[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to the PP that shared the CTE regions. Based on the NEC and DCC being intact in the CTE clusters I imagine these were designed with input from the Transportation department. However, the BoE should ask for updated CRE regions for each of the 5 regional options presented at the 7/24 meeting. MCPS sort of brushed off this question when the BOE asked at the meeting.

I think the CTE programs have yo be considered along side the individual school signature programs and any choice programs currently being offered.

IMO  each region should have at least one IB program, one SMACS type program, and one dual enrollment program. Then, each school should have an AP Scholars type of program (if they don’t have IB) and a couple of CTE/signature programs with a variety of focuses.[/quote]

All schools have dual enrollment.  Each school needs more AP and higher level classes so kids can choose their home schools.  They need to look at how many are graduating with IB diploma's and talk to families on if they want IB.  Very few from our school graduate with IB degrees so it shouldn't be an IB school.[/quote]
Hi
About how many?[/quote]

The solution to the IB program woes would be solved by integrating it with several of the existing magnets, for example Global Ecology and BioEngineering.  This would help emphasize it as not just humanities focus but interdisciplinary and research oriented. Including scientific research. Additionally the ToK and Research paper would be part of the required Capstone.[/quote]

Isn't the IBDP intense enough as it is without integrating it with additional programs?[/quote]
