Engineering Pathway

engineering Project Lead The Way

This program is a sequence of courses which, when combined with traditional mathematics and science courses in high school, introduces students to the scope, rigor, and discipline of engineering prior to entering college. However, those not intending to pursue further formal education will benefit greatly from the knowledge and logical thought processes that result from taking some or all of the courses provided in the curriculum. Students may take a combination of courses based on their career interests within each level indicated.

Note: Upon completion of Introduction to Engineering Design, Principles of Engineering, and Digital Electronics, students may apply to take the industry certification test. Students have the option of receiving University of Minnesota college credit upon completion of the course if they maintain an 85% average, pass the end of course exam, and apply for the credit through the University of Minnesota in a timely manner. See instructor for more details.

English Graduation Requirements

Requirements:

  • English I
  • English II
  • English III
  • English IV (one semester elective)
  • English: Speech Foundations

Note: English for Multi Language Learners and some Special Education courses also meet English graduation requirements.

English Learners Program

When families arrive in the district, they fill out an intake form called the Minnesota Home Language survey. If on this survey, a family designates a language other than English, an English language assessment (called the WIDA Screener) is given to the student. The results determine English language proficiency and the appropriate services. Students may be placed in the Newcomer Center, or in a combination of EL classes and mainstream classes.

Newcomer Program

High school students with limited or no English preparation before their arrival are enrolled in the Newcomer classes available at each comprehensive high school. Students develop their English language skills to communicate and access information in English at a beginning level in listening, reading, speaking, writing, and visual literacy.

Minnesota is part of the WIDA Consortium. We use WIDA assessments to place and advance EL students. The WIDA levels are as follows:

WIDA Levels
Level 1:
Entering (Newcomer)
Level 2:
Beginning
Level 3:
Developing
Level 4:
Expanding
