This year’s senior class will be the first ever
to receive the new Department of Education’s CTE recognition diploma. To earn one, students need to be a “completer”
in their pathway, meaning they’ve completed the introductory class and a
concentration class as well as successfully complete several additional tasks:
·
Pass an online test that measures their overall
knowledge of their pathway,
·
Write a comprehensive paper and present it to a
panel of judges, and
·
Pass their Performance Based Assessment, or PBA,
in front of a panel of community judges who represent the business or career
area. The PBA requires students to
complete a scenario – for example, the health pathway students needed to demonstrate
that they can simulate an office visit – introducing him/herself and stating
the purpose of the visit, following proper precautions through handwashing and
glove-wearing, taking the patient’s temperature, blood pressure, and assessing
the patient’s medical history and offering suggestions for current and future
needs. Students were asked to do this
while taking into consideration the patient’s advanced health directives and
the accompanying ethical and legal issues.
Over the next two weeks, approximately 32 Waimea
HS students will be attempting to pass their PBA….. we’d like to wish each of
them good luck!
Have a great week everyone!
