"Implementing CAM, Credit for Proficiency and
New High School Graduation Requirements
through Professional Technical Education"
At the January 12, 2005, meeting of the PAVTEC
Representative Council, Dennis Mattoon made
this presentation. Many in attendance asked to
have access to it to which he graciously
consented. Click on the link above to view it.
The first four and last three slides (with a
green background) are designed to introduce
and summarize the presentation to adults. He
uses the slides in between (with blue
background) to help his students understand
the
Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CAM) and how
it applies to his classes.
Dennis has been a teacher at Reynolds High
School for over 15 years. Reynolds High School
is a pilot site and pioneer for many of the
high school reform initiatives including
credit for proficiency, new diploma
requirements, career pathways, career related
learning standards, etc. He has been very
personally involved in each. His presentation
deals more with the
teacher application of these
initiatives rather than the administrative
organizational structural elements.
We are grateful to Dennis for his sharing of
this document.
