  2. What is a Career Field? Career Field A career field is a grouping of occupations and broad industries based on commonalities. Content standards are written to the career field and the careers for which the pathway programs will focus. Pathway Course

  3. What is a CTE Pathway? A pathway program prepares students for a range of careers for one or more industry sectors within a career cluster. It includes a sequence of rigorous academic and career-technical courses, commencing as early as the 7th grade and leads to a college degree, an industry recognized certificate and/or licensure. Prepares students for job opportunities after high school and provides opportunities to enter and succeed in postsecondary and continuing education programs. Career Field Pathway Course

  4. What is a CTE Course? Career Field A course is an instructional unit that includes a set of defined outcomes and competencies and provides a measure of evaluation and assessment. Pathway Course

  9. Structure of NEW CTE Content Standards

  10. Format of the NEW DesignTechnical Content Standards Course & Unit Descriptions Strand: Strands are large content areas under which multiple outcomes are organized. • Includes a concise description that captures multiple, broad areas of learner knowledge and skills expected across the strand and, to the extent possible, the multiple outcomes under the strand. Outcome: • Outcomesare overreaching statements that summarizes the knowledge and skills described in the overall set of individual competencies that follow. Competency: • Competencies are specific statements of essential knowledge or skill to be learned in the components of the pathway program.

  11. CTE Technical Content Standards New Standards Old Standards = Strand Multiple Units = Outcome Multiple Competencies = One or more competencies plus indicators Competency

  12. One Common Strand:Business 21st Century Standards • Knowledge Management • Employability • Financial Management • Business Ethics and Law • Business Leadership and Communication • Business Literacy • Business Operations • Marketing • Entrepreneurship • Global Environment
