Preface Secondary CTE programs in Mississippi face many challenges resulting from sweeping educational reforms at the national and state levels. Schools and teachers are increasingly being held accountable for providing applied learning activities to every student in the classroom. This accountability is measured through increased requirements for mastery and attainment of competency as documented through both formative and summative assessments. This document provides information, tools, and solutions that will aid students, teachers, and schools in creating and implementing applied, interactive, and innovative lessons. Through best practices, alignment with national standards and certifications, community partnerships, and a hands-on, studentcentered concept, educators will be able to truly engage students in meaningful and collaborative learning opportunities. The courses in this document reflect the statutory requirements as found in Section 37-3-49, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended (Section 37-3-46). In addition, this curriculum reflects guidelines imposed by federal and state mandates (Laws, 1988, Ch. 487, §14; Laws, 1991, Ch. 423, §1; Laws, 1992, Ch. 519, §4 eff. from and after July 1, 1992; Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, 2019 [Perkins V]; and Every Student Succeeds Act, 2015).

Executive Summary Pathway Description Health science core is the first course for students in the health sciences career cluster. Currently, students in both the health care and clinical services or sports medicine pathways must take the health science core class before moving on to their specific pathway’s material. This core class provides the students with a solid foundation to move ahead in any health care field of his or her choice. The topics covered include safety, infection control, legal and ethical practices, career exploration, communication and teamwork, medical terminology, body organization, and basic anatomy and physiology of each major body system, along with various common diseases and disorders associated with each system. This course sets students on track to obtain a minimum of 100 hours of clinical-type experience by completion of the second course (HCCS). These hours can be documented in a digital or physical portfolio. It is recommended to spread these hours over the length of the program by giving students multiple opportunities to complete hours in the Health Science Core class. This clinical-type experience can include tours of healthcare facilities, guest speakers, participation in health fairs or health-related community service, laboratory and skills practice, classroom demonstrations, and observation or job shadowing experiences in various healthcare settings. Videos do not count toward this 100-hour requirement unless they are used in conjunction with hands-on training or classroom instruction. (e.g., CPR). This program also requires 35 of the 100 hours be recorded on the state-adopted digital portfolio platform. These 35 hours must meet the level four requirements detailed in the Mississippi Work-Based Learning Manual. The 35 hours are not in addition to the 100 program hours; rather, the 35 hours should be included in the 100 total hours required for program completion. College, Career, and Certifications By implementing the standards set forth in the health science core curriculum, students who successfully master the material should have the necessary skills and fundamental knowledge to be successful in any health care career field. Students who complete this program will also have a great advantage in any postsecondary education he or she may choose. In addition, students whose programs meet additional criteria and approval by their respective agencies can earn certifications that could help them in the future or even allow them to work in a health care setting. Various certifications available include nurse assistant/aid, CPR, phlebotomist, pharmacy technician, patient care technician, and others. Grade Level and Class Size Recommendations It is recommended that students enter this program as a freshman or sophomore. Exceptions to this are a district-level decision based on class size, enrollment numbers, and maturity of the student. Scheduling and/or operating more than one course in the same classroom/laboratory with the same teacher is not recommended. To enable the teacher to instruct students in skills on a one-on-one basis and to ensure all students have a good opportunity to job shadow/intern as much as possible, the recommended class size is no more than 12-15 students for both health science core and for the second course of their choice. Please be aware that health care facilities often require no more than a 10-to-1 student/teacher ratio to participate in job shadowing.

Career Pathway Outlook Overview The health science pathway covers the broad field of occupations related to health care and medicine. Health care is one of the top five fastest growing industries and one of the largest in the United States. The health sciences related fields such as nurse practitioner will generate up to 40% more new jobs in the coming years than any other industry according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In fact, 3 of the 20 fastest growing occupations in America are related to health care. Employment in home health care and nursing and residential care should increase rapidly as life expectancies rise and families need assistance caring for their elderly family members and thus rely more on long-term care facilities. New technologies will continue to enable earlier diagnoses of many diseases, which often increases the ability to treat conditions that were previously terminal. The health science pathway focuses on public health, health education, health care administration, or occupational health and safety. A shortlist of careers that this pathway focuses on contains positions like dietician, emergency medicine paramedic, licensed practitioner nurse (LPN), occupational therapist, physical therapist, pharmacist, physician assistant, and registered nurse (RN) among countless others. Health science professionals work in hospitals, dental offices and laboratories, governmental and private research centers. They also work within pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, the community in general, within public agencies, and large health care organizations. The health science pathway will target careers at the professional and technical levels in health care. Students enrolled in these courses should be well prepared to pursue degrees at the community college and four-year college level. Needs of the Future Workforce Throughout 2022, the health care and social assistance national market added an average of 47,000 jobs per month and the pay increased by nearly 4.5% according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In Mississippi, the average employment growth total from 2020 to 2030, is projected to increase by 9.5% for all general occupations combined. The data given in Table 1.1 below, including the average hourly earnings, was compiled from the Mississippi Department of Employment Security in 2022.

Best Practices Innovative Instructional Technologies Classrooms should be equipped with tools that will teach today’s digital learners through applicable and modern practices. The health science core educator’s goal should be to include teaching strategies that incorporate current technology. To make use of the latest online communication tools—wikis, blogs, podcasts, and social media platforms, for example—the classroom teacher is encouraged to use a learning management system that introduces students to education in an online environment and places more of the responsibility of learning on the student. Differentiated Instruction Students learn in a variety of ways, and numerous factors—students’ background, emotional health, and circumstances, for example—create unique learners. By providing various teaching and assessment strategies, students with various learning preferences can have more opportunities to succeed. CTE Student Organizations Teachers should investigate opportunities to sponsor a student organization. In MS, HOSA is the premier organization that fosters the types of learning expected from the health science core curriculum, with multiple opportunities and outlets for health. HOSA provides participants and members with growth opportunities, competitive events, and opens the door to the world of health care careers and scholarship opportunities. Cooperative Learning Cooperative learning can help students understand topics when independent learning cannot. Therefore, you will see several opportunities in the health science core curriculum for group work. To function in today’s workforce, students need to be able to work collaboratively with others and solve problems without excessive conflict. The health science core curriculum provides opportunities for students to work together and help each other complete complex tasks. There are many field experiences within the health science core curriculum that will allow and encourage collaboration with professionals currently in the health care field. Work-Based Learning Work-based learning is an extension of understanding competencies taught in the health science classroom. The health science program requires students to obtain a minimum of 35 clinical-type hours, which may include but is not limited to, clinicals or worksite field experiences, entrepreneurships, internships, pre-apprenticeships, school-based enterprises, job placements, and simulated worksites. These real-world connections and applications provide a link to all types of students regarding knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions. Thus, supervised collaboration and immersion into the health science industry are keys to students’ success, knowledge, and skills development.
