Course Description:

Students continue to explore careers in the education and training career cluster and related pathways. This course provides hands-on opportunities for students to examine careers in education, observe professional practice, and apply professional standards and educational theory. In an authentic practicum experience, students will be able to teach lessons, manage classrooms, create learning opportunities, and build their professional portfolio in the process. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.

Note:

The ParaPro Assessment (ETS Code 1755, single test) is transitioning to the new ParaPathways Assessment (ETS Code 5757), which now consists of two subtests: Reading and Writing (5758) and Mathematics (5759).

Candidates must pass both subtests to earn the certification. During the transition period from Sept. 1, 2025, through Aug. 31, 2026, both the retiring ParaPro and the new ParaPathways assessments were active. However, the last day to take the ParaPro Assessment was June 30, 2026, which means some candidates may still receive either one test score (ParaPro) or two subtest scores (ParaPathways), depending on which assessment format they completed.

The Virginia Department of Education Office of Career and Technical Education requests that individuals taking the ParaPathways Assessment continue to use the ParaPro Assessment test name and reporting code, because the Board-approved credentials list cannot be updated at this time.
