Background: The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) was directed to develop a list of career and technical education (CTE) courses with content in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) equivalent to academic science or mathematics courses that meet high school graduation requirements.
The list was to be developed before the 2015-16 school year. OSPI may periodically update or revise the list.
Summary: The development of CTE equivalency courses is changed from those courses with STEM content equivalent to academic mathematics and science courses to those CTE courses equivalent to academic courses in English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, arts, world languages, or health and physical education.
