Educational Leadership:Reshaping High Schools:Bringing Industry to the Classroom on 2009-07-03
- Even more remarkable, a small but rapidly growing number of high school students
  have discovered what many educators and policymakers still overlook—that it is
  possible to prepare for both college and career simultaneously.
- Research concludes that many people learn better and faster, and retain
  information longer, when they are taught concepts in context.

- - integrated academic and technical curriculum leads to higher test scores if
    implemented well.
  - Even without an integrated curriculum, students taking both academic and
    technical courses may have lower dropout rates and better achievement gains than
    other students. In an analysis of the National Education Longitudinal Survey, a
    large study monitoring student achievement data and other factors for more than
    a decade, researchers found that the risk of dropping out was four times higher
    when students took no CTE courses than when they completed a balance of CTE and
    academic subjects
  - By connecting demanding technical education to challenging
    academics, CTE transforms both domains. Academic subjects acquire authenticity
    and real-world meaning; technical content becomes grounded in scholarship and
    intellectual rigor. Students come to understand that both are important, and
    they are therefore more likely to emerge from high school ready for lasting
    success in both college and career.
