Pathways (NYS)
• What it means depends on who you are talking to:
Career Pathways (CTE, USDOE, USDOL, Perkins,
WOIA)
Multiple Pathways (Regents policy)
Program of Study (CTE, USDOE, Career Clusters)
Program Approval (SED- CTE)

Programs of Study
Integration of academic and technical education
Non-duplicative progression of secondary and postsecondary education
Dual and concurrent enrollment
Culmination in industry-recognized certification, licensure, or degree

Components of CTE Program Approval
• Course Selection– Program– CFM
• Credit – CTE– Integrated– Specialized
• Work-based Learning
• Employability Profile
• Technical Assessment– Written– Performance– Project
• Articulation Agreement

Defines the academic knowledge and skills students need to be successful in college and careers.
Specifies the non-cognitive, socio-emotional knowledge and skills that help students successfully transition from high school to college or careers.
Describes the career- specific opportunities for students to gain the knowledge, skills, and competencies they need to pursue and succeed in their chosen career.

Multiple Pathways
• BOR began with the end in mind
– Increased options for graduation
– Student achievement (graduation rate)
– Dropout rate (student engagement)
– More career-focused choices
– Post secondary education success

CTE Pathway
– an approved program is the major component of a CTE Pathway
– 14 technical assessments have been approved for use in the “4+1” Regents exam option (beginning with June 2015 candidates for graduation) More assessments being identified
– Current graduation requirements must still be met by students in CTE approved programs
– Current approved policy permits up to 8 integrated academic credits in approved CTE programs

Next Steps- CTE Pathway
• Determine student impact for June 2015
• Review current approved program requirements and suggested improvements
• Expanding list of technical assessments and maintaining accurate information
• Provide guidance and clarification

Next Steps- CTE Pathway
• Describing a CTE Pathway– Standards– Structure (K-Adult)– Best Practice– Collect the Data
• Pathway Models– School Reform – Blended Approach to Competing Models– CTE Subject Specific
![Page 20: Career Pathways and Programs of Study: A Federal Perspective Sharon Miller, Director Presentation at the NYS CTE TAC Annual Conference Holiday Inn, Albany,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e915503460f94b95f11/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Challenges
• Keeping the Focus on Pathways– New Regents, other priorities– New senior management at SED– Building awareness of student benefits
• Where we are and where we are going– Consistent message– Accurate, complete data on student achievement– Tying it all together (state and local)
