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.
Today's focus is Test Taking Strategies to assist students with enhancing their test-taking skills. When students are provided with different test-taking strategies, they are calmer and have less anxiety when taking tests. Tests can be a little daunting, but with the right tools and knowledge, they can be approached with a calm, self-assured focus. When students feel empowered and confident, they can think more clearly and is able to recall what they’ve studied.
A confident student is able to focus, hear instructions, and think more clearly during the test. As a result, success is achieved!
