Do you have a great story about  using AchieveTexas materials?

Let us know how you, your school, and staff have used AchieveTexas material for successful outcomes. Contact Dr. Karen Alexander at Karen.alexander@ttu.edu.

TAC§74.3 Description of a Required Secondary Curriculum states that a district must provide career and technical education selected from at least three of the eight (sixteen) career and technical areas (clusters) taught on a campus in the school district with provisions for contracting for additional offerings with programs or institutions as may be practical. It is a Perkins grant requirement that there is at least one Program of Study in each of the three locally selected clusters.

The Counselors Guide

"Students can succeed in school, career, and life if they plan their own individual programs of study for secondary and postsecondary education."

 Everything is bigger in Texas. AchieveTexas combines rigorous academics with relevant career education to prepare Texas students to compete and win in the global marketplace. The goal of AchieveTexas is to prepare students and allow them to choose an education plan that is best for their goals and talents.

AchieveTexas extends Tech Prep's relevant career preparation activities and focuses on lifelong learning for lifetime success. Students are encouraged to view learning as a process. 

The Resource Guide for school counselors gives an overview of essential AchieveTexas information, how to implement Texas Achievement Plans (TAPs), enhance career guidance, and answer questions. For a copy of the Counselor's Guide, select the guide.

What Should Career Guidance and Academic Counseling be?         

Perkins IV defines Career Guidance and Academic Counseling as providing access for students to information regarding career awareness and planning with respect to an individual's occupational and academic future, and providing information with respect to career options, financial aid, and postsecondary options.
