Sabay-sabay na Pagpapatala sa Lugar Ang isang area college ay anumang akreditadong pampubliko o pribadong kolehiyo o unibersidad sa estado ng Oklahoma. Nakikipagtulungan ang Epic sa mga akreditadong kasosyo sa kolehiyo upang magbigay ng sabay-sabay na mga pagkakataon para sa mga estudyante ng Epic na kumuha ng mga kursong kumikita sa kolehiyo, online, nang personal, o sa pamamagitan ng isang hybrid na opsyon, habang nasa high school pa rin. Ang mga pagkakataong ito ay nag-iiba ayon sa baitang at ayon sa pagiging karapat-dapat. Mga Madalas Itanong Ang pagkuha ng sabay-sabay na mga klase ay nangangahulugan na ang isang estudyante ay naka-enroll sa dalawang institusyon nang sabay at ang dalawang transcript ay sumasalamin sa mga kreditong nakuha.

Mga Internship & Pag-aaral na Nakabatay sa Trabaho Ang internship ay isang propesyonal na posisyon kung saan nagtatrabaho ang isang mag-aaral sa isang organisasyon, kung minsan ay walang bayad, upang makakuha ng karanasan sa trabaho o matugunan ang mga kinakailangan para sa isang kwalipikasyon. Ang Work-Based Learning ay isang diskarte sa edukasyon na nagbibigay sa mga mag-aaral ng totoong buhay na karanasan sa trabaho kung saan inilalapat nila ang mga kasanayang pang-akademiko at teknikal upang mapaunlad ang kanilang kakayahang magtrabaho. Mga pagpipilian Epic Virtual Internship Isang karanasan sa pag-aaral kung saan nakumpleto ng mag-aaral ang isang internship sa pamamagitan ng pag-zoom gamit ang aming Virtual Internship Facilitator. Ang pagkakataon ay nag-aalok ng paggalugad sa karera at nagpapaunlad ng mga kasanayan sa pamamagitan ng pag-aaral batay sa proyekto. Ang mga mag-aaral ay nakakakuha ng elective credit kapag sila ay nagkikita linggu-linggo sa kanilang facilitator, nakakumpleto ng isang capstone na proyekto at mga karagdagang aktibidad. Mayroong dalawang landas: ang isa ay humahantong sa isang sertipikasyon sa industriya at ang isa ay humahantong sa pagkamit ng mga kasanayan at kaalaman na nauugnay sa karera. Matuto pa Panlabas na Internship Ang onsite o malayong internship ay isang propesyonal na karanasan sa pag-aaral na nag-aalok ng makabuluhan, praktikal na gawaing nauugnay sa larangan ng pag-aaral o interes sa karera ng isang estudyante. Binibigyan nito ang estudyante ng pagkakataon para sa paggalugad at pag-unlad ng karera, at upang matuto ng mga bagong kasanayan. Makakakuha ang mga mag-aaral ng elective credit kapag lumahok sila sa isang internship, nakumpleto ang 60 oras ng trabaho, nakumpleto ang 3 soft skill na takdang-aralin, at ibinigay ang kinakailangang layunin, pagmuni-muni, at mga form ng feedback. Matuto pa Work Based Learning Ang work-based na pag-aaral ay isang diskarte sa edukasyon na nagbibigay sa mga mag-aaral ng totoong buhay na karanasan sa trabaho kung saan maaari nilang gamitin ang mga kasanayang pang-akademiko at teknikal at paunlarin ang kanilang kakayahang magtrabaho. Ang mga mag-aaral ay nakakakuha ng elective credit kapag sila ay may trabaho, nakakumpleto ng 60 oras ng trabaho, nakakumpleto ng 3 soft skill na mga takdang-aralin, at ibigay ang kinakailangang layunin, pagmuni-muni, at mga form ng feedback. Matuto pa Alternatibo Maaaring magbigay ng mga akomodasyon para sa mga mag-aaral sa internship/work-based na pag-aaral na itinalagang OAAP, hangga't ang pagkakalagay ng internship/work-based na pag-aaral ay nakahanay sa plano ng paglipat ng mag-aaral para sa mga layunin pagkatapos ng high school. Mangyaring bisitahin ang seksyong Alternatibong Internship para sa karagdagang impormasyon. Matuto pa Mga Alituntunin Magiging aprubadong internship ba ito? Magiging makabuluhan ba ang karanasan sa kalikasan? Naaayon ba ito sa mga layunin/interes ng estudyante pagkatapos ng high school? Papayagan ba nito ang mag-aaral na magkaroon ng superbisor/mentor na maaaring magsanay, magtakda ng mga inaasahan, at magbigay ng feedback? Mas maihahanda ba ng internship ang mag-aaral para sa isang partikular na karera/posisyon pagkatapos ng pagtatapos ng high school? Makakakumpleto ba ang mag-aaral ng hindi bababa sa 60 oras ng pag-apply/hands-on na karanasan sa pamamagitan ng internship na ito? Kung hindi ka makasagot ng oo sa lahat ng tanong sa itaas, malamang na hindi ito angkop para sa isang internship. Hinihikayat namin ang iyong mag-aaral na mag-isip sa labas ng kahon, at masaya kaming tumulong sa brainstorming at makipagtulungan sa iyo. Kung hindi ka sigurado tungkol sa pag-apruba ng internship, mangyaring makipag-ugnayan kay Anita Manuel saanita.manuel@epiccharterschools.org . Benepisyo Ang pagkamit ng elektibong kredito sa mga opsyong ito ay nagbibigay sa mga mag-aaral ng kakayahang magpatuloy na umunlad at matuto ng mga kasanayan na makakatulong sa kanila sa hinaharap habang, sa parehong oras, makakuha ng kredito sa kurso sa high school. ika-9 & 10th Grade Work Study Addendum Ang mga mag-aaral sa Freshman at Sophomore ay maaaring makakuha ng elective credit sa isang internship o pagkakataon sa pag-aaral sa trabaho. Ang mga kursong ito ay hindi mga kurso sa Susunod na Hakbang, ngunit mga elective na portfolio. Kukumpletuhin ng mga mag-aaral sa ika-9 at ika-10 baitang ang parehong mga uri ng takdang-aralin gaya ng mga mag-aaral sa ika-11 at ika-12 baitang. Ang mga mag-aaral ay ilalagay sa isang silid-aralan ng Schoology. Ang silid-aralan ng Schoology na ito ay pre-loaded ng lahat ng kinakailangang takdang-aralin at mga form.

Ang isa pang pagpipilian ay maaaring kung pinahihintulutan ng lokal na distrito ng paaralan ang mag-aaral na sumakay sa bus sa lugar ng lokal na paaralan at ihatid kasama ng mga lokal na estudyante sa high school. Kung ang isang mag-aaral ay nangangailangan ng tulong sa transportasyon at ito ay humahadlang sa kanilang kakayahang dumalo sa isang programa kung saan siya tinanggap, mangyaring makipag-ugnayan kay Hadley Walters sa hadley.walters@epiccharterschools.org Maaari bang mag-apply ang isang mag-aaral sa isang IEP para sa isang career tech program?

Ang aking mag-aaral ay hindi tinanggap sa programang pinili, ano ang iba pang mga opsyon na mayroon siya? Maraming mga programa ang lubos na mapagkumpitensya at habang ito ay maaaring nakakadismaya, mayroong ilang mga pagpipilian. Ang unang opsyon ay ang pagtatanong sa career tech kung ang estudyante ay maaaring ilagay sa waist list para sa programa. Ang susunod na opsyon ay ang pakikipag-usap sa career tech upang makita kung ang programa ay inaalok sa pamamagitan ng isang adult/night program. Ang mga programang ito ay karaniwang tinatawag na mga panandaliang programa. Bagama't maaaring may gastos, ang mag-aaral ay maaari pa ring dumalo at matutunan ang kasanayan/trade ng interes. Ang aking estudyante ay isang junior o senior at interesado sa career tech. huli na ba? Hindi, hindi pa huli ang lahat para sa isang mag-aaral. Hinihikayat namin ang lahat ng mga mag-aaral na magtrabaho kasama ang lokal na teknolohiya ng karera upang tuklasin ang mga pagkakataon.

Ang komunikasyon ay susi! Nalampasan ng estudyante ko ang priority enrollment deadline, pwede pa ba silang mag-apply? Oo. Karamihan sa mga career technology center ay tumatanggap pa rin ng mga aplikasyon na lumampas sa priority enrollment deadline. Ang ilang mga career technology center ay nagsasaad kung kailan sila huminto sa pagtanggap ng mga aplikasyon, ngunit karamihan ay ginagawa pa rin pagkatapos ng priority enrollment deadline. Ang pinakamagandang gawin ay tingnan ang website para sa career tech ng interes. Kailan ang pinakamagandang oras para mag-apply sa aking lokal na career tech? Ang pinakamagandang oras para mag-apply sa iyong lokal na career tech ay ang taglagas na semestre bago mo balak mag-enroll. Halimbawa, mag-a-apply ka sa taglagas ng iyong sophomore year upang sana ay mailagay sa isang full-time na programa sa iyong career tech sa panahon ng iyong junior year. Ang proseso ng aplikasyon ay tumatagal ng ilang buwan, kaya pinakamainam na makuha ang iyong aplikasyon nang maaga bago ang takdang-panahon ng pagpapatala sa priority. Tingnan ang tanong sa itaas tungkol sa paglampas sa priority deadline. Nakukuha ba ng aking estudyante ang high school credit kung sila ay naka-enroll sa isang programa sa isang career tech? Oo. Kung ang kanilang programa ay isang full-time na programa sa high school. Sa maraming career technology center, may opsyon ang mga mag-aaral na mag-enroll sa mga panandaliang programa. Ang mga panandaliang programa ay karaniwang 6 na linggo ang haba, at bagama't maaari silang humantong sa isang sertipikasyon sa industriya, ang mga ito ay karaniwang hindi itinuturo ng isang sertipikadong tagapagturo ng CTE, at hindi inaprubahan ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon ng Estado (SDE) bilang mga karapat-dapat na programa sa magbunga ng kredito sa mataas na paaralan. Mahalaga ring tandaan na ang mga panandaliang programa ay hindi libre para sa mga mag-aaral. Ang mga full-time na programa sa high school ay itinuturo ng mga sertipikadong CTE instructor, inaprubahan ng SDE upang magbigay ng credit sa high school, at libre para sa mag-aaral kung nakatira sila sa isang kwalipikadong distrito ng paaralan. Ilang kredito ang matatanggap ng aking mag-aaral pagkatapos makumpleto ang isang career tech program? Ang karamihan ng mga programa sa tech sa karera ay magbubunga ng 3 elektibong kredito. Kasama sa ilang mga programa ang akademikong kredito kung sila ay naka-enroll sa isang klase gaya ng Biology, Fundamentals of Technology, Trig/Pre-Calculus, atbp., bilang bahagi ng kanilang career tech program. Ang mag-aaral ay makakakuha ng akademikong kredito (computer science, science, o math) at elective credit depende sa programa. Karamihan sa mga programa sa mga career technology center ay naaprubahan para sa 3-4 na kabuuang mga kredito. Kaya, kung ang isang mag-aaral ay makakakuha ng 1 buong akademikong kredito para sa Fundamentals of Technology na kasama sa kanilang career tech program, makakatanggap sila ng 1 computer science credit at 2 elective credits para sa kabuuang 3 credits na nakuha. Para sa mga karagdagang tanong, huwag mag-atubiling makipag-ugnayan kay Hadley Walters, ang Career Tech Counselor sa hadley.walters@epiccharterschools.org Paano ko malalaman kung ang aking career tech program ay naaprubahan para sa high school credit? Ang Departamento ng Edukasyon ng Estado ay may mapagkukunan upang tulungan kaming maunawaan kung aling programa ang mabibilang para sa kredito sa high school, elektibo o iba pa. Ito ay tinatawag na Postsecondary Opportunities Guidance. Upang tingnan ang mapagkukunang ito mag-click dito.
