This document contains materials developed for and about the environmental technology tech prep program of the South-Western City Schools in Ohio. Part 1 begins with a map of the program, which begins with an environmental science technology program in grades 11 and 12 that leads to entry-level employment or a 2-year environmental technology program at a community college that in turn leads to a technical career or transfer to a four-year college or university. Also included in part 1 are the high school curriculum pathways and pathway narratives. Part 2, which constitutes approximately 90% of the document, lists the program's (unleveled) secondary technical and academic competencies. In part 3, the secondary competencies are leveled for a high school. Parts 4-7 contain the following: postsecondary competencies; labor market data; list of advisory/review committee members; and program application (information on employment opportunities in the area, potential exit occupations for the program, and plans for the program's delivery). The following are among the categories of competencies included: environmental management and resource conservation; local and global natural resources; industrial pollution control; environmental project coordination; environmental assessment; biological surveying and monitoring; the scientific method; and research methodology.
