CTE career-specific skillsAligned with national/state industry standards

DispositionsCareer traits and attitudes an employer would desire in an employee

Universal dispositionsCareer specific

Modeled, directly taught, and assessed on a daily basis

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

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

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

Academic lessons are co-planned and co-taught by both the CTE teacher and certified academic teacher

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

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

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.

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 StandardsLiteracy 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 StandardsLiteracy 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 StandardsLiteracy 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 customer’s specific finances, age, geography, etc. (Example of sources: Consumer’s Report, manufacturer’s materials, customer interview, industry articles)

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 engine’s horsepower rating at that engine speed?
