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.

Teacher Resources

Facility Guidelines: Trade and Industry classrooms and labs must be safe, clean, and large enough for hands‑on work. Kansas requires at least 15 square feet of usable space per student, and class sizes should stay small—usually no more than 18 students—to keep activities safe. These spaces also need proper utilities, storage, and access for all learners.
