TECH PREP
Tech Prep education is a planned
sequence of study in a technical field beginning as early as the 9th
grade. The sequence extends through at least two years of
postsecondary education or an apprenticeship program of at lest two
years following high school graduation. Tech Prep is an important
school-to-work transition strategy.
Students are advised on a plan that
is referred as the 4+2 Plan and the 4+2+2 Plan. These designs
include an articulation agreement between secondary and
postsecondary that includes a common core of proficiency in math,
science, communication, and technology. The Tech Prep outcomes
include 4 years of high school, an associate degree (2 years of
postsecondary community college), and transfer to a 4 year
baccalaureate program for the final 2 years. |
