Education
Transforming Lives and Enriching Futures Through Lifelong Learning: The Education Career Cluster spans careers aimed at fostering learning from early childhood to adulthood, including teaching, instructional design, counseling services, community engagement, learner support, and educator training. This Cluster emphasizes quality education standards and lifelong learning, preparing individuals for success through all life stages by nurturing knowledge, skills, and critical thinking and encouraging personal and societal growth in a constantly evolving world.
Pathway Design Sheets
Pathway Design Sheets are Kansas CTE guides that act like blueprints, showing the required and optional courses, the skills students must learn, and the order in which classes should be taken to meet state pathway standards. They also include industry‑aligned competencies, CIP codes, and program requirements that help schools design and maintain approved pathways, ensure curriculum matches Kansas expectations, and support compliance with Perkins funding and improvement planning.
