Southeast Comprehensive Center: Rapid Response Details |
| Title: | Career and Technical Education |
| Request: | Identify successful U.S. high schools that focus more on technical than traditional academic subjects. Indicate whether these schools require Carnegie Units, how credit is given for technical job-training classes, how technical courses are coded if Carnegie Units are awarded, and what types of terminal degrees are offered at these schools. |
| Summary: | In response to this request, the Southeast Comprehensive Center (SECC) reviewed information from a number of organizations including the American Diploma Project, American Youth Policy Forum, Association for Career and Technical Education, National High School Center, NGA Center for Best Practices, REL Southeast, Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), and the U.S. Department of Education. In addition, SECC used various Web search engines to locate information on the topic. The results are provided below. |
