The Career Pathway Model:
4
Defining CTE in Delaware:• Build a state-led model for Career and Technical Education
(CTE) that prepares every student for career success and continuing education
• Prepare all students for a full range of post-secondary education from credentialing to early college credit
• Build pathways and programs of study at the state level in partnership with relevant stakeholders
• Connect academic and career success measures for all students
• Leverage fiscal reform to build state-led CTE programs and support local school system adoption
Career & College Readiness
5
Defining CTE in Delaware:• Partner with post-secondary, workforce, and business and
industry leaders to ensure that local education agencies can implement rigorous programs of study
• Adopt strategies that pair academics with technical studies and work-based learning experiences to create opportunities for every student to demonstrate success
• Align curriculum and assessment practices with the expectations of post-secondary and business partners
• Provide targeted and on-going professional development to teachers, school counselors, and school system leaders
Professional Learning
6
Information Technology, Computer ScienceExploring Computer Science (ECS)Students are introduced to computers and algorithmic problem-solving including the exploration and examination of instances, design, coding, testing, and verification. Students design and develop programs, manage and interpret data, and work in groups to build and program a robot.
AP Computer Science Principles (CSP)Students work individually and in small groups to explore algorithms and the need for a structured approach to problem solving. Students write programs in Javascript, build web applications, and gain an understanding of the nature and structure of complex data sets.
AP Computer Science A (CSA)Students explore problem solving, design strategies and
methodologies, organization of data (data structures), approaches to processing data (algorithms), analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing.
