We have seen success in increasing student engagement in our district by connecting sdtudents and teachers with community partners to conduct client-centered projects. We work with employers in our community to present real problems to be solved by our students. Students may be asked to design a new logo, create a computer application or some other task related to the companies operation. We have employed this strategy across all content areas, but have seen the greatest buy in from our CTE teeachers. Students have reported enjoying these projects most.
