Understanding and Implementing Programs of Study
Hyslop, Alisha
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J1), v87 n1 p16-19 Jan 2012
Since Programs of Study (POS) were introduced in 2006, implementation has been uneven around the country. POS were one of the landmark features of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins Act), and have been one of the biggest areas of focus during its implementation. In 2009, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) launched an effort to further expand on the requirements included in the Perkins Act, and clarify the elements of a high-quality POS. This article looks at the U.S. Department of Education's OVAE's POS Framework, and highlights how POS is being implemented in six states as part of the OVAE's rigorous POS grant project.
