  3. Where We’ve Been • Findings from Gap Analysis conducted by Dr. Jim Stone, Director, National Research Center for Career & Technical Education: • Our current CTE programs are not preparing students for high-growth, high-demand jobs • Many of our high schools are offering the same CTE career pathways, causing redundancy in low-demand fields • The school facilities are not adequate to support the types of CTE programs being offered or that need to be offered, and • The instructional models are not innovative in providing students opportunities for internships, student-run businesses or student organizations to support the career pathways

  13. Where We Are States, districts and schools all have an interest in ensuring that their graduates are college and career ready… State standards are necessary but not sufficient for college and career readiness…

  14. Where We Are State standards do not typically address: • Collaboration • Creativity and innovation • Project and task management • Workplace professionalism and ethics • Grit and persistence • Empathy and respect for diversity • Direct knowledge about college and careers

  15. Where We Are Headed • Innovative High School Programs: • aligned to local labor market demand • partnered with specific, invested business partner(s) • delivering postsecondary credit and/or industry-recognized certification • providing internship, job shadow and field experiences • including student-based enterprise • leading to stackable credentials

  29. Strong career and technical education alone can’t produce career success

  30. Career Pathways provide a new approach

  31. Linked Learning prepares students for college and career,not just one or the other

  32. Key Components: Linked Learning Pathways A comprehensive four-year program of study, integrating: 1. A college-preparatory academic coreemphasizing real-world applications 2. A technical core of three or more courses meeting industry standards; providing certification 3. A systemic and integrated approach to work-based learning 4. Personalized student supports—academic counseling, social-emotional and college and career guidance

  33. Common Pathway Features • Personalized setting of 250-500 studentsin grades 9-12 • Provide cohort scheduling of students • Allows for common planning time for teachers • Utilize a common set of pathway studentlearning outcomes to guide and alignassessment, curriculum, and instruction

  34. Common Pathway Features • Blend rigorous academic and career-themedcourse content through rigorous and relevant standards-aligned projects • Offer dual-enrollment and dual-credit with college institutions and technical certificate opportunities

  35. Systemic Approach to High Quality Career Pathways

  36. Pathways Provide New Ways To Collaborate Pathways shift teacher practicefrom… this… to this... ELA Science Industry Math

  37. Pathway Teacher Teams Will create interdisciplinary projects
