Electives
 
World Languages: In our global society, taking multiple years of a World Language is highly recommended for all post-secondary endeavors and is a requirement for many colleges. 
Related High School Electives: Supplementary materials including the student ‘Course Guide’ showing elective course offerings that relate to each career cluster are available in the schools and on the district web site at: http://www.davenport.k12.ia.us/students.asp
Sample Focused Elective Sequences: With the diverse array of career opportunities available under each career cluster, there is no one right combination of elective course offerings. Students, in conjunction with parents, counselors and other caring adults must determine what is right for them. More details can be found at: http://davenportschools.org/curriculum/ACP/Foc_El.pdf 
Sample Career-Focused Elective Sequences Follow:
Welding: Basic Welding 0.5; Advanced Welding 0.5; Vocational Welding 3.0 
Manufacturing-Related: Choose at least 3 units: Metals, Materials & Processes 0.5; Advanced Metals, Materials & Processes 0.5; Basic Welding 0.5; Advanced Welding 0.5; Vocational Welding 3.0; Introduction to Electronics 0.5; Alternative Energy Today 0.5; Earth Materials 0.5; Environmental Studies 0.5
