Purposeful Scheduling: Aligning CTE and Academic Coursework for Student Success
Monday, July 20 · 3:45 PM – 4:30 PM · Franklin
This conference session will examine how course development can strengthen the connection between Career Technical Education (CTE) programs and related academic classes. Participants will explore approaches for pairing and sequencing academic courses with CTE instruction to reinforce skills, concepts, and real-world application across content areas. Examples will include creating common collaboration periods for intervention specialists and academic co-teachers, developing a Veterinary Science–specific Anatomy course, and designing a Technical Math course to support math skill development within heavy trades labs. This session is designed for administrators, counselors, CTE instructors, and academic teachers seeking strategies for creating related academic courses that are intentional, collaborative, and aligned to both career pathways and academic outcomes.
