Professional Learning Experience

The Professional Learning Experience (PLE) course connects technical skill development at the application level to authentic industry-related experiences for the individual student learner across all fields and pathways. The PLE course is designed for students who want to gain experience working in a job that is directly tied to a 33 class in which the student is enrolled. The academic and occupational skills that the student will be learning need to be at the same skill level as the course in which the student is enrolled. To secure the PLE course request, a completed application must be submitted to the school counselor on or before April 1. A relationship among Career Interest + Course on Schedule + Professional Learning Experience placement must be evident. Students may enroll in PLE for 1 class period or 2 class periods, with .5 credit awarded per class period each semester upon successful completion of the Professional Learning Experience requirements.
The class is PASS/FAIL.

Prerequisites: PLE paperwork due by April 1

Driver's Education

Driver’s Education is limited to students who are 14 years of age on or before the first day of class and who will be entering the ninth grade. Students are encouraged to obtain their instructional permits (for which they are eligible at 14) from the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and begin practicing with parents before class begins. The Driver’s Education course is a tuition-based class; the entire fee is due on or before the first day of class. The Driver’s Education class is comprised of three components: classroom work, range driving, and road driving. The classroom and range driving portions of the class must be passed successfully in order to complete the road driving section. During the classroom section, students will study driving from an educational viewpoint. The information provided during the class section will be put into use both on the range and on the road. Lectures, quizzes, discussions, tests, and projects will be an important part of this class. Students should come prepared to class to take notes and study for tests. The range portion of the class gives students the chance to drive a variety of vehicles in the high school parking lot. The parking lot will be set up with cones to allow students to practice “town” driving and parking situations including pulling into and backing into a garage, angle and parallel parking, changing lanes, signaling, stopping at stop signs, yielding the right of way, and maintaining control of the vehicle. The road driving portion of the test includes town and highway driving. Students should be prepared to spend several hours on the road both driving and observing their fellow drivers. If a student successfully completes all components of the driver’s education course, he/she will be given a completion slip to turn in at the DMV, which will waive the written and driving tests. The eye test must still be passed.

Prerequisites: Be 14 years of age; enrollment paperwork & fee
