PATHWAYS CLUSTER DESIGN


At Monterey High School, Career Pathways Clusters and Courses of Study connect learning in the classroom with
real-world application outside of school. Each links rigorous academic instruction with technical knowledge and
field experience. The ability to provide students with a range of relevant content in a variety of ways is a hallmark
of the pathway cluster and course of study approaches. Pathway clusters and courses of study are offered through a
number of delivery systems. Based on four guiding principles and four core components, the pathway cluster and
courses of study approach maintains the integrity of course majors that prepare students for postsecondary study and
careers, while offering communities the ability to center that education around themes that connect directly to their
regions economies.
