- Missouri’s Seven Core Concepts for Career Clusters
|
INTRODUCTION Technological advances and global competition have transformed the nature of work. Tomorrow’s jobs will require more knowledge, better skills and more flexibility than ever before. Tomorrow’s workers must be prepared to change jobs and careers several times, while continually updating their knowledge and skills. 
Career Clusters provide a common framework for career preparation by linking what students learn in school with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed for success in postsecondary education and careers. When used to develop a student’s Personal Plan of Study, the Career Clusters Framework provides students with a strong foundation for postsecondary education and future employment. The Education and Training Competency Packet is to be used only with a Department of Elementary and Secondary Education approved Career Pathways for the Teaching Profession program. An approved program includes a sequence of three credits and in-service for the teacher. For more information contact the Family Consumer Sciences and Human Services Section, Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education at 573-751-2644. Missouri’s Seven Core Concepts for Career Clusters Learning should be student-centered. Instruction should integrate academic education, career development and career education. Connections should be enhanced among secondary education, postsecondary education, business and economic development. Rigorous and relevant academics are needed by all students, whatever their educational and career plans. Secondary schools’ instruction should prioritize foundational knowledge and skills for career preparation above job preparation. Industry-verified standards should serve as a benchmark for career education. School reform is needed to prepare students for success in the 21st century workforce. Source: Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) Career Pathways for the Teaching Profession, within the Education and Training career cluster, provides students opportunities to focus on future employment as educators, consultants, child care center directors, or child life specialists.
