SHS P-TECH Application.pdfThe planned Snyder ISD P-TECH program is not a high school only initiative. In grades PK-5 the focus will be on creating student awareness of careers in the P-TECH program. As part of the planned future expansion of the P-TECH program, identified expansion programs will also be promoted in PK-5 grades. Campuses will be evaluated on the effectiveness of awareness programs using a local accountability system.
In grades 6-8, students will have opportunities to explore P-TECH careers via career rotation classes, job shadowing opportunities, intentional field trips, and career exploration software. Students in 8th grade will have the opportunity to earn 9th grade credit in P-TECH pathways.
The annual recruitment plan includes a work/life simulation in January/February for all 8th graders with business partners offering the simulation to expose students to the importance of career and college decisions. The WBL and Academic Coordinators from High School will present all students with P-TECH options following the simulation with student planning meetings held during April with 100% of the 8th grade students being placed on a college and career prep graduation plan including needed supports based on academic data. Spring parent meetings will be held for both 8th grade parents and high school parents to maintain enrollment during March, April, and May. All information is presented digitally through district website and social media. It is also provided in both English & Spanish.
An annual summer bridge programs will be offered for TSI preparation, math and reading support as needed. Although applications and student/parent commitments are required for P-TECH participation, program enrollment is not based on past academic achievement.
The district will monitor sub-population enrollment numbers and address targeted recruiting efforts as needed in order to prevent program participation from becoming skewed in a single direction.
