Curriculum Materials

Catalysts for development of a curriculum include growing requests from NC educators for materials that guide students through the key steps in career and college planning, increasing educational expectations for NC students, and the addition of significant new resources to CFNC.org. Development began in early 2007 with the creation of two advisory teams of NC educators: a middle school team and a high school team. The learning outcomes, sequences, and format of the curriculum are based on:
