The repository is a web-based, searchable electronic library that stores and provides links to occupational, academic and employability standards that can be used by career and technical educators across the country. The repository links the 16 career clusters suggested by the U. S. Department of Education to the appropriate standards, and offers examples of cluster projects being conducted across the country that incorporate standards into curriculum. In addition, the system design offers a procedure for collecting, formatting, cataloging and uploading materials into the repository. Projected Outcomes Practitioners and policy makers have a central location from which they can easily access information about occupational and academic skill standards, as well as performance and accountability indicators.
Information is downloadable and searchable by keywords.
This electronic web-based repository will be available on demand through the National Dissemination Center website. The information contained in this repository should substantially increase the knowledge of career and technical educators about standards, performance and accountability indicators.
