P-TECH 535 Secondary Assistant Principal

by

P-TECH 535 is the first Minnesota version of a pioneering school model aimed at preparing young people with the academic, technical, and professional skills required for 21st Century Jobs and ongoing education.  P-TECH 535 represents the best of what public-private partnerships can look like, with students taking high school and college coursework simultaneously and engaging in industry-guided workforce development.  P-TECH 535 spans grades 9-14 and enables students to earn both a high school diploma and a no-cost, two year postsecondary degree or industry credential.  Students participate in a range of workplace experiences, including mentorship, worksite visits, and paid internships.  Upon graduation, students have the academic and professional skills required to either continue their education in a four-year postsecondary institution or secure employment into entry-level careers in one of our two pathways; Information Technology and Licensed Practical Nursing.  While P-TECH 535 encompasses six years, students are able to move at their own pace, enabling some to accelerate through the model in as little as four years.  P-TECH serves students from primarily underserved backgrounds, with no testing or grade requirements.

The P-TECH 535 School Leader is the linchpin of the planning year (2020-2021).  S/he helps all parties build a strong, shared vision for staff, students, and families.  Because the aim of P-TECH 535 is to help students move seamlessly from high school to college to career, the school leader must be familiar with the culture, expectations, and norms of all three environments.
