Grade Placement: 7–8

Credit: 1

Prerequisite: None.

The goal of Career and College Exploration is to help students build career awareness and

engage in deep exploration and study of the Texas CTE career clusters to create a foundation for

success in high school, possible postsecondary studies, and careers. The career development

process is unique to every person and evolves throughout one's life. In Career and College

Exploration, students use decision-making and problem-solving skills for individual career and

academic planning. Students explore valid, reliable educational and career information to learn

more about themselves and their interests and abilities. Students integrate skills from academic

subjects, information technology, and interpersonal communication to make informed decisions.

This course is designed to guide students through the process of investigating and developing a

college and career readiness plan. Students use aptitude and interest inventory assessments,

labor market information, software, or other tools available to explore a variety of career paths,

especially those in demand. Students will begin mapping their anticipated secondary coursework

and potential postsecondary experiences that are in alignment with their goals.

Grade Placement: 11–12

Credit: 1 Prerequisite: None.

Recommended Prerequisites: Algebra 1 and Geometry.

The process standards describe ways in which students are expected to engage in the content.

The placement of the process standards at the beginning of the knowledge and skills listed for

each grade and course is intentional. The process standards weave the other knowledge and skills

together so that students may be successful problem solvers and use mathematics efficiently and

effectively in daily life. The process standards are integrated at every grade level and course.

When possible, students will apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and

the workplace. Students will use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given

information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and

evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution. Students will

select appropriate tools such as real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology and

techniques such as mental math, estimation, and number sense to solve problems. Students will

effectively communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple

representations such as symbols, diagrams, graphs, and language. Students will use mathematical

relationships to generate solutions and make connections and predictions. Students will analyze

mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas. Students will

display, explain, or justify mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical

language in written or oral communication.
