Literacy and the Trades: Making Literacy Work for Career and Technical Education (CTE)
September 30 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
This session empowers Career and Technical Education (CTE) instructors to support student literacy by focusing on the language comprehension skills which are essential for helping students make meaning of complex technical texts, instructions, and workplace communication. Participants will explore practical, discipline-specific strategies to build students’ skills in ways that directly enhance their ability to understand and apply content in real-world career contexts.
By embedding these strategies into everyday instruction, CTE
educators will improve student engagement, comprehension, and readiness for both certification and the workforce. Offering 5 Act 48 hours.
