Literacy in Career and Technical Education (CTE) is the ability to read, write, speak, and critically interpret technical diagrams, industry documentation, and real-world workplace data. To apply this, I intend to scaffold complex technical texts with vocabulary strategies and guided reading tools so students can independently navigate specialized manuals. By explicitly teaching these skills, we can bridge the gap between classroom learning and the precise communication required on the job.
