Course Design Courses are designed to reflect career-focused education, which combines high-level related academics with real-life technical skills. The intent is to maximize a student's present and future academic and career success.

Career-focused education enhances the integration of related academic and technical skills, designs programs that prepare students with transferable skills and promotes each student's career opportunities.

Pharmacy Technician Program Philosophy We believe that the primary goal of the Pharmacy Technician Program is to develop adults who will successfully work in the health care industry field in which they are trained as contributing members. We believe that the diversified nature of the curriculum offers opportunities for expanded knowledge and skill for our graduates that broaden their career choices beyond a Pharmacy Technician. Graduates possess skills which enhance their ability to secure and keep desirable employment.

We believe that the Pharmacy Technician Program offers students the opportunity to learn not only the art and science of multiple skills, but the spirit of the medical field. We believe that the self-confidence gained by the Pharmacy Technician student during completion of the course, coupled with the knowledge foundation gained, allows and encourages the graduate to continue learning formally or informally. We believe the Pharmacy Technician Program should enable students to gain knowledge and skills needed to enter the job market, participate in further educational programs and recognize the rights and responsibilities as productive citizens of our society.

Student Evaluation and Course Mastery Students are evaluated on the course objectives, professionalism, and attendance in each of the courses in the Pharmacy Technician Program. The Instructors use formative and summative evaluations strategies and tools to monitor student learning. The students are evaluated on learning objectives according to participation in class, hands-on activities, reports, presentations, case studies, and quizzes and exams. Students must maintain a 90% daily attendance in order to receive a certificate of completion and to be placed in an externship.

Academic Progress At the end of each evaluation period, a student must have achieved an overall minimum passing grade of 76% or better, based upon written tests and performance in practical and demonstration experience. The grading system is as follows: 93 = 100% = A = Excellent Achievement 4 Quality Points 84 = 92% = B = Good Achievement 3 Quality Points 76 = 83% = C = Satisfactory Achievement 2 Quality Points under 75% = F = Unacceptable Achievement 0 Quality Points

At each evaluation period, students achieving a minimum passing grade of 76% and attending the required minimum hours according to the attendance policy, will be deemed to be making satisfactory progress in their course of study. Any student not meeting the minimum requirements for academic or attendance progress will be considered to be making unsatisfactory progress and will be placed on “warning status”.

Related Academic and Technical Integration Expectations of curriculum must be aligned with what is written, taught, assessed, and reported. Student expectations focus on active, project-centered learning—an approach to learning that emphasizes a connection between ideas in a discipline and the outside world. Educational programming and course content will clearly connect career and future post-secondary opportunities. At the Warren County Career Center, the main goal is to design courses and projects that use strategies for authentic instruction. Leading to new employment opportunities, these characteristics of instruction focus on deep understanding, established opportunities for concept connections, provide anticipatory and abstract thinking, and emphasize genuine application.

The related academic courses in the WCCC's adult education programs support and enhance learning in career-technical programming follow the state model curricula. They are designed to meet requirements of local employers. These standards respond to the need to improve student achievement, quality of curriculum and instruction, and strengthen school and community relationships.

Job Shadowing/Externships/Career Placement The Warren County Career Center Externship/Placement/Job Shadowing Program involves placing students in meaningful career-based learning experiences to complement their classroom learning. The experiences relate to student interests within their chosen career-technical program and may include job shadowing, student intern/externships, or career placement. This process is designed by and supervised by the career-technical program coordinator.

Job Shadowing is designed to give the student a short-term overview of the many opportunities within a career field. Career-technical instructors confer with students to determine appropriate experiences.

Externships and Job Placement will vary somewhat, but during each experience students should accomplish the following goals:

1. Work with mentors, supervisors, co-workers, and others to accomplish assigned tasks that contribute to the long- and short-term goals of the student. All aspects of the internship/placement (including dates, times, responsibilities, evaluations, etc.) will be outlined in an approved Externship Learning Plan that is coordinated by the career-technical instructor.

2. Apply basic skills and knowledge to "real world" business settings and learn new skills that are relevant to the career path.

3. Demonstrate a solid understanding of the basic skills outlined in the Externship Learning Plan.

4. Reflect upon the internship/placement/job shadowing in terms of further post-secondary education/career options.

The criterion for participation in career-based learning experiences is outlined by the program coordinator.

The specifics of how these opportunities are offered in this career-technical program or statement of academic support are:

The student must complete core subject material and all material in their area of specialty to be eligible for the 200 hours of externship with an accredited organization. The following organizations have established agreements:

Please attach/input the following information: A. Unit Description: This course is designed to provide students that are interested in health care professions with an understanding that allows them to look at the total context of the patient’s situation from wellness through illness. The balance of the internal person, their physical, mental, spiritual being is examined along with their own external world in their community. This exposes the student to different beliefs and traditions in modern and traditional cultures. The student will explore cultural heritage and history that shows the underlying concepts of cultural diversity in our society and the relation of

health and illness. The relationship of the individual to the health care delivery system will be examined. An overview of traditional health beliefs and practices of select populations will be looked at. To finalize the course there will be an overview of historic socio-cultural, public health, and health policy events and medical milestones from 1900 to 2017. B. Related Program Learning Outcomes: Pharmacy Technician Program is required to complete the Pharmacy Technician Program and to prepare the student to obtain the national certification (PTCB) for Certified Pharmacy Technician once training is complete. C. Learning Objective: The student will be able to:

1. Explore and understand the way cultural heritage and history plays a part in one’s perception of health and illness. 2. Have an understanding of diversity, and demographic, immigration, and

poverty, and the impact on access to the health care system. 3. To allow the student an opportunity to explore his/her own perceptions, needs

and understanding of health and illness. 4. To have an understanding of the “Health Traditions Model,” and the concept of

health in broad and general terms. 5. Explore and understand the concept of healing and the role that faith, familial

health beliefs and traditions plays in it. 6. Understand the issues and differences in the allopathic health care delivery

system and the health care provider culture. 7. Explore and understand selected population groups, and the differences in
