Most of my work sits in vertical alignment: making sure each course builds on the last so students keep stacking skills instead of repeating them.
What shifted for me in this module was seeing two gaps more clearly (1) I underuse university partners in the high-school-to-college handoff, and (2) I’ve treated alignment mostly as a college-readiness issue when many of my students go straight into trades.
The result is a sharper sense that the core of my sequence is solid inside my own programs, and the real leakage happens at system transitions; which is where I need to focus next.
Making sure to stay on vertical alignment with other CTE and academic programs within your school and not repeat in your curriculum
There is a teacher benefit to vertical alignment. I never thought about it from that persepctive.
The program of study is non duplicative and vertically aligned. This benefit both students and teachers.
