SUMMARY:Literacy for CTE: Vocabulary Practices to Improve Reading for Student Success
DESCRIPTION:Research and experience show that implementing effective reading and vocabulary practices directly impacts student academic success. CTE students with strong reading and vocabulary skills are able to make connections to new content quicker\, perform better on certifications and assessments\, and engage more readily in professional communication in industry. This course is designed to equip teachers to use their program instructional terminology along with high-yield vocabulary practices to plan and teach in both the class and hands-on settings. Whereas Technical reading and performance-based literacy focus on reading\, writing\, listening\, and speaking standards\, this course takes a deeper look at using effective reading and vocabulary strategies. \nADE Credit Available: Yes – 1 Semester Hour (SH) Credit\, Satisfies Professional Knowledge (PK) deficiencies \nCourse Length: 1 day + homework \nDate: March 19\, 2024 \nTime:  8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. \nLocation: \nPima JTED @ Master Pieces\nBuilding 1 – PD Classroom\n2855 W Master Pieces Drive\nTucson\, Arizona 85741 \nLink: https://infohub.pimajted.org/login?&page=%2Fmain%2F \nIf you do not have a Pima JTED account\, please contact Mary Andrade at mandrade@pimajted.org or (520) 256-4169.
