  1. CTE - Supporting Students’ Academic Success! by: Johnny J Moye, Ph.D.

  2. Overview • Introductions • Frameworks and standards • Definitions • Getting started • Examples • Recommendations • Conclusion • Questions/Comments

  3. Introductions • Your name • Where are you from • Position

  4. Introductions • Johnny J Moye • Retired Navy - 27+ years • Taught high school technology education for 5 years • Career and Technical Education Supervisor 2 years

  5. Frameworks • State - local divisions determine CTE course content • Course frameworks

  6. Standards • National standards • ITEEA - Standards for Technological Literacy • NASAFACS - National Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences Education • AAAS - Science Education Standards • NCTM - Math Standards and Expectations • Many more

  7. Definitions • Integrated curriculum: • Information taught in other courses • Breaks down barriers • Learning becomes more meaningful

  8. Definitions • Interdisciplinary curriculum: • A topic and related issues • Connections between discrete disciplines • Collaboration necessary

  9. Definitions • Difference between integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum: • Integrated curriculum discusses information students learned (or will learn) in other courses

  10. Definitions • Difference between integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum: • Interdisciplinary curriculum - information concurrently taught (e.g. Culinary Arts (Family & Consumer Sciences) and Earth Science courses.

  11. Getting Started • CTE teacher must understand course framework, national and state standards • Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs) • Understand the two different approaches to integration

  12. Example of Integrated Curriculum • Integrated curriculum - easiest to start • EXAMPLE: Eighth grade technology education course • Bridge building lesson & activity • Address mathematics 6th - 8th grade standards: • Student use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems

  13. Example of Integrated Curriculum • Design and construct a balsa wood bridge • Teachers use same terminology, stress same principles as math teachers • Teachers must understand math terms and principles

  14. Example of Interdisciplinary Curriculum • EXAMPLE: Culinary Arts • Food sources lesson & activity • Foods were once living organisms • Science Standards - cells, multi-cellular organisms, and eco-systems • Complex molecules • Carbohydrates • Fats • Proteins

  15. Example of Interdisciplinary Curriculum • Chemical reaction - effects taste, human body reaction • Information concurrently presented in Culinary Arts and Earth Science courses • Requires close coordination between core and culinary arts teachers • Students make connections between foods & science courses

  16. Recommendations • Start out simple • Expound on information already being taught • Introduce new information when comfortable

  17. Recommendations • Perform necessary research • National standards • State and local requirements • Know what is taught in other courses • Use correct terminology • Teach relevant information that students will understand

  18. Recommendations • Long term project • Long haul • Create a long range plan • Backward design method - where do you want to be in 10 - 15 years • Collaborate with • Core teachers • Administrators • Students • Parents

  19. Recommendations • Core academic teachers • Lesson plans & pacing guides • What & when is information being taught • Start by modifying existing plans - create new ones when you feel ready • Start small and grow!

  20. Recommendations • Apply for grants • Money for the asking: NASA / NSF • Grant writing not difficult - help in your division is probably available • If you do not ask for the money - someone else will get it

  21. Recommendations • Perform studies - determine level of success • Publish articles - advertise your success • Local newspaper • Professional journals • Present briefs based on your articles

  22. Conclusion • Integration is not new • Not easy/difficult • Takes time and effort • It is up to each teacher to demonstrate that CTE does support students’ academic success!
