  1. Students prepare for postsecondary education and careers;
  2. Integration of academic skills with authentic and demanding career and technical curriculum;
  3. Broad career themes engage students regardless of prior achievement and/or postsecondary goals;
  4. Career pathways curriculum is designed to produce high levels of student achievement in measurable ways: academic and technical scores, creative thinking innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, high school completion, postsecondary transitions to career and education, and attainment of a formal postsecondary credential.
