This session is FREE to members of the Special Education Cooperative.
The Foundation High School Program became the default graduation program for all students entering ninth grade starting from the 2014-2015 school year, encompassing the attainment of an endorsement and distinguished level of achievement. This program mandates the completion of five electives belonging to a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program of study. However, the HB 165 bill, passed in the 86th Legislative Session, permits students with significant disabilities to earn an endorsement through a modified curriculum.
If you're seeking guidance on supporting a student with significant disabilities in CTE, we've got you covered. We'll explore various strategies to assist students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in demonstrating mastery of Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for CTE courses eligible for state-accredited credits. Additionally, we'll delve into approaches to modify the TEKS to facilitate students' transition to post-secondary goals while ensuring they are served in the least restrictive environment. Our session, co-taught with Transition, CTE, and Low Incident consultants, aims to enhance your accountability and College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) ratings.
