Workshops that Work
Gibbs, Hope J.
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers, v79 n6 p46-47 Sep 2004
As more career and technical educators are faced with integrating academics into their curricula, workshops for teachers may help them to get started. In this brief article, Crystal B. Taylor, Ph.D., director of career, technical and adult education for the Roanoke City Public Schools in Virginia, describes four workshops on integrating academics during the school year. Taylor reports positive feedback from workshop attendees and believes that teachers return to the classroom with knowledge that is contributing to raising overall test scores for students. Taylor also expresses her desire to see more workshops. She believes in their value in increasing student achievement and professional development. Another advocate for workshops in integrating academics with CTE is Chris Zirkle, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Workforce Development and Education within the College of Education at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He has conducted several workshops on curriculum integration for several school districts.
