Program Alignment, Transition• Make sure that middle school program aligns to

high school CTAE Career Pathways– MS ACCT Communications aligns to Graphic Comm.

• Make sure middle school teachers ATTEND Local Advisory Council meetings w/ B&I, HS teachers– Will help students transition to Career Pathways– Will help market Career Pathways to MS students– Helps 6-12 grade teachers understand Industry needs– Creates stronger, aligned, robust, CTAE Programs

Middle School Curriculum

• Career Development– 6th: 32.02100 – Career Awareness– 7th: 32.02200 – Career Discovery– 8th: 32.02300 – Career Management

• To teach these 9 week courses, teachers should have one of following• CTAE certification or clear certificate• School counselor certification• Career Development Endorsement
