Co-designed with state leaders, postsecondary educators,
employers and master teachers to meet workforce demand in
high-tech STEM fields, SREB’s Advanced Career
curricula help students master readiness standards and
cultivate the critical thinking, problem-solving, communication
and applied academic skills employers value.
Nine Advanced Career Pathways
Each of AC’s turnkey four-course pathways offers everything
schools needs to be sure they work, from fully developed lesson
plans, projects, assessments, tools and technology to extensive
training and support for teachers.
- Aerospace Engineering
- Automated Materials Joining Technology
- Clean Energy Technology
- Energy and Power
- Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management
- Health Informatics
- Informatics
- Innovations in Science and Technology
- Integrated Production Technologies
All AC courses are taught in the context of a college-ready
academic core. The last two courses in each pathway can be
offered for dual credit in partnership with a two- or four-year
postsecondary institution. AC students can also earn high-demand
industry certifications that help them secure employment right
after high school.
AC flips the switch for students who aren’t sparked by
traditional teaching.
Customizable Design and Delivery
All AC teachers attend a Summer
Teacher Training Institute for each course they teach. At the
STTI, teachers use AC technology tools to complete student
projects and assignments. This builds teachers’ confidence
delivering AC’s student-centered, project-based approach to learning.
Follow-up professional development, coaching and technical
assistance services help AC teachers and schools strengthen their
implementation of the AC curriculum and build schedules that
support student cohorts and interdisciplinary teacher planning.
SREB also works with high schools, technology centers or
community and technical colleges to deliver AC pathways in
stand-alone or wall-to-wall career academies.
A dedicated help desk answers teachers’ questions about AC
projects or technology tools and supports school leaders with all
aspects of AC implementation.
