Greetings!
Welcome back to the start of a new school year! Many of you have been back for several weeks now. I hope you have settled back into a routine. The Partnerships for Innovation was hard at work this summer. You'll note in the newsletter the Health Science Summer Institute was another great success; the Business, Marketing, Finance, and Law, Public Safety and Corrections Standards Revision Processes were very productive and PFI has more professional development opportunities for you this year.
PFI presented a video as an annual year in review at the Nebraska Career Education Conference this June. Check it out on You Tube.
PFI hopes that we are providing the resources and tools needed for you to be successful. If you have any insights or suggestions they are always welcome.
Good luck to another successful year!
Sincerely,
402-305-9480

Standards Revision: Business, Marketing, Finance and Law, Public Safety & Corrections |

This summer more than 70 amazing secondary and postsecondary faculty identified value-add courses for high school students to capstone a high school program of study experience. The value-add courses could have been available for college credit (pending instructor credentials), a state/national industry-based certification or work place learning experience. Designing with the End in Mind, the faculty built the preceding courses which lead up to the value-add course; ensuring stronger connectivity between secondary and postsecondary programs.
For a complete listing of the Programs of Study (sequence of three or more semester-based courses) and the Course Standards, please visit the PFI web site.
Thanks to those who committed a week of their summer to the process.
