97 Advancing Education and Careers: Integrating Advanced Career Courses in District Pathways

Monday June 24, 2024 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT

In today's rapidly evolving job market, educational institutions must bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world skills. Our presentation focuses on integrating Advanced Career (AC) courses specifically designed to address this challenge. AC courses, developed by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), embed college-preparatory literacy, math, science, and problem-solving skills into real workplace scenarios. These courses go beyond traditional instruction methods, fostering teamwork, research, technological proficiency, and critical thinking. Notably, AC courses align seamlessly with district-designed pathways, catering to high-demand career clusters like Business, Energy, STEM, and more. We will showcase the effectiveness of AC courses in preparing students for both college and career success. Join us in revolutionizing education and empowering the workforce of tomorrow.
