NWABSD Career Pathway Electives Elective courses are an important addition to the student’s day because they offer choice outside of the required core curriculum. Here in the NWABSD, electives are classified into four groups to allow for better alignment to each student’s Personal Learning and Career Plan (PLCP)
LIFE SKILLS AND GENERAL ELECTIVE COURSES: These courses are more
exploratory in nature and are designed to allow the student to
Yind their interests
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION ELECTIVE COURES
These courses may align to career pathways, but are not supported through Carl Perkins
CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE)
COURSES: These courses align to career pathways and are approved by and supported through the Federal Carl Perkins Grant
STAR OF THE NORTHWEST
MAGNET SCHOOL These CTE courses articulate into the career pathways for the magnet school and may be eligible for tech-‐prep credit
through UAF

NWABSD has chosen to use the “The National Career Clusters™ Framework” for organizing and delivering a quality CTE program through Programs of Study (POS) aligned to regional workforce needs and career pathways within the seven chosen Career Clusters identified in the table. A program of study (POS) is a comprehensive, structured approach for delivering academic and career and technical education to prepare students for postsecondary education and career success. (Source: U.S. Department of Education) Through the use of their Personal Learning and Career Plan (PLCP) for grades 6-‐12, students in the NWABSD have the opportunity to focus on one of seven career pathways giving them a head start on their future and leading the way in preparing our students to be successful by connecting career pathways to education
