Definition and Purpose of this Pathway Handbook
A Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathway is a sequence of two or more CTE courses
within a student’s area of career interest. Pathways are designed to connect high school
classes to college, industry certifications, and/or a career.
This book is to assist students in choosing courses for their Individual Plan of Study (IPS).
The IPS is a plan to help students choose a path to graduation that is individualized by
student. This is a four-year plan for high school that is driven by the data from the Career
Cruising career interest surveys.
The handbook includes a description of all of our CTE pathways and the courses in the
pathway taught at IHS. Following this section are the SUGGESTED courses for each
pathway. Teachers, administrators, and counselor have worked on these course
recommendations and we strongly encourage students to follow the suggestions in each
pathway.
Beginning the 2018-19 school year, ALL students are required to be in ONE CTE course
per year. Students can take more CTE courses, but ONE is required.
Kansas CTE Terminology
KANSAS CAREER FIELD(S): Occupations that are organized around broad, common
knowledge and skills. They are recognized as Media & Technology; Business; Agriculture;
Design, Production, & Repair; Health; Public Services; and Family & Consumer Sciences.
KANSAS CAREER PATHWAY(S): Organized groupings of rigorous academic and career
related courses leading from education to employment, that identify each step, skill,
educational requirement and aptitude needed to be successful within any specific career.
Currently there are 35 state-approved pathways identified within the 16 clusters.
KANSAS CTE SCHOLAR: A Kansas initiative to recognize well-rounded, outstanding career
and technical education (CTE) students finishing their senior year of high school. To be a
CTE scholar a student must complete courses in the same pathway all four years of high
school.

Project Management
This course is an application level course in SEVEN of Iola High School’s pathways.
This course uses projects as the learning method, and using projects to learn builds the skills students need for
success in learning, work and civic life in the 21st century. It consists of the application of proven project
management principles and practices to educational practice based upon the knowledge and expertise
accumulated by the Project Management Institute Educational Foundation.
The essential skills this course teachers include the following: Recognize different resource types (Work, Material, Cost, Budget,
Personnel/Skills, Generic, etc)
Understand the concept of scope and demonstrate in context of
assessing the size of a project
Develop plans for project management and resource scheduling
Identify key personnel and responsibilities for project
Develop SWOT analysis
Analyze workload of tasks and projects
Determine required personnel groups and management hierarchy
Determine resources necessary for project completion
Determine essential tasks necessary for project completion
Design potential timelines for assignments
Explore appropriate technologies for project management and resource
scheduling
Create and present a project management and resource scheduling plan
Create Gantt charts
Evaluate and assign resources to tasks
Implement project management skills to design and complete a collaborative project
Learn various survey strategies to track project progress
Develop strategies for monitoring interconnected assignments
Survey strategies for critical path scheduling
Create strategies to manage project budgets
Build survey analysis for customer satisfaction
In order to learn these skills, students will take part in specific projects. These projects are largely self-directed and
independent, but elements of each type of project will be incorporated into other forms of course work.
Examples of these projects include, but are not limited to, the following (using the scope of the blended English III
class): Independent Reading Projects
Literary Analysis
Argumentative Writing
Research Project
Special Topics in Literature
Portfolio of Work
