With the renewed importance of a fully integrated academic and CTE programming for all students driven by the ISBE College and Career Pathway Endorsements, participants learn about the best practices in integrated lesson design to bring back to their school district to help support teachers of all trades in making school-wide CTE a reality. Using ACTE’s “Synergizing Success: Academics and Career Integration for CTE,” participants will learn practical planning strategies for team-based challenges and learn to develop career-focused lesson plans that empower students to make informed decisions about their education based on their interests, strengths, and aspirations.
