Literacy Integration
Academic Integration in Career and Technical Education means merging technical skill development based on business/industry standards with content knowledge from core academic subjects (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science or Social Studies).
The Office of CTE's goal is for you to enable students to explore, hypothesize and reason logically; make connections with everyday situations; and strengthen their ability to use a variety of methods to think critically and solve problems in their career paths.
All students need strong skills in reading, writing, math, and science to succeed in college or careers. Career and Technical Education (CTE) students also require these skills to meet workplace demands. As a result, integrating core academics into CTE courses improves students’ performance on standardized tests.
A confident student is able to focus, hear instructions, and think more clearly during the test. As a result, success is achieved!
Did you know? Literacy and numeracy strategies include communicating through language (reading/writing, listening/speaking); using the academic vocabulary of the discipline; interpreting meaning within the discipline; and communicating through the discipline. Research shows that teacher integration of effective discipline-specific literacy and numeracy strategies result in academic success.
"Wednesday is the bridge between the start of the week and the weekend ahead—
keep working, the best is yet to come!
Happy WINning Wednesday!
Workplace Tip: Developing positive and productive communication skills will help you perform well with coworkers, clients, and customers.
Did you know?
Developing literacy and numeracy through word problems prepares students for both academic success and future career readiness.
In many careers, employees must read instructions, interpret data, calculate costs, analyze information, and clearly explain their reasoning to others. Word problems mirror these real-life workplace situations by combining literacy and numeracy in meaningful ways.
Numeracy Integration
Numeracy Integration in Career and Technical Education is a way of integrating math skills into different subjects across the curriculum. Being numerate is the ability to understand numbers, and to use them effectively and appropriately.
Here's a worksheet for practicing some Pre-Algebra examples.
ASVAB Tuesdays:
Happy Targeting the ASVAB Tuesday!
Did you know?
ASVAB preparation is most effective when students feel relaxed, capable, and motivated, rather than pressured or intimidated by testing. When instruction relies only on repetitive worksheets or timed drills, students may disengage or experience increased test anxiety—both of which can negatively affect performance. In contrast, games, teamwork, and real-life problem solving create a learning environment where students are more willing to take risks, ask questions, and persist through challenges.
Attached you will find interactive approaches to strengthen the same cognitive skills the ASVAB measures, including reading for meaning, applying math to real situations, visualizing mechanical systems, and reasoning through multi-step problems. Have fun! ASVAB Activities & Strategies
DID YOU KNOW? ASVAB assists in promoting career literacy through personalized career exploration, awareness of career-field entry requirements, and future-oriented planning tools that help students develop an action plan they can share with parents and educators.
