What is RPOS?
A Program of Study is a comprehensive, structured approach for delivering academic and CTE to prepare students for postsecondary education and career success

Where are we?
Carl Perkins IV & Programs of Study
Incorporate and align secondary and postsecondary education elements

Include academic and CTE content in a coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses
Offer the opportunity, where appropriate, for secondary students to acquire postsecondary credits, and
Lead to an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree
Where are we going?
Investing in America's Future: A Blueprint for Transforming Career and Technical Education
Effective ALIGNMENT between CTE and labor market needs to equip students with 21st-century skills and prepare them for in-demand occupations in high-growth industry sectors
Strong COLLABORATION among secondary and postsecondary institutions, employers, and industry partners to improve the quality of CTE programs
Meaningful ACCOUNTABILITY for improving academic outcomes and building technical and employability skills in CTE programs, based upon common definitions and clear metrics for performance
Increased emphasis on INNOVATION supported by systemic reform of state policies and practices to support CTE implementation of effective practices at the local level.

RPOS
Decision Marking Framework1 framework piece ≠ 10%Doing a lot of things right!
LEGISLATION & POLICIES
Federal, state, and local legislation or administrative policies promote POS development and implementation.
PARTNERSHIPS
Ongoing relationships among education, business, and other community stakeholders are central to POS design, implementation, and maintenance.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Sustained, intensive, and focused opportunities for administrators, teachers, and faculty foster POS design, implementation, and maintenance.
ACCOUNTABILITY & EVALUATION SYSTEMS
Systems and strategies to gather quantitative and qualitative data on both POS components and student outcomes are crucial for ongoing efforts to development and implement POS.
COLLEGE & CAREER READINESS STANDARDS
Content standards that define what students are expected to know and be able to do to enter and advance in college and/or their careers comprise the foundation of a POS.
COURSE SEQUENCES
Non-duplicative sequences of secondary and postsecondary courses within a POS ensure that students transition to postsecondary education without duplicating classes or requiring remedial coursework.
(Individual Career Plan)
CREDIT TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
Credit transfer agreements provide opportunities for secondary students to be awarded transcripted postsecondary credit, supported with formal agreements among secondary and postsecondary education systems.
(Cooperative Alliance Program)
GUIDANCE COUNSELING & ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
Guidance counseling and academic advisement help students to make informed decisions about which POS to pursue.
TEACHING & LEARNING STRATEGIES
Innovative and creative instructional approaches enable teachers to integrate academic and technical instruction and students to apply academic and technical learning in their POS coursework.
TECHNICAL SKILLS ASSESSMENTS
National, state, and/or local assessments provide ongoing information on the extent to which students are attaining the necessary knowledge and skills for entry into and advancement in postsecondary education and careers in their chosen POS.
Credentials
Lead to an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree

Oklahoma Programs of Study Summit
Caddo Kiowa Technology Center
Take a closer look at its Visual Design Program of Study to be better able to align programs and policies and make changes necessary to integrate RPOS Study into Oklahoma’s Career Pathways system, to align partner school offerings and CareerTech programs with the needs of business and industry and to begin addressing the skills gap and contributing to state and local economic growth and development.
Choctaw High School
Enhance and improve all Career Academy curricula including Program of Study materials, partner participation, curriculum presentation and resources/materials availability.
Claremore High School
Enhance its Zebra Advisement Program. The program enhances students’ awareness of educational and career opportunities and helps students make meaningful and informed choices regarding their preparation for the future. The programs uses consistent individualized guidance and joint student/parent/teacher comprehensive planning. In the last 14 years, ZAP has averaged a 95 percent participation rate of parents/guardians at ZAP enrollment time.
Meridian Technology Center
Working to create awareness of the Oklahoma A F Report Card, industry credentials and ‐postsecondary opportunities through the Cooperative Alliance Program.
Mid America Technology Center
Mid America is working to improve ‐communication with its sending schools and how it uses data across its campus. The technology center will work to use existing and emerging technology to enhance the process by collecting accurate and timely data relating to course work, assessments and guidance/counseling plans.
OSUIT
OSUIT will work to evaluate college readiness in Oklahoma’s Cooperative Alliance students. OSUIT established college credit articulation agreements with many of Oklahoma’s CareerTech centers in the 1980s. Since then, these agreements have grown and developed into the Cooperative Alliance agreements. OSUIT has Cooperative Alliance agreements with more than 50 technology center campuses. Approximately 10 percent to 15 percent of OSUIT students enter college with Cooperative Alliance credit. Many foundation courses for OSUIT’s degree programs are offered at CareerTech centers through these agreements.
Redlands Community College
Redlands will work to further enhance the child development programs that it has developed in partnership with Caddo Kiowa Technology Center.
Tulsa Community College
TCC is working toward improving high school transitions in manufacturing and aerospace. The college is looking at the technical components and aligning them with national credentials.
Tulsa Public Schools
The project for Tulsa Public Schools consisted of taking a look at professional development through Teacher Leader Effectiveness.
