Impact Of Career And Technical Education Among High School Students In Texas, Tammy Ridgway

Existing research documents the importance and relevance of career and technical education (CTE) throughout American history.

The literature provides strong evidence between student success, in terms of high school graduation rate and post-secondary educational attainment, and the participation in career and technical education during the high school years. This dissertation analyzes whether dual credit career and technical education …

It is a common but not unrealistic stereotype of Asian students that educational success is a matter of personal identity and status.

This theoretical paper hopes to apply the concept of anti-fragility developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, …
