Description
This study examined the differences in American school systems at the high school level to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program (DP) . This study looked at student exposure to extensive amount of information on career clusters, future job options, and life pathways. Although core curriculum in United States schools such as mathematics, science, and English prepare students for common core assessments and state testing, high schools need to spend more time in career exploration for students tailored to their own interests. “A national survey commissioned by The Hunt Institute found that a solid majority of parents of school age children (64 percent) and especially parents of high school students (71 percent) believe having programs and courses that teach job skills for future workforce needs is very important.” (Siddiqi, 2022) The purpose of my research is to show how business classes with a guided and controlled curriculum can be beneficial by guiding students to utilize project-based learning and internships to set themselves up for secondary education or the workforce in a career they are interested in.
