What is
AchieveTexas?
Welcome to AchieveTexas
which is a new education initiative designed to prepare all students for
a lifetime of success. It allows ALL students to achieve excellence by
preparing them for secondary and postsecondary opportunities, career
preparation and advancement, meaningful work, and active citizenship.
AchieveTexas
is a system designed to help students (and their parents) make wise
education choices. It is based on the belief that the curricula of the
21st century should combine rigorous academics with relevant
career education. When schools integrate academic and technical
education, students can see the “usefulness” of what they are learning.
The system also facilitates a seamless transition from secondary to
postsecondary opportunities.
This initiative uses the
sixteen federally defined Career Clusters of the States’ Career Clusters
initiative (www.careerclusters.org)
as the foundation for restructuring how schools arrange their
instructional programs. A Career Cluster is a grouping of occupations
and broad industries based on commonalities. The sixteen Career Clusters
provide an organizing tool for schools, small learning communities,
academies, and magnet schools. Programs of Study (POS) have been
developed for each of the Career Clusters. The POS represent a
recommended sequence of coursework based on a student’s interest or
career goal.
