RULE:

Career and Technical Education and Adult General Education Standards and Industry-Driven Benchmarks

PURPOSE:

This amendment will adopt three revised postsecondary programs (Barber; Nails Specialty; Facials Specialty) to satisfy newly adopted revisions by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), the enforcement authority for the professional boards and programs of Cosmetology and Barbaring, authorizing the reduction of training hours based on the Administrative Rules for Barbering: 61G3-16.001, Facials Specialty: 61G5-22.017, and Nails Specialty: 61G5-22.016. These programs were included in the May 13, 2020 presentation of this rule to the State Board of Education, however, House Bill 1193, an act reducing the training requirements, was signed into law by Governor DeSantis on June 30, 2020. The bill requires the State Board of Education (SBE) to approve and identify in the course code directory (CCD) the official length of all Career and Technical Education programs. In addition this amendment will adopt 2 new college credit certificates: Pattern-Making and Construction (21 credit hours) that is a stackable credential toward the award of the Fashion Design Associate in Science degree; and Lending (32 credit hours) that is a stackable credential toward the award of the Financial Services AS degree.  This amendment adopts revised and new career and technical education frameworks and adult general education standards for the 2020-2021 academic year in the documents entitled “Career and Technical Education Programs, Academic Year 2020-2021 Curriculum Frameworks by Career Cluster” and the “Adult General Education Standards and Curriculum Frameworks 2020-2021.”

SUMMARY:

The Department is responsible for developing program standards and industry-driven benchmarks for career and technical education and adult general education programs.  The criteria for qualification of individual courses for inclusion in secondary and postsecondary career education programs and adult general education programs prescribed in Workforce Education programs are annually adopted by the State Board and are published by the Commissioner on the Department’s website.  These criteria are hereby incorporated by this rule and made a part of the rules of the State Board.
