comprehensive, structured
approach for delivering
academic and CTE to prepare
students for postsecondary
education and career success

8. Include academic and CTE
content in a coordinated, non-
duplicative progression of
courses
9. Offer the opportunity, where
appropriate, for secondary
students to acquire
postsecondary credits, and
10. Lead to an industry-recognized
credential or certificate at the
postsecondary level, or an
associate or baccalaureate
degree

19. LEGISLATION AND POLICIES
Federal, state, and local legislation or
administrative policies promote POS
development and implementation.
20. PARTNERSHIPS
Ongoing relationships among
education, business, and other
community stakeholders are central to
POS design, implementation, and
maintenance.
21. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Sustained, intensive, and focused
opportunities for administrators,
teachers, and faculty foster POS
design, implementation, and
maintenance.
22. ACCOUNTABILITY AND EVALUATION
SYSTEMS
Systems and strategies to gather
quantitative and qualitative data on
both POS components and student
outcomes are crucial for ongoing
efforts to development and
implement POS.
23. COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
STANDARDS
Content standards that define what
students are expected to know and be
able to do to enter and advance in
college and/or their careers comprise
the foundation of a POS.
24. COURSE SEQUENCES
Non-duplicative sequences of
secondary and postsecondary courses
within a POS ensure that students
transition to postsecondary education
without duplicating classes or
requiring remedial coursework.
(Individual Career Plan)
25. CREDIT TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
Credit transfer agreements provide
opportunities for secondary students
to be awarded transcripted
postsecondary credit, supported with
formal agreements among secondary
and postsecondary education systems.
(Cooperative Alliance Program)
26. GUIDANCE COUNSELING AND
ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
Guidance counseling and academic
advisement help students to make
informed decisions about which POS
to pursue.
27. TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES
Innovative and creative instructional
approaches enable teachers to
integrate academic and technical
instruction and students to apply
academic and technical learning in
their POS coursework.
28. TECHNICAL SKILLS ASSESSMENTS
National, state, and/or local assessments
provide ongoing information on the
extent to which students are attaining
the necessary knowledge and skills for
entry into and advancement in
postsecondary education and careers in
their chosen POS.

34. A-F Report Card
Is comprised of three (3) main sections each
worth one-third of the overall grade:
– Student Achievement - counts one-third or
33%
– Student Growth - counts one-third or 34%
• Overall student growth (math & reading) – 17%
• Bottom 25% student growth – 17%
– Whole School Performance - counts one-third
or 33%
3.75-4.0 = A

HS programs will provide data on which
students pass exams to ODCTE on Follow-up
Report. ODCTE will provide this data to SDE

• August 2012 Pinterest had 20
million monthly users
• Pinterest no longer requires an
invite – since August 2012
• Apps available
70. Lingo:
Board - a set of pins on any topic
Pin - add image from
website, picture, video to Pinterest
Repin - users can repin items they
see pinned by others to their boards
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgstyer/4661387399/
71. 4 ways educators use Pinterest:
1) Curate content: find and pin
images, projects, videos, stories and more for
future lesson plans
2) Organize ideas: create topic specific resource
boards for other counselors, teachers, and
students
3) Collaborate: connect with other
counselors, teachers, students from other
classes and schools
4) Involve students: use community boards for
group projects
