Curriculum Resources
More and more we are finding that the skills needed to be successful in the workplace are the same skills needed to be successful in a postsecondary educational institute. As CTE teachers, it is imperative that we prepare students for both of these options by integrating academic content into our CTE courses -- we are the laboratory through which those concepts become concrete.
