The Vision
of Career and Technical Education in the Auburn School District
Career
and technical education is an essential element of the comprehensive
public education system, and is accessible by all students regardless
of their ability, ethnicity, disability, cultural background,
gender, or economic status.
The
vision of career and technical education in the Auburn School
District is to incorporate a wide variety of programs designed
to help students explore career pathways, prepare them for the
world of work, and launch further post-secondary educational
opportunities. Career and technical education equips students
with skills in applied academics, appropriate work ethics, interpersonal
relationship skills, leadership skills, and technical skills
in given occupational areas.
The
level of expectation for students of career and technical programs
is high. Many of our high school career and technical courses
are Tech Prep articulated with post secondary institutions,
granting students college credit for successful completion of
high school career and technical programs. Most importantly,
our programs will continue to be critical partners in the education
reform effort of the State of Washington. Relevant and rigorous
application of the academic skills identified in goals one and
two of the HB 1209 are incorporated into our curriculums.
Career
and technical education provides students with opportunity,
options, challenge, and the leadership skills necessary for
a successful start toward their future.
