Classroom Environment

Computer Essentials, Accounting, Applied Math, and Personal Finance are part of CTE (Career and Technical Education) and are taught in the C Wing at Central Valley High School. The classroom is equipped with HP Compaq computers with 17" flat monitors and scanners for student use.

These classes are all very hands-on courses in which most of the work will be completed during class time. Therefore, regular attendance is critical to student development. It is the student's responsibility to complete assignments missed because of an excused absence.

Classroom Rules:
Food and drink is not allowed in the computer lab.
Students are expected to act courteous and respectful at all times.
Be in their seat when the bell rings.
Clean their work area before leaving each day.

What CTE Can Do for High School Students

Develop "life" skills.
Students develop skills and knowledge in personal finance, time management, organization, and goal setting. This information will be applied throughout their lives.

Expand educational options.
Hands on in addition to eyes on. A business course relates academic subjects to real world situations.

Provide college prep and job prep.
Most programs include academic subjects needed to meet the entrance requirements of four-year colleges; and they include subjects that meet entry-level job requirements in related fields.

A path to success.
Business courses are insurance for economic productivity.

Acquire lifelong skills and habits to apply to any career.
Self-confidence, self-awareness, good work habits, problem solving, critical thinking, punctuality, reliability, team work, and leadership are part of Business Education. Students feel a sense of accomplishment.

Broaden lifelong work and student options.
Have the option to go to work, go to college, or do both, whenever ready! Start to prepare for careers in fields such as computers, office systems, international business, and small business ownership.

Help pay for college.
Skills acquired can help get better, higher-paying jobs. Earn more money--more quickly--to pay for college. Work part-time while attending college.

Pretest career interest before going to college.
Explore career interests through:

*Accounting
*Applied Math
*Business Communication
