the time they
graduate from high school. To receive college credit, students must maintain a 3.0 GPA in their
Tech Prep programs and an overall GPA of 2.0 and maintain a 95% attendance rate.
Housing of the Program
The course will be taught in a computer lab classroom with internet access for all students for
both online curriculum and online testing. Also there will be a separate lab utilized for hands-on
experience with routers and switches not connected to the main school network.
Supervisor of the Program
The teacher of the Networking (Cisco) program reports directly to the West Shore Career and
Technical Director.

competency improvement. Evaluation will be accomplished through pre-assessment of students’
skills, frequent formative assessment, both visual and written, and summative evaluation to
determine the mastery of competencies. Formative assessments that are conducted during
instruction help the teacher make necessary instructional adjustments. The instructor may decide
to alter instructional materials and methods if students are experiencing difficulties in learning
what is being taught. All evaluations are in the form of points received out of points possible. A
percentage is then calculated and a letter grade is assigned. Progress reports on all students are
mailed to parents on mid-term of each grading period.
