| (a) General requirements. This course is recommended
for students in Grades 10-12. Prerequisite: Audio/Video Production
I. Corequisite: Audio/Video Production II. This course must be taken
concurrently with Audio/Video Production II and may not be taken as
a stand-alone course. Districts are encouraged to offer this lab in
a consecutive block with Audio/Video Production II to allow students
sufficient time to master the content of both courses. Students shall
be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course.
(b) Introduction.
(1) Career and technical education instruction provides
content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical
knowledge and skills for students to further their education and succeed
in current or emerging professions.

Career Cluster focuses on careers in designing, producing, exhibiting,
performing, writing, and publishing multimedia content, including
visual and performing arts and design, journalism, and entertainment
services.
