CTE teaches the skills and
dispositions necessary to ensure
students are employable (militaryready) or able to enter a postsecondary institution without
having to take remedial courses

CTE career-specific skills
Aligned with national/state industry standards
Dispositions
Career traits and attitudes an employer would desire in
an employee
Universal dispositions
Career 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.

readiness goal

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
STANDARDS FOR
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
&
LITERACY IN HISTORY/SOCIAL STUDIES,
SCIENCE, AND TECHNICAL SUBJECTS
Common Core State Standards
Literacy 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.
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).
Writing Standard 1: Write
arguments focused on disciplinespecific content.
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 Standards
Literacy 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 Standards
Literacy 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?
