The purpose of this guide is to assist teachers and administrators in the implementation of relevant and rigorous collections of evidence for the Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CAM) Career-Related Learning Standards (CRLS) and Extended Application Standard (EA). This guide also provides necessary information to help schools meet the 2006-07 diploma requirements. The guide was created from work with teachers in 11 high schools who collaborated for two years on a Career-Related Learning Standards and Extended Application Standard Assessment Pilot. Lessons learned from these schools and samples of student work gathered during the pilot test are included to give schools ideas for implementation, based on the experience of students and teachers in the pilot schools. The primary purpose of the CAM is to help each student prepare for successful post-high school transitions. This proposes an integrated learning system for students that emphasizes: (1) Personalized learning; (2) high academic expectations for all; (3) relevant academic learning; (4) post-high school planning for "next steps"; (5) learning beyond the classroom; and (6) Immersion in the adult world. To receive a CAM, a student must: (1) Develop an Education Plan and build an Education Profile; (2) Meet the performance standard for extended application through a collection of evidence; (3) Demonstrate career-related knowledge and skills; (4) Participate in Career-Related Learning Experiences as outlined in the Education Plan; and (5) Meet specific Certificate of Initial Mastery (CIM) performance standards in English, mathematics, and science through CIM assessment options.
