In two days I’ve come across two articles, from two states, each looking to stem the high school drop out rate and create a sense of relevancy for its high school students. And the solution, in both cases, is to offer rigorous, updated, academic-enriched career and technical education.
In Texas, Classes aimed at student interests shows how career and technical education is providing options for students so that they stay in school and upon graduation they could pursue a job or college. In California, the Senate leader makes big push for new-economy job skills notes that there are many jobs going unfilled because workers don’t have the skills and companies can’t find qualified workers; it is also noted that the California education system is trying to force all kids through the same “keyhole” and it simply isn’t working.
Are education systems finally seeing that the isolation of subject matter is resulting in a perceived lack of relevance? Students can learn math in construction, chemistry and physics in welding, algebra and trigonometry in machining, biology and statistics in health sciences, art in graphic design; reading and writing can be infused in all areas; technology can be integrated and 21st century thinking skills e
mbedded.
Today’s career and technical education (CTE) is rich and relevant - it is not your father’s shop class. Visit your local career and technical skills school, ask how academics are embedded, ask how the completion of CTE programs results in college credit for high school students. You may be amazed at what you find.
