WHICH CHOICE IS BEST FOR YOU?
• How do you know which path is best for you?
• After all, you’re only in 8th grade, right? – HOW
ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW ALREADY?!?
• Well, you’re not …
• High school & beyond will help you determine
that
• But we need a starting point!
• So, how do we determine which choice is best
for you?
• Look at an online questionnaire to help you determine some
things about yourself

WHICH CHOICE IS RECOMMENDED?
• Chaparral Star Academy is a school designed with
a particular student in mind
• “enabling young minds to pursue their passion in a
community of excellence”
• The model of the school is to offer accelerated &
challenging curriculum within a compacted
schedule to offer students a college preparatory
education
• Whereas a 4-year university is not for every student,
the model of the school encourages all students to
attend a 4-year university and gives him/her the
necessary skills for success at the university level
THE GOAL IS TO BE COLLEGE READY
• Our goal as a high school is to
prepare you for the rigor and high
expectations of collegiate
education at a 4-year university
• Basically, to be college ready
• But what does that mean?

THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
• Programs of Study are specific pathways students can
choose to follow to help him/her become college ready
• The Programs of study (PoS) fall under 16 career clusters
THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
Though all core courses are
incorporated as part of the
planning process, Programs
of Study at CSA primarily
focus on a student’s
ELECTIVE CHOICES
THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
 Programs of study can be the centerpiece of the
guidance program.
 Programs of study help students plan an
individualized coherent educational path.
 Programs of study will be the basis for your Personal
Graduation Plans (PGP)
 Under each career cluster, there are various PoS,
totaling 87 different PoS
 Under each PoS, there are various “models” based
on 124 different career goals / “careers”
THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
• For example, under the Human Services career
cluster, there are the 5 following Programs of Study
(POS):
• Consumer Services
• Counseling & Mental Health Services
• Early Childhood Development Services
• Family & Community Services
• Personal Care Services
THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
• And under the Consumer Services PoS, there are 3

clusters
THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
REMEMBER:
When it comes to course
selection, though all core
courses are incorporated as
part of the planning process,
Programs of Study primarily
focus on a student’s
ELECTIVE CHOICES
THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
The focus of Chaparral Star Academy is
geared toward preparing a student for the
rigor of a 4-year university. Courses offered
reflect the most current expectations for
college entrance and preparedness.
Whereas our options for numerous careerspecific elective courses is limited, students
have the opportunity to create an academic
foundation for postsecondary success.
CSA PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
• Under the Human Services Career Cluster
• Counseling & Mental Health Services
• Under the Arts, A/V Technology &
Communications Career Cluster
• Visual Arts
• Under the Information Technology Career
Cluster
• Program and Software Development
• Under ALL of the Career Clusters
• Multidisciplinary – very similar to the “4x4” plan, not careerspecific, but COLLEGE PREPARATORY
CSA PROGRAMS OF STUDY (POS)
COHERENT SEQUENCES
• Coherent sequences of CTE courses parallels the mission of the
career clusters
• A coherent sequence is a sequence of ELECTIVE courses that a
student can take through a career cluster to help him/her
achieve college-ready skills in the cluster most closely related
to the program of study chosen
• Basically, it’s 3-4 ELECTIVE courses that a student takes
throughout high school that helps him/her gain skills for a
certain profession.
• For our individual meeting, a choice of which coherent
sequence to follow will need to be made
• However, a student can choose to change his/her coherent
sequence (or not take one) after his/her sophomore year
(possibly earlier)
• The PoS represents the entire course selection of a student,
and the coherent sequence is just a specific path of electives
LET’S LOOK AT AN EXAMPLE: THE ARTS, A/V
TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATIONS CAREER
CLUSTER:
FRESHMAN
SOPHOMORE
JUNIOR
SENIOR
WHAT COHERENT SEQUENCES WILL
CSA OFFER?
• CSA will offer three coherent sequences from the
following career clusters:
HUMAN SERVICES
CSA will offer the following coherent
sequence under Human Services:
1.) Principles of Human Services
2.) Interpersonal Studies
3.) Counseling & Mental Health
4.) Practicum in Human Services
ARTS, AV TECH & COMM
CSA will offer the following coherent
sequence under Arts, A/V Technology

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
CSA will offer the following coherent
sequence under Information
Technology:
1.) Principles of Information Tech
2.) Computer Programming
3.) Adv. Comp. Programming
4.) Research in IT Solutions
COHERENT SEQUENCES
A student DOES NOT have to follow a
coherent sequence in order to
graduate.
However, for scheduling, all 8th graders
must choose to start one during his/her
freshman year.

WHAT IS HB5?
• During the recent Texas Legislative session, state
leaders in Austin approved House Bill 5, a bill that
changes high school graduation plans offered in
the state of Texas.
• HB5, as the bill is known, was designed to instill more
flexibility in public education by providing
graduation planning that enables students to follow
a traditional path into colleges and universities, or
move more directly into the workforce.
• It allows for MORE CHOICES
TESTING REQUIREMENTS
• Successful performance on five STAAR End-of
Course tests is required for high school graduation.
• Students who do not pass an end-of-course exam
will be given the support and assistance they need
to successfully complete a retest.
• The 5 EOC Tests needed to graduate are:
•
•
•
•
•
English I
English II
Algebra I
Biology
US History
GRADUATION: THE FOUNDATION
PLAN
• HB 5 created a new graduation plan
called the FOUNDATION PLAN
• The FOUNDATION PLAN replaces the
previous Minimum, Recommended and
Distinguished plans offered to students as
options for graduation, and is the plan
under which students entering high
school during the 2014-15 academic year
and beyond will graduate
THE ACTUAL FOUNDATION PLAN
• The Foundation Plan is:
• English I, II, III & an advanced English course [4 credits]
• Algebra I, Geometry & an advanced math course [3 credits]
• Biology & 2 advanced science courses (one could be IPC) [3
credits]
• US History, Gov/Econ & (World Geography OR World History) [3
credits]
• PE [1 credit]
• Language Other than English I & II [2 credits]
• Fine Arts [1 credit]
• Electives [5 credits]
• This is for a total of 22 credits
• This is now considered a high school diploma and is all
that is required for graduation.
REMEMBER…
You can be ANYTHING you want to
be!!!
You can ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING!!!
And best of all, YOU can go to
college!!
ENDORSEMENTS
• The FOUNDATION PLAN expands the availability of
career and technology (CTE) courses, and encourages
students to select a personal pathway of study, called
an ENDORSEMENT
• In addition to the foundation plan, a student can
choose to take additional courses to earn an
ENDORSEMENT
• A student must earn at least 26 credits to earn an
ENDORSEMENT (basically 4 more credits)
• 2 of those 4 additional credits must include additional
math & science courses (bringing each of those up to 4
credits)
ENDORSEMENTS
• There are 5 possible ENDORSEMENTS (each with a
distinct theme)
• STEM
• Business & Industry
• Public Services
• Arts & Humanities
• Multidisciplinary
ENDORSEMENTS
• All students entering the 9th grade will be required to
select an endorsement pathway when scheduling
courses
• The student and his/her parent(s)/legal guardian(s) will
be advised of the benefits of the plan
• Endorsements can be changed at any time
• Written parent consent and a parent meeting are
required when a student elects to graduate on the
FOUNDATION plan without endorsements, but only
after a student’s sophomore year
ENDORSEMENTS
• Students who graduate with no endorsement will be
eligible to apply to all 4-year schools in the state of
Texas
• But he/she will not qualify for Top Ten consideration
• The commissioner & the state recommend that all
students graduate with an endorsement
• Chaparral Star Academy expects & encourages all
students to graduate with an endorsement
• Doing so ensures students have the maximum
opportunity and options available to them

WHAT ARE THE WAYS TO EARN EACH
ENDORSEMENT AT CSA?
• Given that we are a small school with a limited
schedule, we can’t offer all of the Programs of
Study (POS) and therefore all of the possible paths
available in every endorsement
• But we can offer EVERY ENDORSEMENT
• Examples of how a student can obtain each
endorsement will be available on our website
• A student can (and will most likely) earn more than
1 endorsement before graduation.
BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE
NOW???
• You choice is not set in stone, but we do need a
starting point
• The best way to start is to visit

and what make a good career path for you!
• In fact, for the meeting, you will need to choose at
least program of study from which to develop your
Personal Graduation Plan (PGP)
THE PERSONAL GRADUATION PLAN
• HB5 requires that each student have a Personal
Graduation Plan (PGP)
• At the individual meetings, Mr. B and you will
develop your PGP
• It outlines numerous things about the student’s plan
throughout high school
• Primarily, it contains information about the courses
the student will take
• This is a WORKING document and can (and most
likely WILL) change throughout high school
DISTINGUISHED LEVEL OF
ACHEIVEMENT
• A student may earn a distinguished level
of achievement by successfully
completing:
• four credits in mathematics, which must include
Algebra II
• four credits in science
• the Foundation Plan requirements
