The Problems
Engagement – attending school and completing (graduating from) high school
Achievement – academic (and technical) course taking; grades, test scores
Transition – to postsecondary education without the need for remediation; and to the workplace

How Hiring Practices Will Change

The Programs of Study must include both academic and CTE/degree major courses; and
The Programs of Study must lead somewhere – a credential, certificate, license,
degree, etc.25
“Need to Know” Information about Perkins?
![Page 26: Arkansas Career and Technical Leadership Institute Ann and Gene Benson Education Consultants](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815a35550346895dc77532/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The programs of study must correlate to the
Arkansas Frameworks.
26
In Addition,
![Page 27: Arkansas Career and Technical Leadership Institute Ann and Gene Benson Education Consultants](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815a35550346895dc77532/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Career Clusters are groupings of occupations and industries
A Career Pathway represents a grouping of occupations within a cluster based on commonalities
A Program of Study is the plan to get students from high school entry to success in careers and postsecondary education.
27
So where do Career Clusters fit in? What are they?
![Page 28: Arkansas Career and Technical Leadership Institute Ann and Gene Benson Education Consultants](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815a35550346895dc77532/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A Program of Study is the plan to get students from high school entry to success in careers and postsecondary education.
It’s not hard, but someone has to take the lead and dedicate the time.
28
Let’s say it again……
![Page 29: Arkansas Career and Technical Leadership Institute Ann and Gene Benson Education Consultants](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815a35550346895dc77532/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

NOT – What you call courses.NOT – How many courses you include.
It’s being sure students get the content they need.
The Key is the Knowledge and Skills Statements (YOU MIGHT CALL THEM STANDARDS) and the Arkansas Frameworks.

As we work through the process,
What’s Most Important?

A strategy to organize instruction and student experiences around career themes
It incorporates existing school reform strategies
It links the various levels of education
It causes academic courses and CTE/degree major courses to have a linkage
It gives faculty members a reason to work together

◦It puts a “reason” into what students are learning, reducing remediation and increasing academic and career success
◦It enables articulation within and between schools and can increase consistency for better data and shared opportunities for development
◦It connects to business and industry◦It provide opportunities for all students!!
