What we’ve done . . . • Reading the standards & comparisons/alignment to CTE standards (Business Education, Health Science Education, Education & Training, Construction Trades) • Conversations with teachers to recognize how CTE fits into the CCSS and how CCSS fit into CTE • Applying the Common Core State Standards Workshop to determine teacher needs – on both sides
Where Missouri’s going . . . • Professional development sessions throughout the state • Online implementation documents for Math & ELA • Continuing alignments to CTE standards • Documenting examples from CTE • Developing “translation” guide for teachers for math content standards • Developing writing posters, rubrics, scoring guides for CTE teachers • Documenting sample cross curricular projects • Developing teacher professional development to facilitate cross curricular conversations
