Student Interviews



Male: With my class you use a lot of math and reading with using the code book because you have to make sure that everything is to code and you have to make sure that what you’re reading is actually what you are performing because some of those words are difficult to understand. Female: In my class we have to use a lot of English because of all of the observations that we take of the children. You have to know how to properly use commas and what to italicize, bold, and underline. It takes a lot more English that I thought there would be from when I first started. Carolyn: Wow, okay. You had to write in complete sentences? Female: Yeah.

Academics in CTE


Female: My first year we had these learning guides and one of our learning guides dealt with snacks because preschoolers love food. We had to have a full week, Monday thru Friday, as if it were a daycare from 9:00 to 3:00 and we had to figure out what snacks to give them, and the money, and I think that the amount we had was maybe close to $350.00, I think. We had to go through different magazines to figure out what the children would like and how much to buy. We had 12 children. We had to calculate the output and what was in the snack. Like if it was ten things. If it was a box of fruit snacks and there’s only ten in there, well how many are you supposed to get? You have 12 and you get two but what would you do with the rest? So it all came down to...like we had it for one month and it took a lot of work.


I’m in drafting and we have a house project and all of the drafting, then we had to interview the clients, like the faculty here and we would just design the house for them and make a 3-D model and all of the drawings and stuff then we had to present it in front of everyone, the class, and whoever else was presenting that day.

Raising expectations – students’ describe their challenging assignments


Male2: Yes. I think that the hardest project for me was when we had to do our menu planning because we had to go step by step to design a menu and find a name for a restaurant. Entree’s, desserts, drinks, everything that you would find on a real menu. We had to go in and cost out everything by recipes so there was a lot of math involved. We had to balance it out like people who can’t eat gluten or something or if they have allergies to certain foods and we had to put that on the menu. There’s just a lot of detailed work where every little bit of salt we had to price out. There was a lot of ethnicity and you had to incorporate that into it. It just takes a lot of time.


Female1: In the Health Assistant Lab we have a very large senior project we do where we have a huge presentation and we have to make models, posters, and all kinds of stuff for it. We also have to interview people. Carolyn: What type of models do you have to make? Female1: Three-D models on the disease process that we chose and you would make the body part and how it affects it. I was working on Lou Gehrig’s Disease so I did the nerve cells so I did a healthy one and a damaged one.

Establishing Classroom Rules

and ProceduresObjectives Create rules for your CTE

classroom. Develop a process for involving

students in developing or understanding classroom rules.


Minimize Classroom Disruptions with Rules and Procedures

Rules Procedures

General expectations for behavior◦ Respecting others◦ Respecting property◦ Following safety

guidelines◦ Having materials

Ways of completing tasks in the same way each time◦ Beginning and ending

class◦ Transitions between

What negative behaviors would be discouraged?

Examples of Classroom Rules

Guidelines for Developing and Using Rules

State rules positively. Use “Do…” rather than “Don’t…”

Short, clear statements. No more than five rules. Communicate rules to parents and

students. Refer to them frequently.
