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.
