• Goal is “College Ready.”• Academic test – Math and English – ACT or SAT– ACT Compass

• Technical CTE

Page 9: Technical Skill Assessment and the Success of Statewide Articulation Agreements Montana Rigorous Programs of Study

• The answer is too often “NO!”– Montana and many other states• 60% of students entering a two-year college fail

English, Math or both.• Enroll in non-credit remedial class• Only 50% move on to their major field

• Academic Knowledge/Skill in terms of CTE– Integrate math and literacy into CTE classes• National Research Center for Career and Technical

Education (NRCCTE)• Math-in-CTE• Literacy-in-CTE• Geometry in Construction• Dual-Credit College level Technical math/English

• Technical skills not as clear• Look to national standards– cluster standards (careertech.org)–NCCER–National Association of Home Builders

(NAHB)
