College Credit Opportunities Career Prep Opportunities Must register for all course numbers indicated 5 REGISTRATION INFORMATION SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS (ML) Students whose home language is a language other than English, or who come from a part of the world where the variety of English is very different from American English, may qualify to receive support from the Multilingual Learners (ML) program. For information about the ML program, or to receive assistance in setting up an appointment for assessment, please contact the District 279 Enrollment Center at 763-585-7357. ONLINE PROGRAMS Minnesota public school students may enroll in supplemental online courses (taken in place of a course period during the regular school day) through any state approved programs. For the list of approved programs, please visit MDE's website education.mn.gov/MDE/dse/online. SPECIAL EDUCATION Special education is specially designed instruction, above and beyond what is available in the general education setting, and is designed to meet the individual needs of students with a disability. There are 13 disability categories specified by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). Eligibility for special education services is determined following a comprehensive special education evaluation. Special education services are based on the results of the evaluation and an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed based on student needs. The referral process for special education begins with the student’s general education teacher communicating a concern to the parent and development of an intervention plan to help the student be successful in the general education classroom. If this plan is successful a referral is not made to special education. If the student continues to struggle then the teacher would develop a second plan based on the data collected from the first plan to help the student be successful in the general education classroom. If this plan is successful a referral is not made to special education. If interventions are unsuccessful, a referral will be made for a special education evaluation. Parents and students may also discuss concerns with teachers, counselors, or administrators. Parents and students may request implementation of an intervention plan by contacting their teacher, counselor, or special education building coordinator. A parent may also ask that their child be assessed. The special education evaluation team would consider the request and meet with the parents. CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION/SPECIAL EDUCATION. ISD 279 CBVAT Program/Work Activity Center—IEP Students The Community Based Vocational Assessment and Training (CBVAT) program is designed to provide learning opportunities for students with special needs to develop work skills, attitudes and behaviors that are necessary to succeed in today’s workplace. In this work-based learning experience, students complete contracted work from community vendors and learn both general employability and specific work skills. Students are encouraged to be concurrently enrolled in a Transition to Work Seminar class at their home high school while participating in the CBVAT program. Students receive direct instruction from a licensed work coordinator and are monitored closely by experienced vocational trainers. Transportation is provided by the school district. Contact your Case Manager for more information, referral and application process. UNIFIED PROGRAMS.

Each participating college or university sets its own requirements for enrollment into the PSEO courses. Juniors and seniors may take PSEO courses on a full- or part-time basis; sophomores may take one career/technical PSEO course. If they earn a "C" or higher in that class, they may take additional PSEO courses. There is no charge to PSEO students for tuition, books or fees for items that are required to participate in a course. Students must meet the PSEO residency and eligibility requirements and abide by participation limits specified in Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.09. Funds are available to help pay transportation expenses for qualifying students to participate in PSEO courses on college campuses. Schools must provide information to all students in grades 8-11 and their families by March 1, every year. Students must notify their school by May 30 if they want to participate in PSEO for the following school year.

ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS Offered for courses in the following departments: Business & Marketing, Family and Consumer Science, Health Science, Science, and Technology Education. See course descriptions. Articulation is a process for coordinating the linking of two or more educational systems in MN to help learners make a smooth transition from one level of education to another without experiencing delays, duplication of courses or loss of credit. The goal is to produce advanced standing credit/s for college-level coursework completed in high school as evidenced by meeting competency requirements as determined by the enrolling college or university. The courses intended for articulation as advanced standing must be equivalent to college or university courses numbered above 100 and that count toward the credit requirements of a certificate, diploma, associate degree or baccalaureate degree. Developmental courses are not eligible for advanced standing credit. > The articulated courses are identified at the end of a course description in this registration catalog and are matched with college courses for purposes of allowing students to apply high school credits toward college credits. > The student must enroll at one of the participating colleges after high school graduation to receive the credit on the college transcript for the courses. > Certificates are traditionally accepted at participating colleges up to three years past a student’s high school graduation. > District 279 students take the identified high school courses at their respective 279 high schools, not on a college campus. > District 279 offers the named high school elective course that has an 80% match or better with curriculum of the identified college courses; therefore making the credit agreement. > Typically students receiving a “B” grade or better in the high school course (Keyboarding requires an “A”) will receive a certificate showing successful completion of the course. > The student certificate also identifies each postsecondary school that will accept the certificate and apply it toward elective credit on the college transcript; once the student is enrolled at the college after high school graduation. > The student is responsible for presenting the certificate to College Admissions. > Course names, content and competencies represented in the articulation agreements are reviewed by secondary and postsecondary partners on an annual or biannual basis; or on a rotation basis for regional agreements. > Talk with department staff, Counselor or CRC staff if you have questions. For additional articulation information and to print out completion certificates, go to ctecreditmn.com. CERTIFICATIONS These pathways offers students the opportunity to earn College, Professional and/or Industry Aligned Academic Certifications. Certifications are used to obtain industry employment. They also demonstrate to industry partners which competencies students have obtained and are ready to be utilized in the college and career setting. HIGH SCHOOL LEARNING PATHWAYS The goal of amplifying each of these learning pathways is to celebrate the multiple modalities in which Osseo Senior High prepares scholars for life beyond our doors. Scholars who explore these experiences seek to develop employable skills–many of which are grounded in a work-based learning model. Our pathways celebrate a strength-based model for learning because our scholars can demonstrate and strengthen their transferable career goals. Transition planning starts now!
