Integrating Literacy into CTE Programs Workshop (PaTTAN)
This session equips CTE instructors, instructional coaches, administrators, and other CTE stakeholders with practical, evidence-based literacy strategies tailored to career and technical education settings. Participants will explore how reading comprehension and technical writing directly support program competencies — from following complex technical documentation to communicating clearly in workplace contexts. Rather than treating literacy as separate from CTE instruction, this session frames it as a core technical skill.
- All sessions will be from 8:30 Am to 3:00 PM
- Participants are eligible for 5.5 Act 48 hours

Integrating Mathematics into CTE Programs Workshop (PaTTAN)
This session equips CTE educators with the pedagogical tools and framework necessary to uncover and explicitly teach the mathematical concepts naturally embedded within their technical curricula. Participants explore the evidence based models and practices that teach how to bridge industry-specific jargon with academic math terminology without sacrificing vital hands-on lab time or CTE content. The training culminates in the development and peer refinement of a fully integrated, industry-aligned lesson plan ready for immediate classroom implementation.
- All sessions will be from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM
- Participants are eligible to receive 5.5 Act 48 hours
