HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC PLAN PROGRAM OF STUDY (PATHWAY) AND THE

Agenda 1) What is a career pathway? 2)Where does the student locate information about pathways and academic required courses? 3) Why do we investigate career pathways and the academic plan? 4) How are you going to use this information in your next few years of high school?

Rationale for Pathway A pathway is a method of searching for a career that fits your interests and lifestyle and then allows you to build academic courses around it. The pathway recommends individual high school courses – both academic and career-related – to concentrate on which are specifically geared toward the career you’ve chosen. James Campbell High School has established pathway smaller learning communities (SLC) that offer programs of study (POS). POS are recommended sequences of courses to be taken in preparation for careers in specific areas. SLCs will give students the opportunity to meet and work with other students who share the same interests, acquire work-based learning experiences, and receive college and career guidance.
