  Strategy Three - Create Learning Modules
  • Academic and career/technical integration requires training and concentrated time for planning. Concentrating on one or two program areas allows planners to focus.

  • Using suggestions from brainstorming and teamwork initiatives, create learning modules in math, reading and language that are career/technically specific for each program. Use the career/technical vocabulary, the math used on the job, and the reading material from that area in the modules. Keep assignments short and clear. Use an assortment of examples.

  • Provide lessons that can be taken into the career/technical classroom for large group instruction, presented in small groups, or used individually.

  • Care must be taken to provide instruction for students of varying learning styles.

  • Allow team members to review and reflect on the integrated plans.

  • Adjust VPI learning modules according to team reactions.
