CAREER CLUSTERS, PATHWAYS, AND COURSEWORK The Dothan City Schools Career and Technical Education program is designed to keep abreast of the rapid changes in business and industry by offering students a rigorous array of coursework to help prepare them for advanced learning and a wide range of career opportunities. Academic and workplace rigor prepare students for high-skill, high-wage, and/or high-demand careers. Academic and technical knowledge and skills have been identified that lead to a wide range of career opportunities. In most program areas credentials and certifications are established that validate the rigor of the curriculum to parents, students, and business and industry. In addition, articulation agreements in partnership with postsecondary institutions have been developed to allow for a seamless transition for students pursuing opportunities for continued education. Career clusters in Dothan City Schools’ curriculum include courses representative of the state and national career and technical education model. These clusters provide rigor and relevance for students by linking school-based learning with career-related experiences. By clustering courses a framework is put in place to show what students need to know and what they should be able to do for success in the twenty-first century. The career clusters offered by Dothan City Schools are as follows:

• Architecture and Construction

• Arts, Audio-Video Technology, and Communications

• Business, Management, and Administration

• Health Science

• Hospitality and Tourism

• Human Services

• Information Technology

• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics • Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Cluster

The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics cluster includes one pathway—Engineering and Technology. The high school engineering courses provide students with experience with general engineering design and application as they acquire discipline-specific knowledge that allows them to make informed career choices. Students choosing to enter this cluster should realize the close relationship of mathematics and science to the engineering and technology disciplines and expect to regularly apply these principles throughout the courses in this cluster. They enjoy challenging curricula involving practical applications of engineering principles and technological literacy. Knowledge gained by students in this cluster includes science and mathematics principles applicable to engineering and engineering-related careers. As technology continues its rapid expansion, adequately preparing students for engineering-related careers is essential and serves as the primary purpose of this cluster. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Cluster classroom and laboratories provide safe and appropriate settings for student exploration and learning. The structured, yet active environment stimulates students’ creativity and helps them develop the necessary skills for future employment. Students in the cluster affiliate with the Technology Student Association (TSA) and SkillsUSA as the co curricular Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). TSA and SkillsUSA provide opportunities that enhance classroom instruction, help develop leadership skills, and further career development. Pathway I: Engineering and Technology

A suggested the pathway for the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics cluster can be seen on the following page, if you are interested in pursing an Pre-Engineering career focus. See the Dothan City Schools Academic Guide for specific class information and fees.
