The process for designing and implementing Programs of Study will be helpful to maintain continuity across the state and capitalize on systems that school and colleges already have in place. Following these guidelines should enable a consortium to design and implement POS that will benefit students of all ages, as they explore career options and plan an educational program. POS will include five processes:
- Key consortium stakeholder support and POS advisory work group development
- Program of Study Design and Implementation Elements
- Sustainability
- Communication Systems
- Continuous Improvement
