Green-Focused Programs of Study: Five States Present Their Work at the 2010 Career Clusters InstituteThe NRCCTE's Technical
Assistance Academy is supporting states in developing green-focused
programs of study (POS). The Academy process is a
strategy for building replicable implementation models to bring POS
to scale. Five states have been participating in the process-- Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, and Oregon-- and recently presented their work at the 2010 Career Clusters Institute in a special green strand of sessions. The overview session, led by NRCCTE Director Jim Stone and Ivan Charner, explored the implications of the
emerging green labor market for the delivery of CTE and the larger role that POS play in the NRCCTE's research
agenda. Read more about these and related green-focused POS sessions and download the states' presentations. New Video on Programs of Study at
Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College
What do Programs of Study look like from a community college perspective, and what are the unique challenges of postsecondary institutions serving diverse student and community needs in difficult economic times? The NRCCTE visited Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College (OCtech) in Orangeburg, SC, and talked to administrators and faculty about how OCtech's POS meet South Carolina Education and Economic Development Act (see the NRCCTE's related research study) and Perkins IV mandates and provide rigorous academic and technical learning opportunities to secondary and postsecondary students throughout the region. Read more about OCtech and watch the video here.
