This document summarizes Oklahoma's efforts to transition from Programs of Study to Rigorous Programs of Study (RPOS) in career and technical education. It provides background on Oklahoma's CTE system and partners. It then discusses key frameworks for RPOS implementation, including legislation/policies, partnerships, professional development, accountability, standards, course sequences, credit transfer agreements, and others. Finally, it outlines Oklahoma institutions' current projects to address barriers to RPOS implementation in areas like visual design, career academies, advisement programs, manufacturing, and teacher development.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Welcome to Moving from Programs of Study to Rigorous Programs of Study in Oklahoma
- #10: Current definition
- #11: Programs of Study are more than a Plan of Study, or Individual Career Plan. POS starts at the Cluster level.
- #12: Programs of Study is a part of school improvement. It is a part of the work done by SREB, mentioned in Pathways to Prosperity and is the new vision for CTE of the National State Directors. It is currently a requirement in Carl Perkins. It is the right thing to do for students regardless of what happens to Perkins funding.
