I. II. Career Connection Academy Executive Summary

Since 1994, Volusia County Schools have nurtured thriving career academies. The evolution of the career academy model as a part of high school redesign, continues to adapt to meet the needs of the 21st Century student here in Volusia County. With a total of 34 career academies active for 2014-15 school year, the success of the academy model is directly linked to the outstanding teachers, directors, business members, school based administrators, district staff, parents and students who have a stake in the rigorous career based curriculum. Graduating students who have both career experience and high level academic preparation, is the ultimate goal of career academies. The reality of a world with high stakes testing and increasingly high standards for employment required that Volusia build in the highest standards of quality within their academies. Since 2005, Volusia has utilized 12 Standards for Career Academies as a means to evaluate each academy on a yearly basis. Academies must meet minimum standards to retain their gold, silver, or bronze academy status. Integrated curriculum, pure schedule, and common planning are the three key components that separate an academy from any other CTE program. The additional standards further clarify a structure for what an academy should look like. This level of standardization has helped to serve as a benchmark for academies and a way to achieve the goal of measureable outcomes related to academy success.

The following pages will outline the plan for achieving the 12 Academy Standards for SY 2015- 16. As much specific detail and follow-up information is contained in this document that should be shared with school based administration, Career & Technical Education Department district personnel, and academy Advisory Committee business partners to ensure the success of the academy and it’s students. The plan begins with the academy’s Mission Statement which outlines the goal and purpose of this academy and continues on through each of the standards. Each standard is defined and text boxes are given for the academy team to describe their approach to enacting each standard, and tables where appropriate to give more specific detail for their plan. Standards that need additional collaboration with school based administration such as Assistant Principals for Curriculum, Data and Scheduling, Guidance Counselors, and Data Processing Clerks are delineated. Standards that need guidance and participation from Academy Advisory Business Partners are also noted.
