5.7 Practicum Learning Experiences
Practicums are specific to a career cluster and combine classroom
instruction with learning experiences in a laboratory setting or at an
approved training site.
Practicums require that the local education agency and the training sponsor
plan and supervise instruction cooperatively. Students receive instruction by
participating in occupationally specific classroom instruction and training
site experiences.
Note: Time a student spends at a training site is instructionally engaged time,
up to 120 minutes per day. Required time at the training station counts toward
meeting full-time and half-time attendance requirements.
5.7.2 Practicum Course Eligibility Requirements
o Practicum courses and other two‐ to three‐credit CTE courses found in 19
TAC Chapter 130 may be used as laboratory‐based, paid, or unpaid work
experiences for students.
o Practicum courses using a work‐based learning instructional arrangement
must consist of student participation in training appropriate to the student's
coherent sequence of courses plus participation in related CTE classroom
instruction.
o A practicum course spans the entire year, and classroom instruction must
average one class period each day for every school week.
5.7.2 Practicum Course Eligibility Requirements (cont.)
o A student is expected to be enrolled the entire school year; however, in
accordance with local district policy, a student may enter or exit the
course when extenuating circumstances require such a change.
o A student must be a minimum age of 16 and hold valid work
documentation such as a Social Security card to enroll in any of the
practicum learning experiences that have a paid component.

o Written training plans must be on file for any student participating in either a paid or
unpaid learning experience at an approved training site except for a student
participating in an unpaid practicum for which the teacher of record provides all
training.
o A student in paid work‐based instruction may be counted for contact hours on the
first day of enrollment, provided a training plan for the student is on file within 15
school days of the student’s employment date.
o A student participating in unpaid practicum work‐based instruction may be counted
for contact hours on the first day of enrollment, provided a written training plan is
completed and on file before the student begins participating in training at the site.
5.7.4 Additional Requirements for Students
Participating in Paid Learning Experiences
For a student participating in paid experiences, employment must begin
within 15 school days of the student’s enrollment date. If a student’s
employment ends before the end of the school year, contact hours may be
