CTE Mission

• CTE teaches the skills and dispositions necessary
  to ensure students are employable
  (military-ready) or able to enter a
  post-secondary institution without having to take
  remedial courses

Integrated Academics

• Explicitly teaching academic concepts embedded in
  the CTE curriculum as necessary tools for solving
  workplace problems

7
CTE New Paradigm

• Intentionality to which the integration occurs,
  applying rigorous national industry, and Common
  Core State academic Standards, and using
  research-based practices to teach

8
Engagement and Relevance

• Academics becomes just another tool in the
  students developing toolbox. The auto technician
  may reach for a wrench or an algebra formula to
  determine how best to improve your engines
  performance.

9
Collaboration

• Academic lessons are co-planned and co-taught by
  both the CTE teacher and certified academic
  teacher
• English teacher
• Literacy coach
• Science teacher
• Math teacher

10
Integrated Academics

• Applying CTE relevance to the teaching equation
  increases student engagement and achievement

11
High Schools That Work (HSTW)

• Became a High Schools That Work site in 2001
• Formed a Literacy Team in 2009 and trained team
  using the Literacy Across the Curriculum six-day
  workshop
• Wrote our Literacy Plan in 2009
• Trained entire CTE staff in 2010

12
Oswego County BOCES Literacy Goals 2012-2013

• Students will
• read a minimum of three books or 300 pages of
  technical text
• complete a minimum of one writing assignment
  weekly
• use reading and writing strategies daily
• develop at least one research project/paper
• Student literacy activities/projects will be
  reviewed by certified English teachers for rigor
  and content.

High Schools That Work (HSTW)

• The High Schools That Work Assessment is based on
  the National Assessment of Educational Progress
  (NAEP). The HSTW Assessment is designed to
  measure student readiness for post-secondary
  education and the workplace. The Educational
  Testing Service (ETS) creates, scores, and
  generates the statistical reports for the HSTW
  Assessment.

Testing Year of students who met the reading readiness goal
2008 25
2010 56
2012 69
Meeting the readiness goal means a student is
likely able to enter post-secondary studies
without needing to take remedial courses and
likely able to pass the reading portion of
most employer exams for entry level positions.

• Aligned with college and work expectations
• Focused and coherent
• Define what all students are expected to know and
  be able to do at grade levels K-12
• Internationally benchmarked
• Based on evidence and research

SUBJECTS

Common Core State Standards Literacy in Technical Subjects Common Core State Standards Literacy in Technical Subjects
Reading Standard 1 Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account. Writing Standard 1 Write arguments focused on discipline-specific content. After reading the article about the merits of the new 2013 Prius, argue whether the evidence the author uses to compliment the improvements make the car more desirable for purchase (and if more important improvements should have been made). From what you know about servicing the lawn mower, refer to service manuals from two different manufacturers and argue which is more clear and complete as the service technician.

Common Core State Standards Literacy in Technical Subjects Common Core State Standards Literacy in Technical Subjects
Reading Standard 3 Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks analyze the specific results based on explanations in the text. After preparing a car door for painting, evaluate your work based on having followed the steps detailed in the textbook. After setting up the kitchen area for an activity with four-year-olds, use the safety chart in the textbook to evaluate your learning site. As you bathe a patient, have a peer check off the steps or procedures provided by the textbook as you complete each step (technique and sequence).

Common Core State Standards Literacy in Technical Subjects Common Core State Standards Literacy in Technical Subjects
Reading Standard 7 Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., quantitative data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or solve a problem. Discuss the trends in firefighter injuries in the last decade to include types of injuries and types of duties during injury. (Example of sources FEMA, NFPA articles/tables/charts/graphs) Advise a potential customer to install a specific type of heating (radiant, hot water, gas, propane, or solar) based on the customers specific finances, age, geography, etc. (Example of sources Consumers Report, manufacturers materials, customer interview, industry articles)

Algebra

• The gable roof of a structure having a span of 24
  feet and length of 36 feet has a rise of 5 inches
  per foot of run. The rafters are 2 by 8, spaced
  16 inches on center and have a 12 inch overhang.
  Calculate the total number of common rafters
  needed for the roof.
• An 18 inch rotary lawn mower blade turns with a
  force of 2.5 pounds at the tip of the blade. How
  much torque is generated?
• At 2600 RPM, an engine is capable of doing 1925
  foot-pounds of work per second. What is the
  engines horsepower rating at that engine speed?
