Summary: The New course proposal process starts in the fall and includes dialog between site teachers and administrators, a proposal presented to the site leadership team in which they engage in dialogue, asking questions, and end the end, voting on their endorsement. The new course proposal is then sent to the Associate Superintendent of Educational Services and if approved, sent to the Board.

Mountain View High School is proposing the following new courses: Business Management, Work Exploratory, and Health Careers.

The Business Management course develops academic and analytical skills that will enable students to succeed in college and at the same time provides students with experience managing a small business. This course will be a CTE course and will be the connector course to Business Management II to complete a CTE pathway.

The Work Exploratory course will provide students with a course on exploring careers and how to gain professional experience to explore opportunities in their chosen field. This aligns with our District goals to offer more CTE courses on campus. In a survey given to students, this course was rated very high in student interest.

The third new course proposal from MVHS is for an Architectural Design II class. This class will be a capstone class to Architectural Design I. Adding in Architectural Design II will make a complete CTE pathway. This aligns with our District goals to offer more CTE courses on campus.

The last new course MVHS is proposing is Health Careers. Their goal is to develop a full pathway for the Health Careers Pathway. Health Careers will be a first/concentrator course in the Pathway. This course aligns with our district goals. Include specific references to CCSS, CA-NGSS, State and College Board Frameworks, and District goals as appropriate.
