Engage, Educate, Empower…
School District of Palm Beach County
Career-Ready College-Ready
“The basic premise is that the responsibility of K-12 educators is to prepare all students for both college and a career. This must be “both/and”, not “either/or”. Students need the same set of skills for both college and the workplace. Academic
skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, an ability to synthesize information, communication skills, and the ability to work well on a team”
-- Arne Duncan February 2, 2011

Harvard Graduate School of Education, Pathways to Prosperity: Meeting the Challenge of Preparing Young Americans for the 21st Century, 2011

Industry Certification Updates
• “The Lists”↓Comprehensive Industry Certification List– Industry Certification Funding List
• 2011-12 Industry Certification Funding List - http://www.fldoe.org/workforce/fcpea/pdf/1112icfl.pdf
• NEW – Each certification was weighted in 0.3 in the original legislation; now each certification will be weighted 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3.
Level of Exam Difficulty
• Many exams require a certain number of instructional hours as well as field experience (i.e. ASE, ProStart, National CDA, etc.)
• Some exams simply do not fit high school maturity levels (paper certification does not equate maturity level on the job)
