 ====Basic Guidelines====
-  * A **CTE Pathway** equals a minimum of **300 hours**.
+  * A **CTE Pathway** equals a minimum of **300 hours** of student engagement.
-  * A CTE Pathway is a **minimum of 2 Courses** and may be 5 or 6 Courses.  Either way, a pathway represents a minimum 300 hour time investment on the part of the student.
+  * For the latest CTE Pathways guidelines, consult the **[[http://rop.fcoe.org/sites/rop.fcoe.org/files/2018-07/CBEDs_2017-18_Users_Guide_Final_v3.pdf|Career Technical Education Course Code Definitions by Sector and Pathways 2017-18 Users Guide]]**
-  * An Introductory Course should not cross industry sectors.
-  * Concentrator and Capstone Courses need to be used in one Pathway only.
   * A **CTE Pathway Completer** must make a grade of **C- or better in all Pathway courses**.
-  * Dual-Enrollment CTE Courses should **always use the CTE course code** (NOT the usual Dual-Enrollment Course codes) in the course catalog. They should also be marked as **“College Credit”** course in the **Non-Std Instructional Level** dropdown.
+  * **Dual-Enrollment CTE Courses** always use the CTE Course Code (NOT the academic Dual-Enrollment Course Codes(. They are designated in the **Non-Std Instructional Level** drop-down as **"College Credit"**.

 ===== 1. Establishing CTE Courses in the Course Catalog =====
-===A===
+Enter CTE Courses in the **Master Course List**. Consider using the //CTE Industry Selector Code// as part of the Local Course Code for quick reference. For example, the "Arts, Media and Entertainment Sector (AME)" in **Graphic Design** might have local course codes of **7210-1, 7211-1 & 7212-1**. By adding the Sector Code - **7210-1 AME** - it becomes easier to quickly find the appropriate courses when searching and setting up CTE Pathways
-Support all your CTE Courses in the Course Catalog, whether they are part of a CTE Pathway or not.
-\\ \\
-To help simplify the process when looking for CTE Courses in multiple sectors, consider using the CTE Industry Sector Code as part of the Local Course Code.  For example,   Introduction to Public Safety Careers would have a local course code of 5846-1.  By adding the Sector Code – 5846-1 PUB – it becomes easier to rapidly find the appropriate courses when setting up your CTE Pathway in the SIS.

-**As of 8/2017 all CTE Course Codes have been changed from the 4000-5999 Codes to **__7000-8999 Codes!__** Now is the time to go into this year's Course Catalog and make those necessary Course Code Changes.
-\\ \\
-All CTE Pathways that will be supported here in the State of California have also been defined in the **Career Technical Education Course Code Definitions by Sector and Pathways 2017-2018 Users Guide** that was released in September 2017. [[https://rop.fcoe.org/sites/rop.fcoe.org/files/CBEDs%202017-18%20Users%20Guide%20%20-%20Final%20v3.pdf|This document can be accessed here]].

-At the bottom of this manual -- in FAQS and Resources -- you will find a synopsis version of the above document that you may find helpful.
-===C===
-Create your CTE Pathways based on the User Guide above. Here is some basic information:
-  * A CTE Pathway can be delivered using Online Courses. However, this may not be considered a "high-quality" CTE Pathway. (At this time CALPADS does not track whether a course is "high-quality" -- only whether the student is a CTE Pathway Completer.)
-  * Any one CTE Pathway may involve a mix of Dual-Enrollment Courses, Online Courses, Articulated Courses and courses taught by a non-CTE-Credentialed teacher (not high-quality).
-  * CTE Pathways taught by credentialed CTE Teachers are considered high-quality.

 ===== FAQs =====
-  - **QUESTION**: Which academic courses can LEAs designate as part of a Career Technical Education (CTE) pathway? \\ \\ **ANSWER**: LEAs that are populating field 9.10 (CRS-Course Content Code) with Code 154 (Career Technical Education) must now ensure that Code 154 is only used with specific academic courses that have been identified by the California Department of Education's Career Technical Education (CTE) Program Office as courses that would be logical parts of a CTE course sequence. **Code 154 can __only__ be used with the courses listed in the table below**. Using code 154 with any academic course **not** listed below (not including any CTE courses in the 4000-5999 range) will result in a fatal error. \\ {{:plsis:cte_pathways14.png?nolink&300|}} \\ \\
+  - **QUESTION**: How do I set up a Dual-Enrollment CTE class in the Master Course List? \\ \\ **ANSWER**: The process for __//CTE Dual Enrollment is DIFFERENT than the process for academic courses//__:
-  - **QUESTION**: Is CTE really necessary in a Student’s High School career?   Is there any real difference between a student who takes a CTE Course and a student who completes a CTE Pathway? \\ \\ **ANSWER**: Yes!  The state encourages schools to have all students take at least an exploratory CTE course, however the state definitely encourages – and tracks – those graduating seniors who have finished a CTE Pathway during their high school career. \\ \\ The current LCFF State Priorities Snapshot for every school tracks the percent of 4-Year cohorts that completed at least 1 CTE Pathway during high school.  Additionally, the new state API for High School is including this same information as a significant indicator of a Student Achievement. \\ \\ To see your school’s LCFF State Priorities Snapshot go to www.cde.ca.gov/snapshot \\ \\
+    * In the **Course Catalog**, support a course title for specific College course.
-  - **QUESTION**: Where can I go to see a list of the current state CTE course codes? \\ \\ **ANSWER**: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sp/cl/systemdocs.asp
+    * Be sure to **use a //CALPADS COURCE CODE// for CTE courses (7000-8999)**. In the example below notice that the CALPADS code 8411 - for Criminal law - is used. (Notice you are using //**regular CALPADS CTE Course codes**// for these dual-enrollment courses).
-  - **QUESTION**: Can you provide us with a sample of what CTE Pathways look like? We are just beginning the process to see what Pathways our school will support and would love to see an example. \\ \\ **ANSWER**: Here is an example of what a few CTE Pathways might look like: // {{:plsis:cte_pathways13.png?nolink&700|}} //
+    * **You __must__ use the Non-Standard Instructional Level indicator to designate Dual-Enrollment for a "College Credit" course**. __Otherwise the course will not report as dual-enrollment in CALPADS!__ \\ {{ :plsis:cte_pathways16.png?nolink&700 |}}
-  - **QUESTION**: Can a student be enrolled in more than one CTE Pathway? \\ \\ **ANSWER: Yes!** A student can be enrolled in multiple CTE Pathways.
+    * Remember: many college courses are **a-g**. Be sure and **choose** the appropriate **A-G State Univ. Requirement Met** designation if this is the case.
+    * Also remember to **check the appropriate CTE Information** on the lower right-hand side of the page.
+    * **SAVE your changes.**
+  - **QUESTION**: How do you delete a Student's CTE Pathway? \\ \\ **ANSWER**:
+    * Go to the **Student's CTE Tab**
+    * Use the "Set Pathways" drop-down to **Re-choose the same CTE Pathway that is already chosen.**
+    * Click the **SAVE** button
+    * You will then be given the option to Delete the Student's CTE Pathway.
+  - **QUESTION**: Is there any real difference between a student who takes a CTE Course and a student who completes a CTE Pathway? \\ \\ **ANSWER**: The state encourages all students to take at least one CTE course during their High School Career. Students who complete a **CTE Pathway** however are fulfilling one requirement necessary for showing up as being **Well-Prepared** upon graduation. \\ \\ //The current **LCFF State Priorities Snapshot** for every school tracks the percent of 4-Year cohorts that completed at least 1 CTE Pathway during high school. Additionally, the new state **API** for High School is including this same information as a significant indicator of Student Achievement.//
+  - **QUESTION**: Where can I go to see a list of current state CTE Course Codes? \\ \\ **ANSWER**: [[http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sp/cl/systemdocs.asp|Here, on the CDE Website]]. Click on the most current Code Sets (**CALPADS Code Sets v8.5**)
+  - **QUESTION**: Can a student be enrolled in more than 1 CTE Pathway? \\ \\ **ANSWER**: Yes: A student can be enrolled in more than one CTE Pathway at a time.
