THE SENIOR SCOOP
ACCELERATE AT BVSD
Career and Technical Education (CTE), now known as ‘Accelerate’ in the Boulder Valley
School District (BVSD), is a core component of BVSD’s secondary curriculum and the
BVSD Grad Plus framework, which expands graduates' skill sets by providing students
with learning opportunities and credentials that offer a head start on a career,
postsecondary education, or both.
The goal of Grad Plus is that every student, beginning in Pre-K through graduation,
begins learning about work, are exposed to career pathways, and have opportunities to
participate in work-based learning, earn college credit, industry certifications and the
Seal of Biliteracy.
BVSD’s Accelerate programming and courses, are a pillar of the district’s Grad Plus
framework, and are designed to empower students through relevant, rigorous academic
and technical skills for career and college readiness. Accelerate courses are offered at
both middle and high schools as well as at BVSD’s Technical Education Center, Boulder
TEC.
Please contact your Grad+ specialist if you have any questions, Dr. Kelly Isom at kelly.isom@bvsd.org.
