Knak Pathways

All CTE pathways support the Common Core and CTE Model Curriculum Standards (MCS). Learning rigorous academic skills, especially in English Language Arts and Mathematics is an integral part of each CTE course outline and competencies. These skills help our students put English Language Arts and Mathematics to work in a real-world, hands-on environment they can relate to. The CTE MCS is designed to assist school districts in developing high-quality curriculum and instruction to prepare students for future careers. The MCS was created with assistance from more than 300 representatives from business, industry, postsecondary and secondary education and reviewed by nearly 1000 members of the general public. These standards are rigorous, evidence-based, relevant and reasonable in scope.
