Curriculum Integration Connecting Academic And Career And Technical Education, Crystal Yvette Clark

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project was to develop a curriculum that will help integrate Academic, Career, and Technical Education. The basic purpose of curriculum integration is to help student make connections between academic and technical information, to help them discover the answer to "Why do I have to learn this?" In 1990, the federal government mandated the "integration" of Academic and Career and Technical Education through amendments to the Carl D. Perkins Vocation Education Act of 1984.
