ACTE's Region II Conference 2026

This session examines how educators implement the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme in public high schools. The IBCP blends rigorous academics with career-focused learning, yet adoption remains limited across many states. This session shares the planned qualitative study of Florida schools and focuses on how school leaders and teachers interpret, adapt, and sustain this model within existing policy and accountability structures.


Participants will explore how programs integrate academic coursework with career pathways, build partnerships, and align with workforce needs. The session will highlight practical strategies used by schools to expand access, strengthen program coherence, and support student engagement. Attendees will leave with clear insights into how hybrid college and career models operate in real settings and how these approaches transfer to other CTE contexts.
