Frameworks
State - local divisions determine CTE course content
Course frameworks
StandardsNational standards
ITEEA - Standards for Technological Literacy
NASAFACS - National Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences Education
AAAS - Science Education StandardsNCTM - Math Standards and
ExpectationsMany more
Definitions
Integrated curriculum: Information taught in other coursesBreaks down barriersLearning becomes more meaningful
Definitions
Interdisciplinary curriculum:A topic and related issuesConnections between discrete
disciplinesCollaboration necessary
DefinitionsDifference between integrated and
interdisciplinary curriculum: Integrated curriculum discusses
information students learned (or will learn) in other courses
DefinitionsDifference between integrated and
interdisciplinary curriculum: Interdisciplinary curriculum -
information concurrently taught (e.g. Culinary Arts (Family & Consumer Sciences) and Earth Science courses.
Getting Started
CTE teacher must understand course framework, national and state standards
Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs)Understand the two different
approaches to integration
Example of Integrated CurriculumIntegrated curriculum - easiest to startEXAMPLE: Eighth grade technology
education courseBridge building lesson & activityAddress mathematics 6th - 8th grade
standards:Student use visualization, spatial
reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems
Example of Integrated Curriculum Design and construct
a balsa wood bridge Teachers use same
terminology, stress same principles as math teachers
Teachers must understand math terms and principles
Example of Interdisciplinary Curriculum
EXAMPLE: Culinary Arts Food sources lesson & activity Foods were once living organisms Science Standards - cells, multi-cellular
organisms, and eco-systemsComplex molecules
Carbohydrates Fats Proteins
Example of Interdisciplinary CurriculumChemical reaction - effects taste,
human body reactionInformation concurrently presented in
Culinary Arts and Earth Science courses
Requires close coordination between core and culinary arts teachers
Students make connections between foods & science courses
Recommendations
Start out simpleExpound on information already being
taughtIntroduce new information when
comfortable
Recommendations
Perform necessary researchNational standardsState and local requirementsKnow what is taught in other coursesUse correct terminologyTeach relevant information that
students will understand
RecommendationsLong term project
Long haulCreate a long range planBackward design method - where do
you want to be in 10 - 15 yearsCollaborate with
Core teachersAdministratorsStudentsParents
Recommendations
Core academic teachersLesson plans & pacing guidesWhat & when is information being
taughtStart by modifying existing plans -
create new ones when you feel readyStart small and grow!
Recommendations
Apply for grantsMoney for the asking: NASA / NSFGrant writing not difficult - help in your
division is probably available If you do not ask for the money -
someone else will get it
Recommendations
Perform studies - determine level of success
Publish articles - advertise your success Local newspaperProfessional journals
Present briefs based on your articles
Conclusion
Integration is not newNot easy/difficultTakes time and effort
It is up to each teacher to demonstrate that CTE does support students’ academic success!
