    Career & Technical Education (CTE) program description: Pathways

    Career Pathways are the heart of Career & Technical Education.  A career pathway is a structured sequence of courses that lead to an industry credential, post-secondary employment or further training and development. The purpose of a career pathway is to guide students through a continuum of courses leading to the development of advanced technical skills. 

    For more information on CTE in NC, and to learn about Career Clusters, Pathways, and Course Information, Standards, and applicable Credentials please visit: Course Management System.


    Early Colleges: The aim of the Early College model is to graduate students who earn a high school diploma as well as two years of transferable college credit or an associate degree all at no cost to their families. The target population for early colleges is first generation college-goers, those seeking a challenging, more rigorous curriculum, or other historically underserved populations.

    The Innovative Education Initiatives Act (SL 2003-277, Senate Bill 656) and the Cooperative Innovative High School Programs statute (§ 115C-238.50-.55) encourage Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to partner with their local postsecondary Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) to provide cooperative programs jointly in high schools and colleges/universities that will expand students’ opportunities for education success through high quality instructional programming. NC Cooperative Innovative High Schools


    Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted (AIG): In NC, school districts must identify and serve academically or intellectually gifted (AIG) K-12 students. These are students who are performing, or have the potential of performing, at high levels of accomplishment in intellectual and/or specific academic areas, such as reading and/or math when compared with other students of their age, or in their grade level, experience, or environment. 

    The Cabarrus County Schools  Local AIG Plan outlines specific opportunities for differentiated, rigorous instruction and accelerated programs. You can find the plan at Cabarrus County Schools Gifted Education Department Page.

    CCS has developed an (AIG program brochure/ AIG Parent Handbook or AIG newsletter) to help parents better understand the AIG program.  This describes how students will be identified and served across grades K-12.  Coming Soon: AIG Brochure/Handbook for parent information.  


    In Cabarrus County, students are often provided the following services:

    • Differentiated curriculum and instruction with flexible student groups;
    • Accelerated opportunities (subject and/or grade acceleration, credit by demonstrated mastery (CDM), AP/IB/CIE courses, dual enrollment courses)
    • Enrichment experiences, which may be during the school day or beyond, and may be within the regular calendar year or may include summer opportunities; and 
    • Other opportunities for extension of content standard.


    Services for AIG students may be provided by AIG personnel or within the regular classroom by teachers trained to meet the needs of gifted students.  (*Share other service delivery personnel as needed).

    Contact the district/school AIG Specialist with questions (Geneieve Fast, geneieve.fast@cabarrus.k12.nc.us).


    Honors Level Courses: Cabarrus County students have access to a variety of honors level courses in high school.  These courses are available in the course catalog located at 2024 Curriculum Course Guide.

    Honors level courses typically have a faster pace than standard level courses.  They offer additional rigor, complexity and creativity than standard level courses.  


    Career and College Promise (CCP): Cabarrus County partners with Rowan Cabarrus Community College to offer dual enrollment opportunities through the CCP program. If your high school student qualifies, students may earn high school and college credit.

    CCP courses may be taken in the College Transfer or Career and Technical Education pathway. These courses count for both high school and college credit. Tuition is free for families. To learn more about this program, contact your child’s high school counselor or principal. Additional information is available on the RCCC CCP website.

     

    Advanced Placement (AP) Courses: The Advanced Placement (AP) Program, through College Board, offers students the opportunity to engage in rigorous college-level course work in a high school setting. AP courses are designed for highly motivated and prepared students who seek academic rigor and college credit based on the yearly Advanced Placement Exams.  Cabarrus County Schools believes that all students deserve access to the rigor of advanced coursework and can be successful with the appropriate support. Tests are administered by the high school on behalf of the College Board.  AP courses support students in cultivating important skills and habits that are essential for college and career readiness. Additionally, students may receive higher consideration for admission to colleges and universities, as well as possible college or university course credit and/or placement.  All AP classes follow the recommended syllabi from the College Board.  Students are expected to complete extra reading, writing, and project assignments outside of the classroom.   CCS offers numerous AP courses throughout the district in the areas of Arts Education, World Languages, English Language Arts, Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, and others. Specific course offerings vary from school to school. 

    Students should consider this when thinking about taking advanced courses:

    • Ability – How do you work independently?
    • Study Habits – How diligently are you willing to work to be successful?
    • Work Ethic – How will you manage the increased homework (1-2 hours per night per AP Course)?
    • Interest– How interested are you in the curriculum? 
    • Extra-Curricular Commitments – How busy are you outside of school?
    • Post-Secondary Goals – How do you plan on meeting your after high school goals? If a four-year university is a consideration, you may be more qualified if you take AP courses. 


    Several AP courses satisfy graduation requirements for NC students as outlined in State Board policy

    AP exams are free for NC public high school students enrolled in these courses. If a student registers for an exam late, there will be a fee. 

    Colleges and universities may likely offer college credit for these courses if your child scores a 3 or above on the exam. All of the colleges in the UNC System award college credit. More information is available on the CollegeBoard website.

     

    AP Capstone is an innovative diploma program from the College Board that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. It is available in a few of our high schools. AP Capstone is built on the foundation of AP Seminar and AP Research and is designed to complement and enhance the in-depth, discipline-specific study experienced in other AP courses.

    Rather than teaching subject-specific content, these courses develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting. Students who complete the two-year program can earn one of two different AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges across the United States and around the world.

         O   Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four
               additional AP Exams
    of their choosing receive the AP Capstone Diploma™.
