California Department of Education (and many post-secondary institutions) now recognize CTE Pathway Completion as an important measure of college and career readiness. Upon pathway completion, students can receive certificates, a notation on their transcript, and a special diploma seal for each pathway they complete.
In order to become a pathway completer, a student must complete 20 credits in both a concentrator and capstone course in the same pathway. At Sage Creek, students take Digital Photography 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B to complete their Design, Visual, and Media Arts Pathway.
This series of four courses take a student from an introductory level to an intermediate level in photography. The course progression aims to teach both the technical and creative aspects of digital imagery, and to inspire a life-long passion for photography!
Why complete a pathway?
CTE coursework may enable students to make more informed education and career choices.
Completing more specialized CTE coursework in high school is associated with earning higher early-career wages, with a wage increase of 2 percent for every advanced CTE class taken.
