1 Atlanta College and Career Academy Frequently Asked Questions DRAFT 1. General Questions 1.1. What is a College and Career Academy? Modern approach to technical and vocational education as well as a national trend in career technical and agriculture education Evidence-based method for education reform and workforce development Over 5,000 College and Career Academies in operation nationally serving more than a million students including 33 amount in GA College and Career Academies effectively provide career pathways to prepare high school students for both college and careers by combining academic and occupational courses College and Career Academies consist of several common elements: o Collaboration among teachers from a variety of industries o A career-themed, college-preparatory curriculum o Provides work-based learning opportunities o Dedicated partnerships with employers, the community, and higher education institutions o Increased opportunities for parental involvement and support o Students earn college credit in high school classes 1.2. Why did Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) partner with Atlanta Public Schools (APS), Fulton, Atlanta Technical College (ATC) and the Atlanta Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce creating a College and Career Academy? CCPS wants every student to have choice-filled lives. We want every student to have the academic and technical skills required for high-demand, high-skill, and high-wage careers. The theme schools instructional focus is in direct alignment with the job projection data for Georgia and beyond. The theme schools early college curriculum plan seeks to produce Computer Scientists, Programmers, Gamers, Information System Engineers, Architectural Engineers, Pharmacists, First Responders, Health Informatics Specialists, and Diagnostic Technicians, etc. More importantly, Career Academies have a strong track record of improved attendance, credits, grades, and graduation rates among participants Independent research shows that a College and Career Academy: Increase academic performance and achievement o More likely to complete required credits for high school graduation o More likely to attend a 4-year college and complete a bachelor s degree Double the rate at which high-risk students completed core academic curriculum Increase post-high school employment rates and raised wage earnings 8 years after expected high school graduation, especially among young men, without decreasing chances of going to college To respond to community interest in career and technical education 1.3. How is the College and Career Academy different from a traditional high school? Revised and Last Printed: 1/29/2016 Frequently Asked Questions Page 1 of 5
2 College and Career Academies complement existing high school instructional programs by providing additional access to college and career readiness resources for CCPS high school students across the entire district College and Career Academies provide a choice for students to succeed in a non-traditional environment The College and Career Academy will afford students an opportunity to enroll in advanced academic courses and pathways, which are not an option at their zoned high school. College and Career Academies focuses on technical education, which leads to industry recognizable credentials. o Students will have the opportunity to finish with marketable credentials that leads to employment in high demand, high skill and high wage careers. o Students can earn up to two years of general education credits that are transferrable at various four-year college institutions by pursuing a Technical Specialist Certificate. o Districts can customize instructional paths for student cohort matriculation in high school Theme Schools/programs to include pathway completion of World Languages, IB Career-Related Programmer, Fine Arts, CTAE and/or Advanced Academics. o FTE is not impacted, high school rosters reflect student enrollment and the student s grade based on academy achievement. High schools can still pursue STEM certification when students attend ACCA. o In the specialized instructional design, there must be a component built-in in which Math and Science teachers collaborate on interdisciplinary investigative projects. On-site, off-site, Skype, online and/or teleconference. All courses at the College and Career Academy will be held on site at Atlanta Technical College, given the nature and structure of the program. The College and Career Academy is not an alternative education setting for CCPS students.

Research says: In Tennessee, Career, Technology Education (CTE) returns $2 for every $1 invested. At the secondary level, CTE program completers account for more than $13 million in annual tax revenues. Middle-skill jobs, jobs that require education and training beyond high school but less than a bachelor's degree, are a significant part of the economy. Of the 55 million job openings created by 2020, 30 percent will require some college or a two-year associate degree. CTE serves 94 percent of all high school students, including male and female students, students from many races and ethnicities, and students from higher and lower income backgrounds. However, at the start of the 21st century, male students; students from smaller, lower income or rural schools; students who have disabilities; and students who enter high school with lower academic achievement were more likely to participate in secondary CTE at higher levels. CTE students on the postsecondary level are also a broad and varied group, but they are more likely than other students to be older, married and working partor full-time. They are also more likely to come from a family background of less educational attainment. Revised and Last Printed: 1/29/2016 Frequently Asked Questions Page 5 of 5
