CTE High-Quality Framework: Sequencing & Articulation --> Multiple Program Entry and Exit Points
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
This module landed on a blind spot in my own work --> I've built strong exit points and almost no entry points. The credentials allow a student to step out at multiple levels with something that holds value, and the module showed me the on-ramps deserve that same attention: the ways a student can enter a pathway at different levels, or earn credit for prior learning and training they already bring. Naming the stacking types -- progressive, supplemental, independent (we have been calling these primary, secondary, and tertiary)-- sharpened that further. I intend to apply it by building the entry side into the maps: on-ramps and prior-learning credit so a student can come in at the level that matches what they already know, and modularized coursework so they can move between work and school as they stack.
This upcoming school year - one of my many goals for my students is to help them find more ways to see all the exit paths they can take and feel confident in their choice once they leave the program/graduate from it
Creating a printed or online handout I can give to students with direct steps they can take towards reaching their pathway goal.
This content is geared toward post secondary program. At the hs level we encourage teachers to offer the recommended credentials multiple times per year if possible. This will position students to be able to earn stackable credentials by the end of the program.
