CAREER CLUSTERS Technological advances and global competition have transformed the nature <strong>of</strong> work. Tomorrow’s jobs will requiremore knowledge, better skills, and highly flexible workers who continually update their knowledge and skills. The goalis to provide students with relevant context and for learning through pathways to college and career readiness.The Career Clusters framework provides a link between school-based learning and the knowledge and skillsrequired for success in the workplace. Each career cluster represents a distinct grouping <strong>of</strong> occupations andindustries based on the knowledge and skills they require. The career cluster and related career pathways provide animportant organizing tool to develop personal programs <strong>of</strong> study.Career cluster pathways are designed to provide a smooth transition from high school to postsecondary education(technical colleges, community colleges and universities), apprenticeship opportunities, the military, and/or theworkplace. Stakeholders from education, business and industry developed the courses that address the need forhigh skill, high wage, and high demand careers in the 21 st Century.APPROVED PATHWAY:1) Includes a minimum <strong>of</strong> three secondary-level credits.2) Includes a work-based element.3) Consists <strong>of</strong> a sequence: Introductory-level, Technical-level, and Application-level courses.4) Supporting documentation includes Articulation Agreement(s) and a <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> Study.CONCENTRATOR REQUIREMENT:Students successfully completing a minimum <strong>of</strong> three secondary level credits in a pathway (an introductory levelcourse, one or more technical level course(s), and an application level course), have completed the pathway and areeligible for recognition. Students who have successfully completed a pathway are concentrators and may be able totake industry assessments and earn certifications. Students who attend specific postsecondary institutions and havesuccessfully completed a pathway may be able to enroll in upper level courses at the postsecondary institutionswithout taking the introductory courses.Throughout high school, students are encouraged to explore areas <strong>of</strong> interest. Students may focus on a specificcareer pathway or explore multiple pathways. Students may also take electives that enrich their high schoolexperience even if those electives are not within their chosen career cluster and/or pathway. For instance, if astudent is planning on being an engineer and loves music and art, he or she may choose to participate in band andtake a graphic design class.LOCATION OF CLASSES:Students may enroll in any <strong>of</strong> the courses <strong>of</strong>fered at their home school. Students interested in enrolling in a pathwaycourse that is <strong>of</strong>fered at a school other than their home school should contact their school counselor to reviewoptions.2014 -15 <strong>Topeka</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> Page 9thswebmastersWednesday, March 5, 2014 2:30:27 PM Central Standard Time

GRADE CLASSIFICATION <strong>Topeka</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s’ grade advancement policy is based upon the current requirement that a student earn 24credits in order to graduate. A credit is earned for each subject carried successfully for a school year or theequivalent. The policy follows:Class <strong>of</strong> 2015 and beyondCredits for Graduation24 or moreSenior 17Junior 12Sophomore 6Students in the class <strong>of</strong> 2015 and beyond must have earned the following number <strong>of</strong> credits to be classified pergrade:• A senior must have earned twenty four (24) credits by the end <strong>of</strong> the second semester to participate in thegraduation ceremony.• A junior must have earned seventeen (17) credits to be considered a senior for the next school year.• A sophomore must have earned twelve (12) credits to be considered a junior for the next school year.• A freshman must have earned six (6) credits to be considered a sophomore for the next school year.Sometimes a second-year student will not have attained sophomore status, but is eligible for sophomore-levelcourses. Hence, courses are designated by year or level rather than by class status to avoid confusion abouteligibility. Likewise, a third-year student who does not have enough credits to be considered a junior may enroll injunior-level courses, and a fourth-year student who does not have enough credits to be considered a senior mayenroll in senior-level courses.2014 -2015 <strong>Topeka</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> Page 41thswebmastersWednesday, March 5, 2014 2:30:28 PM Central Standard Time

Advancement Via Individual DeterminationThe AVID StudentAVID targets students in the academic middle - B, C, and even D students - who have the desire to go to collegeand the willingness to work hard. These are students who are capable <strong>of</strong> completing rigorous curriculum but arefalling short <strong>of</strong> their potential. Typically, they will be the first in their families to attend college, and many are fromlow-income or minority families. AVID pulls these students out <strong>of</strong> their unchallenging courses and puts them on thecollege track: acceleration instead <strong>of</strong> remediation.The AVID ElectiveNot only are students enrolled in their school's toughest classes, such as honors and Advanced Placement®, butalso in the AVID elective. For one period a day, they learn organizational and study skills, work on critical thinkingand asking probing questions, get academic help from peers and college tutors, and participate in enrichment andmotivational activities that make college seem attainable. Their self-images improve, and they become academicallysuccessful leaders and role models for other students.The AVID CurriculumThe AVID curriculum, based on rigorous standards, was developed by middle and senior high school teachers incollaboration with college pr<strong>of</strong>essors. It is driven by the WICOR method, which stands for writing, inquiry,collaboration, and reading. AVID curriculum is used in AVID elective classes, in content-area classes in AVIDschools, and even in schools where the AVID elective is not <strong>of</strong>fered.ResultsState-funded, independent research, together with AVID's own data, validate that the AVID college-readinesssystem works. Consider: AVID students are more likely to take AP classes, complete their college eligibilityrequirements, and get into four-year colleges than students who don't take AVID. Almost all AVID students whoparticipate for at least three years are accepted to college, with roughly three quarters getting into four-yearuniversities. AVID also helps ensure students, once accepted to college, possess the higher-level skills they needfor college success.http://www.avid.org/intro.html#curriculum2014 -2015 <strong>Topeka</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Studies</strong> Page 57thswebmastersWednesday, March 5, 2014 2:30:28 PM Central Standard Time
