Attached you will find a listing of questions and answers over implementation of career clusters. It is a long document and there is a lot of information on the pages. Hopefully, it can address some of the questions you or others have had over how "to do" career clusters. Also remember to check the website at least monthly for updates. Go to
www.okcareertech.org and look to the left. Click on the Career Clusters-Moving Oklahoma Forward button. (website:
