Reasons to Rethink the Purpose of High School
Career/Technical Studies
Over half of these students pursue postsecondary studies.
The new economy requires new skills.
The field needs a clear focus.
![Page 25: Southern Regional Education Board 1 Preparing Students for Success in High School.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55158d0455034691418b5914/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
The Purpose Should Be to Produce Graduates Who Can:
Read, understand and communicate in the language of a career field
Use mathematics skills, reasoning and understanding
Understand technical concepts, principles and procedures
Use basic technology
![Page 26: Southern Regional Education Board 1 Preparing Students for Success in High School.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55158d0455034691418b5914/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Improving Career/Technical Studies:
Increase access to challenging vocational and technical
studies, with a major emphasis on using high-level
mathematics, science, language arts and problem-
solving skills.
![Page 27: Southern Regional Education Board 1 Preparing Students for Success in High School.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55158d0455034691418b5914/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Vocational Practices andHigher Achievement
At least weekly, students: use mathematics to complete assignments; read and interpret technical books and
materials to complete assignments; spend one hour reading non-school-related
materials; and do math-related homework assigned by C/T
teacher.
![Page 28: Southern Regional Education Board 1 Preparing Students for Success in High School.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55158d0455034691418b5914/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Vocational Practices andHigher Achievement
At least monthly, students:read a career-related article and
demonstrate understanding;use computer skills to do assignments;
andhave challenging assignments.
![Page 29: Southern Regional Education Board 1 Preparing Students for Success in High School.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55158d0455034691418b5914/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Vocational Practices andHigher Achievement
Students: complete four or more credits in a planned
sequence; do projects that require research and written
plans; do a senior project; meet standards on a written exam to pass a
course; and spoke to, interviewed and visited a person in a
career-field to which they aspired.

What are shortcomingsof the present system for preparing and
certifying career/technical teachers?
Many career/technical teachers lack an adequate academic foundation.
Some teachers do not have breadth and depth of technical knowledge.
Most teachers are not prepared to integrate career/technical and academic content to advance achievement.

Improving High Schools:Require Students to Complete the HSTW-Recommended Curriculum
4 credits in college-preparatory/honors English
At least 3 mathematics credits -- Algebra I and
higher – including mathematics the senior year
3 credits in science, including 2 at the
college-prep level
4 credits in a planned sequence of career and
technical studies or an academic concentration

What Actions Can States Take?
Raise graduation requirements. Provide access to quality career/technical instruction. Assess performance in selected core academic courses
and make it count. Use end-of-program exams that count for assessing
student achievement in vocational courses. Develop state policies on guidance and advisement. Provide financial support for extra help. Develop a middle grades/high school transition policy. Provide technical assistance to low-performing
schools.
