Career and Technical Education:

Wisconsin Health Careers Awareness

No. 2159, 2002, 140 pp., $36

The Wisconsin Health Careers Awareness curriculum was developed and designed in partnership with Wisconsin Health Occupations Professional Educators (HOPE), health care professional science educators, secondary-level science educators, and the Department of Public Instruction's health education consultant and health sciences occupations education specialist to address Standard D-7 in the Wisconsin's Model Academic Standards for Health Education.

The standard states that "by the end of grade 8 a student will identify potential health careers and by the end of grade 12 a student will evaluate potential health careers based upon interest and abilities." In short, this standard defines what is to be learned at certain points in time and, from a broad perspective, what performances will be accepted as evidence that the learning has occurred. This curriculum contains activities and lessons at each grade level, instructional materials, and proven instructional techniques, and it outlines details of day-to-day schooling at the local level.
