14. What is Career and Technology Studies?  CTS is a strategy developed by the Prairie Rose S.D.  Enables students to access Senior Years Technology Education options. (not a vocational school but opportunities)  CTS aligns learning opportunities in school and community settings that result in highly individualized, flexible programming.  Optional courses from Technology Education (Electronics, Building Systems, Home Economics, and Business/ Computer Studies) are combined with community- based “Career Internship”, and Career Path Management activity from across the curriculum to create 'programs'.

16. Technology Education  Integrating technology into classrooms - GPS/GIS - Soil and Water kits - Precision Ag Biotechnology - Agro-ecology - Robotics (Lego Mindstorms) - Wind Turbines  Summer Camps – RRC - Animation Club - Girls in Gaming - Envirothon

17. Career Internship  Community-based options and credits  Subject specific mentorship  Senior Years Apprenticeship Option

18. Career Development or Career Path Management  Exploration  Planning for the future  Learning about the world of work  Portfolio building  Post-secondary connections  Articulation agreements  Memo of understanding
