For a complete list of those courses consult the Career Planning catalogue available from the Career and Technology Education Division at the Texas Education Agency. The revised curriculum guides were available for districts beginning in November 1997. Updates to address advances in technology will be forthcoming as demand and advances in technology warrant. They include mentoring, shadowing, cooperative education and apprenticeships and any other work-based learning experience for students. As a result, TEKS categories contain a number of courses within each course category.
Districts can apply to the agency for approval of a new course offering as an innovative course.
To do so, use the TEKS of an appropriate course category for innovative course application. Submit the innovative course application in the TEKS format to the Division of Career and Technology Education.
