LEARNING STANDARDS FOR:
CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND OCCUPATIONAL
STUDIES
AT THREE LEVELS
Standard 2: Integrated
Learning
Students will demonstrate how academic
knowledge and skills are applied in the workplace and other settings.
1. Integrated learning encourages students to
use essential academic concepts, facts, and procedures in applications
related to life skills and the world of work. This approach allows
students to see the usefulness of the concepts that they are being
asked to learn and to understand their potential application in
the world of work.
Students:
- apply academic knowledge and skills using
an interdisciplinary approach to demonstrate the relevance of
how these skills are applied in work-related situations in local,
state, national, and international communities
- solve problems that call for applying academic
knowledge and skills
- use academic knowledge and skills in an
occupational context, and demonstrate the application of these
skills by using a variety of communication techniques (e.g., sign
language, pictures, videos, reports, and technology).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- match an inventory of academic knowledge
and technical skills to specific careers in which they would be
useful
- prepare job descriptions with emphasis on
language arts and mathematic requirements
- work in teams to complete a promotional
campaign, applying the principles of various disciplines (e.g.,
art, music, language arts and languages other than English) to
sell products on a national level*
- attend a school or community theater production
and then interview the director, cast, and stage crew, and prepare
a presentation illustrating academic knowledge and technical skills
applied in various theater careers*
- complete a project that demonstrates how
two or more academic disciplines are applied to implement news
media presentations
- prepare a report based on a shadowing experience,
describing the various jobs observed and the academic knowledge
and technical skills needed for these jobs
- use mathematical skills to compute performance
statistics for a school athletic team
- edit the work of other students for a school
newsletter
- use language arts skills to evaluate a student
debate
select six samples of their work (completed hands-on
projects depicting various occupations) and describe the academic
knowledge and technical skills that are applied for occupations.*
