Integrating CTE Standards, Science, Math & Language Arts by Pathway |
Granada |
Curriculum Integration | 77 | In the highly competitive global economy of the 21st century, it is crucial that our students are well-equipped with knowledge in science, math, and the language arts to succeed. Accordingly, the State of California developed rigorous and comprehensive standards for Career Technical Education (CTE). With funding from an SB 70 Grant, Coastline ROP designed workshops to integrate the CTE standards. ROP and non-ROP academic teachers collaborated in career cluster teams to design instructional strategies that best deliver the integrated content to students. In this workshop, the focus will be on the incorporation of science, math, and the language arts. Come and learn how Coastline ROP provided opportunities for both ROP and non-ROP academic teachers to collaborate on creating lesson plans that effectively implement the CTE standards and fostered collegial teamwork, strengthening the quality of curricula across the board. |

Professional Learning Communities (PLC) for CTE |
Madrid |
Career Pathways/ Industry Sectors | 80 | This session will focus on how Orange County (OC) set up a regional approach to two important issues, PLC for CTE and Industry Engagement. As a director of CTE for a K12 school district of 22,000 students, successfully addressing these two issues is basically impossible for even a medium sized district like ours. Thus we pulled together representatives from all OC districts, Tech Preps, ROPs, and community and business partners to provide a regional approach. We created an OC Extended Edition to this conference to launch this program. Learn how to replicate this for your region. |
