Pathways
At Region 10, a "pathway" is defined as a meta-program of study that systematically organizes a series of interconnected programs of study. These pathways are industry-driven and aligned with the hyper-regionalized workforce market, ensuring that the skills and knowledge students gain are directly relevant to local and emerging job opportunities. By integrating both academic and technical components, pathways prepare students comprehensively for post-secondary education and career readiness. This approach ensures a seamless progression from foundational skills to advanced application, equipping students with the tools needed to succeed in the workforce and contribute to the regional economy.
The Pathways Implementation Blueprints
The Region 10 Pathway Implementation Blueprint is designed to provide LEAs (Local Education Agencies) with a structured framework to develop and implement strong, industry-aligned pathways. Its primary purpose is to help schools build robust programs in each of the blueprint's key areas, ensuring that students are equipped with the skills needed for post-secondary success.
The blueprint offers a comprehensive overview of each pathway, outlining the essential skills identified by industry partners using endurance, leverage, and readiness as their guide to identify what students will need to master. These skills are accompanied by specific rubrics that guide teachers and districts in assessing student progress throughout the development of these essential skills. This approach ensures that educators have a clear understanding of the student profile as they move through each stage of skill acquisition.
Additionally, the blueprint provides up-to-date labor market data, helping districts align their programs of study with local and regional workforce demands. The data helps parents understand the post-secondary possibilities for their students, and students get a picture of what is required after high school. It also integrates ideas for embedding Work-Based Learning (WBL) opportunities at every level of the WBL continuum, offering students hands-on experiences that enhance their readiness for the workforce.
To further support students, the blueprint includes effective advising tools such as the College Prep Checklist and the Career Prep Checklist, which help students begin to create their plans for life after high school. These resources ensure that students are prepared for both higher education and immediate career opportunities, making the Pathway Implementation Blueprint a crucial tool for guiding student success beyond graduation.
Immersive Media
A Blueprint For Implementation
Students dive deep into the intricacies of visual design, mastering 2D and 3D modeling while honing their skills in user experience (UX) design and motion graphics. collaboration and communication take center stage as students engage in purposeful dialogue and learn to navigate the dynamic landscape of project management. Through hands-on experience in software development, they delve into the world of coding, refining their craft to create seamless digital experiences across various platforms. Additionally, students explore research and marketing plans. With a focus on critical thinking and problem-solving, students emerge equipped to pioneer innovation and shape the future of immersive storytelling.
