Dedication
With great respect and admiration, this report is dedicated to Dr. Patrick Ainsworth, former Assistant Superintendent and Director of the Career and College Transition Division, California Department of Education, for his vision, leadership, and dedication.
For nearly a decade, this visionary and inspirational leader has encouraged and supported the development of rigorous and relevant college preparatory high school courses that seamlessly integrate academic and career technical education (CTE) standards. In just the past ten years, his efforts have resulted in unprecedented and extraordinary results—the approval of over 10,000 highly rigorous CTE courses that meet “a-g” admission requirements for both the California State University and the University of California systems.
While Dr. Ainsworth retired last year from his position in public education, the legacy of his pioneering and transformative efforts will continue to benefit California’s students, high schools, and public university systems for many years to come.
Foreword
The primary purpose of this report is to determine how many career technical education (CTE) courses meet University of California (UC) “a-g” admission requirements. The researcher utilized the UC web site and reviewed 1,334 public comprehensive and alternative high schools’ and 967 private high schools’ UC “a-g” approved course admission lists. The findings in this report will provide guidance to key audiences including policy makers, district administrators, school site personnel, UC staff, California Department of Education (CDE) staff, and other educators who are interested in “raising expectations through rigor and relevance” by means of integrating CTE courses.
One of the major obstacles encountered by the researcher was trying to determine whether or not a specific course was actually taught by a CTE teacher. In the sector of Agriculture and Natural Resources, courses are tracked by this discipline within the CDE and, therefore, are by-and-large taught by CTE teachers. However, no such tracking occurs by course title in the following industry sectors: (a) Art, Media and Entertainment, (b) Building Trades and Construction, (c) Education, Child Development and Family, (d) Engineering, (e) Fashion and Design, (f) Finance and Business, (g) Health Science and Medical Technology, (h) Hospitality, Tourism, and Recreation, (i) Information Technology, (j) Manufacturing and product Development, (k) Marketing, Sales, and Services, (l) Public Services, and (m) Transportation. The researcher relied on UC’s Web site and CTE subject matter consultants within the CDE to determine if a CTE teacher could teach a given course found in this report based on California Commission on Teacher Credentialing guidelines.

Historical Perspective of Career Technical Education Courses Meeting
University of California Admission Requirements
The genesis of career technical education (CTE) courses meeting University of California (UC) admission requirements started with the passage of Senate Bill 813 (The Educational Reform Act of 1983). This legislation ignited a flurry of reform within the high school educational community by mandating specific graduation requirements in English, history, science, mathematics, fine arts/or foreign language, and physical education. Unfortunately, CTE courses were not part of the high school graduation requirement reform movement. However, the Legislature provided a provision within the California Education Code (EC) that stipulated local education agencies (LEAs) were to provide alternative methods for students to meet mandated graduation requirements. EC Section 51225.3(b) states:
“The governing board, with the active involvement of parents, administrators, teachers, and pupils, shall adopt alternative means for students to complete the prescribed course of study which may include practical demonstration of skills and competencies, supervised work experience or other outside school experience, career technical education classes offered in high schools, courses offered by regional occupational centers or programs, interdisciplinary study, independent study, and credit earned at a postsecondary institution. Requirements for graduation and specified alternative modes for completing the prescribed course of study shall be made available to pupils, parents, and the public.”
EC Section 51225.3(b) allowed CTE educators to design integrated courses that could meet graduation requirements in many of these mandated academic areas. During the same timeframe, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Bill Honig called on all educators to “raise academic expectations” within their curriculum. This clarion call to action by Superintendent Honig solidified the notion within the vocational educational community that CTE teachers should infuse and reinforce academics within their respective courses. In 1990, with the reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, academic integration was a required feature of all CTE courses taught in the United States.
The first known CTE courses to meet UC admission requirements came from two agriculture programs located in the San Joaquin Valley. Exeter High School submitted a Plant and Animal Physiology course that was approved to meet the "d” or laboratory science requirement in 1983. Chowchilla Union High School received a Specialized Secondary Program (SSP) grant from the CDE with the focus of developing and submitting three courses in Agriculture and Physical Science, Plant Botany, and Animal Physiology, which were approved to meet the "f" or elective admission requirement in 1985.
In 2003, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell became the first state official to openly urge CTE educators to develop rigorous, standards-based CTE courses that could meet UC admission requirements. Superintendent O’Connell’s encouragement led to dramatic increases of CTE courses meeting UC “a-g” admission requirements during his eight year tenure. In 2010, with the election of State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, this innovative educational strategy of CTE courses meeting UC “a-g” admission requirements has seen the same type of ardent encouragement and support.
University of California’s Role in Fostering Innovative Career Technical Education Courses that Meet University of California “a-g” Admission Requirements
In 1999, the Governor’s School-to-Career Advisory Council commissioned the UC a-g Interactive Guide Project to underscore the importance of simultaneously preparing high school students both for careers and postsecondary education. With approval from the various governmental agencies the initial phase of the project was funded through a contract awarded to the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) by the School-to-Career fiscal agent of the Employment Development Department. A few years later, with the sunset of School-to-Career funds, the project was funded by the CDE using federal Carl D. Perkins funds. These funds were the primary funding source for the project, up until 2008. Presently, the Project is funded with SB 70 and SB 1070 CTE funds until 2014.
The a-g Guide Project was originally designed to make the “a-g” course approval process more transparent and efficient by clarifying criteria and offering a variety of tools, resources, support, and assistance to California high school educators who sought “a-g” approval for their courses. After many years of operation, the project has proved its value and has received strong endorsements from secondary schools, UC admissions staff, the UC Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools and CDE. The project continues to operate, keeping the a-g Guide Web site current, adding resources in new areas of development and/or school reform, providing targeted workshops to those seeking assistance, and more.
More recently, the state has embarked on an ambitious agenda to support and expand the development of career technical education opportunities within schools. Initiatives such as workforce innovation partnerships, the expansion of California Partnership Academies, Linked Learning Pilot Program, and Regional Occupational Centers and Programs (ROC/P), the adoption of State Board of Education approved CTE standards (2013) and curriculum framework (2007), and CTE-related legislation (e.g., SB 1543, SB 70, AB 2648, SB 611 and others) have combined to place greater attention on issues related to the development and expansion of “a-g” courses that include an academically rigorous CTE component.
Since the 2001–02 year, the number of CTE courses accepted for “a-g” approval has increased dramatically. In 2001, UC had approved just 258 CTE courses. Today, over 9,954 CTE courses are approved to meet UC “a-g” admission requirements or 23.3 percent of the 42,610 CTE courses offered in California public schools. In the private high schools, over 1,890 CTE courses are currently approved to meet UC “a-g” admission requirements. Moreover, it is expected that the number of approved CTE courses will continue to climb. Pursuant to SB 1543 (2006), UC has developed model uniform academic standards for CTE courses to provide more guidance to teachers and administrators who want their CTE courses approved by UC.
The long range goal of the a-g Guide Project is to continue to operate and keep the a-g Guide Web site current by adding resources to strengthen and communicate the course review process. In addition, UC is utilizing a multi-pronged approach to more fully integrate academically rich and rigorous CTE courses into the classroom. This three-part strategy includes: (1) expanding the availability of academically rigorous CTE curriculum by developing industry-specific model courses for statewide use that meet “a-g” admission requirements; (2) providing workshops, web-based tools and other forms of assistance, such as the Curriculum Integration Pilot Program and the Cadre of Experts, to those seeking help related to the development and submission of courses for “a-g” approval; and (3) ensuring rapid and consistent approvals of academically rich CTE courses so that more CTE classes meet the approval of the University for its “a-g” admission requirements in all academic subject areas.
In 2010, UC embarked on an ambitious project called the University of California Curriculum Integration Institute. The goal of this institute is to develop exemplary CTE courses that could meet any of the UC “a-g” admission requirements. The project is being supported by SB 70 and SB 1070 funds that were legislatively sponsored by Darrell Steinberg, Senate pro Tempore and his staff.
