CTE & Applied Pathways
When Courses Exist, but Pathways Don’t
Rebuilding Coherence for CTE and AP
Career and Advanced Placement courses are meant to open doors — to college, careers, and meaningful postsecondary options. Yet in many districts, CTE and AP offerings exist as isolated courses rather than coherent pathways.
CTE leaders and AP coordinators are asked to expand access, increase rigor, and demonstrate outcomes — often without curriculum designed to support progression, alignment, or consistency across courses.
Can districts build strong pathways without rebuilding everything from scratch?
Delivering high-quality CTE and AP programs requires more than individual courses.
It requires curriculum intentionally designed to connect skills, knowledge, and progression over time.
NovoDia partners with districts to design CTE and AP curriculum systems that align to standards, industry expectations, and instructional goals — while fitting within existing district structures.
Whether launching new pathways, modernizing legacy courses, or filling gaps publishers don’t address, NovoDia helps districts move from standalone offerings to connected, coherent learning journeys.
