Career & Technical Education
-
Career academies are small, personalized learning communities within a high school that select a subset of students and teachers for a two-, three-, or four-year span. Students enter the academy through a voluntary process; they must apply and be accepted with parental knowledge and support.
A career academy includes the following essential elements:
- A small learning community
- A college-prep curriculum with a career theme
- Partnerships with employers, the community, and higher education
By design, these three central elements of a career academy lead to a school that is rigorous, relevant, and relational. As such, career academies are an excellent example of a reform model for Florida's policymakers and practitioners to consider.
