  11. Okay, Now What?Some Recommendations. . . . . • Link Career Technical instruction to a career theme • Strengthen the senior year • Make sure instruction relates to the students’ career interests and aspirations

  12. More Recommendations. . . • Link instruction to careers and postsecondary education – What will the students need in 10-15 years? • Make all CTE programs more intellectually demanding- (High expectations) • Make sure all students are following a plan/program of study

  13. So where do Career Clusters fit in? What are they? • Career Clusters are groupings of occupations and industries • These groupings are used as an organizing tool for: • Curriculum Design • Instructional + Guidance Model • Seamless Transition

  14. What about Career Pathways? • A Career pathwayrepresents a grouping of occupations within a cluster based on commonalities

  15. What are the Plans of Study? • A sequenced listing of courses, both academic and CTE/degree major, that connects student’s high school and postsecondary educational experiences • A set of course descriptions for the CTE/degree major courses based on knowledge and skill statements

  16. Our Rules for Development-POS • POS are only samples • Template is set-No Tinkering! • Coursework must be rigorous enough to ensure postsecondary success • Course titles are only examples • CTE/degree major courses must be based on K & S statements • POS are only samples

  17. The Most Important Aspects of Career Clusters??? • Cluster Foundation Knowledge and Skills • Career Pathway Knowledge and Skills

  18. What about Local Implementation? • What do Plans of Study look like and how are they developed for the local level? • Can I still teach all of the same courses? • How will I know what to teach?

  19. What’s Next?
