The mission of Career and Technical Education is to assist schools in providing students with the skills necessary for a successful transition to post secondary education or work and a desire for life-long learning in a global society.
Using the Paxton/Patterson "Growing Up Ready" © modular lab program the students are taught the kinds of life skills needed to be successful at home, school, work, and in the community. Students work in a modular lab that incorporates instructional units, which are aligned with the 16 national standards. Pairs of students work through 7-10 days of learning at each modular workstation using reading, writing, problem-solving, and math skills to complete assignments. The labs foster growth in three key areas: technological awareness, academic performance, and social development.
The modules currently installed at the middle schools include: Banking Services, Credit Cycle, Comparative Buying, Consumer Protection, Childcare, Caregiving, Parenting, Global Child, Science in the Kitchen, Math in the Kitchen, Workplace Knowhow, Facility Maintenance, Spatial Planning, Color By Design, Architectural Design, Cartography, Event Planning, Global Travel, Public Relations, Fashion Fundamentals, Nutritional Facts, Scientific Body
