1. The Clusters And their Pathways
David Agnew ASU-Jonesboro

2. Objectives Name the 16 clusters.
Match career pathways to the correct cluster name.

3. Cluster Facts: Old and New
Clusters are a means of organizing or categorizing all job or occupations.
Developed by the U.S. Office of Education
Until year 2000 there were 15 clusters.
In 2000 the USOE put forth a new system which was 16 clusters.
This was more than just adding another number it was a reorganization and redistribution of jobs or occupations into new clusters.

7. Cluster Components: Old and New…
In the old 15 cluster system there were divisions called job families. These were subcategories under the cluster titles.
NEW 16 cluster system these are called job pathways instead of families
Example job pathways for the Finance Cluster with new system:
Banking and Finance
Financial Planning
Insurance Services

8. Pneumonic
For many years a good, easy Pneumonic was used by teachers in AR for the old 15cluster system.
When the new 16 cluster system came along in 2001, my summer co class developed a couple of their own Pneumonics as a class assignment. I have 2 I will share.
The first was presented at CO Conference in Summer 2001 by Allie Brooks, then student and later the CO teacher at Brookland.
The second was developed by 2 ag guys and a coach at the DeQueen site.
The next slide is the start of the official presentation given at the co conference by the State Committee to introduce the new 16 system to CO. It is very good and can also be found on the ArCOTA Website.

50. LET THE PARTY BEGIN! ! !

51. Created by: William King Gosnell High School May, 2001

52. Should your students know the clusters?
Two points of views…..Yes and No
Yes --- The purpose of CO is to give students an overview of the world of work. The 12,000 or so jobs need to be arranged in some logical order so that students can research and study careers in a logical manner. But the knowledge that there are 16 clusters may be more important than naming them all.
No --- Knowing the cluster is not that important. This is really useless knowledge that waste the student time to learn.

53. How can I teach them the clusters?
Simple memorize
Have them work on this on their own and then give rewards for those who learn first
Have then either recite in class or have them write on paper.
Use some classroom group recitation activities.
Game(s)
Circle of chairs each person states one and then next person says previous one and one more….
Write on board and erase a little as you all repeat them out loud
Pneumonic(s) A system to help lead lists by using first letter of word(s).

The next two are systems developed in class.
You can develop you own as well.
Some people prefer to think in terms of there are three “A”s or “M”s and then remember all of the “A”s, etc..

63. Career Pathways The 16 clusters are divided into pathways.
A cluster will have from 2 to 7 pathways.
The next slide has all 16 clusters and their pathways. Review each cluster and pathway and realize there is some overlap in terms.
Ex. Marketing is a cluster but under Business Management and Administration there is also a Marketing pathway.
