Career and Technical Education
Career and Technical Education provides pathways for students to achieve success through secondary schools and post education. Through pathways and structured training students will learn the skills to be successful in the career or education path of their choice! Students are given opportunities to participate in student led organizations (CTSO) that help teach them leadership skills and achieve success on a state and national level. There are coordinators at different High Schools that you can contact with school specific questions and comments. CTE offers classes in different programs.
DLI is a way students learn academic content while learning another language at the same time. DLI ensures that your child will be learning Utah Core Content and become bilingual and biliterate in a second language and English.
Utah State Board of Education Advanced Placement Information
Advanced Placement (AP) is a program in the United States and Canada created by College Board that offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. AP courses are invariably more rigorous than other high school offerings. American colleges and universities may grant placement and course credit to students who obtain high scores on the AP examinations. According to the Utah State Board of Education, a recent United States Department of Education study shows that participation in AP and other challenging high school courses is one of the strongest predictors of college success.
The EdTech mission is to work with stakeholders to elevate instruction by: identifying and implementing transformative solutions, creating pedagogically sound experiences, and developing and providing necessary support.
TCSD has designed GEM to meet the cognitive and affective needs of identified gifted students. Starting in 3rd grade, a continuum of program options provides a beneficial learning environment and curriculum designed to meet the needs of gifted/talented and high-ability students.
Through partnerships with Utah Higher Education Institutions, Tooele County School District is able to offer concurrent enrollment classes. These classes are actual college courses that students take and earn a college grade. These grades are recorded on both high school and college transcripts. Our general education classes are offered through Utah State University. We offer other classes through Salt Lake Community College, Weber State University, and Snow College. Classes are offered face to face by TCSD staff, as well as broadcasted by university and college faculty.
