INTEGRATING ACADEMIC AND 
CAREER/TECHNICAL EDUCATION

            A consortium of 7 schools from Pennsylvania collaboratively established 
standards for career/technical education programs that are integrated 
with Pennsylvania�s existing educational math and
science standards.

      To implement this initiative, the consortium created an Internet-based system 
for statewide information sharing and for monitoring student achievement of the 
standards.  The consortium provided professional development on integrating 
the math and science standards into career/technical education and vice versa..  
By tapping into industry expectations for career/technical education standards, 
the consortium was able to develop models for integrating state math and 
science standards into the curriculum of the career/technical programs. 
This hopefully will be great for our students.

      For more information on this project visit the consortium website

  •  Listen and agree.  Use phrases such as �I see your point� or �I agree
    with you." Then Stop Talking Don't explain why you agree, instead, 
    let the employee complain.
  • Express you admiration for the employee's work. 
    That often soothes wounded pride. Speak in a soft,
    reassuring tone, even if the employee is loud, hostile or tearful.
    Your heartfelt comments will sink in if you say it with honest emotion.
  • Urge the employee t analyze the situation with an eye toward solving it.
    Say "Let's assess where we stand" or "So by looking at the big picture, we need to ...
    By injectin a dose of perspective, you direct attention form what ails the 
    employee to curing it.
