Description
The State of Illinois Model Programs of Study Guides were developed in collaboration with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) through a process led and facilitated by Education Systems Center (EdSystems) at Northern Illinois University. The process included extensive research into labor market information and credential programs, as well as dialogue across secondary, postsecondary, and employer stakeholders. With the support of ICCB, EdSystems researched the utilization of the State of Illinois Model Programs of Study Guides: Culinary and Hospitality and Human and Public Service.
We consulted with ICCB to receive the Perkins V Instructional Course Sequence submissions for the 2024–2025 school year. We reviewed a series of submissions from various community colleges representing rural, suburban, and urban areas. In this report, we explain our approach, present the findings, and offer recommendations to improve the implementation of the Model Program of Study Guides in service of student success.
