The CRVT Process

Dr. David Conley and Educational Policy
Improvement Center (EPIC/ University of Oregon)
Their model is based on entry level college
general education
The model is course subject area based, not
specialized degrees. General ed. is a reference
point.

CRVT Process cont.

The same knowledge and skills for these courses
applies to high skill/high demand technical areas
(career readiness) (according to Dr. Conley)
The aim of curricular realignment is to enhance
high school students knowledge and skills (not
necessarily track them into four-year higher
ed.)
All students are meant to develop a strong set of
academic skills
