Classroom 2 Career has been a great way for teachers, administrators and parents/students to collaborate about a student's future goals.  This program has allowed everyone to better communicate about each students' goals.

Permitting time for academic and CTE instructors to work on a joint student project together would be very benificial to the process.  Students would learn how to apply concepts while also experiencing authentic workplace applications.

Culture and climate are the synergy that operates daily with the school.  This synergy comes from daily morning get together among all staff for about ten minutes and then every staff member having lunch together.  The scheduling of these collaborative teams is made possible because the staff and myself find them valuable.

Career Technical Education allows school districts to bring in various business models that illustrate how the business world measures success.  Through these processes, academic teachers learn from CTE instructors, thus allowing a more collaborative approach.  This collaboration leads to a stronger team as both groups learn how to integrate theoretical learning with application.  The students benefit as a result of the collaboration making them better prepared for the future opportunities.
