This initiative by the Missouri Center for Career Education focuses on integrating Common Core State Standards (CCSS) into Career and Technical Education (CTE) practices. Led by Michelle Conrad and Larae Watkins, the program offers workshops, professional development, and resources aimed at aligning math and literacy standards with CTE programs. Key efforts include creating translation guides for teachers, documenting cross-curricular projects, and facilitating meaningful conversations among educators to enhance teaching strategies.

Missouri • Missouri Center for Career Education • Contracted by Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to assist with: • Curriculum development • Induction programs • Research • Resources for teachers • DESE Office of College and Career Readiness presented state meetings on the CCSS January-March 2011
What we noticed . . . • Reactions of math teachers to “Modeling” • Phrasing of Mathematics Standards of Practice • Reading for Literacy in Science & Technical Subjects • Reading for Informational Text • Use of technology & multimedia
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
