The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) recognizes 28 KCS students who participated in the Advanced Career curriculum in four different areas and scored at the proficient or advanced levels of the national exam. Advanced Career is a rigorous sequence of career-technical courses developed with the advice of national industry partners with the goals of providing:
- technical knowledge and skills to earn a living wage;
- academic and technical skills that prepare for college without the need for expensive and time-consuming remedial courses;
- a behind-the-scenes look at the industry through field experiences; and
- a chance to work with an industry mentor.
Advanced Career teachers participate in rigorous training to learn modern technical skills and the use of non-traditional and student-centered methods to help students:
- develop creativity;
- use problem-solving skills;
- experience working with a peer team; interact with industry professionals; and
- speak to audiences including industry professionals.
