haphazardly, almost as an add-on or afterthought in various courses, but there was no intentional plan to include career education for all students. Our school joined a newly formed county-wide Career Pathway Consortium in 1998 and determined career education needed to be imbedded in courses for all students. Through our curriculum review process, we developed the Futures program as an answer to this problem. Futures I, required for all ninth graders was implemented in 2001-2002 and provides a foundation to the knowledge and skills identified in the standards.

detail.However, a preliminary review of the new KTH curriculum indicates that there is now apotential for a KTH VT dual degree program, starting two years at KTH, followed by a VTSummer II session (6 weeks starting in early-July), followed by a VT Fall and Spring semester,and then followed by a VT Summer I session (6 weeks ending in late-June). Similarly, the newcurriculum appear to have a potential for VT KTH dual degree program as well withoutadding time to graduation. The basis for these positive assessments is that the fundamentals ofengineering is completed largely during the first two years, and the third year consistsexclusively of courses that have a direct and equally-weighted counterpart at VT.This last point is important when considering
