Here they are...12 Exciting, Practical, and Effective Career and Technology Education Workbooks

This instructional program is the result of over 6 years of work by elementary teachers in southern Maryland. This effort was led by Ms. Kim Weaver from Benjamin Banneker Elementary School. This initiative has produced a most creative and useful collection of Career and Technology Education activities that are directly correlated to the Maryland State Assessment Program. The project was funded by a ‘Career Connections’ grant.

The program consists of 12 unique and comprehensive units that were developed using the most current educational research and thinking. Included during development was information and direction regarding:

• Blended Instruction
• MSPAP Correlation
• Dimensions of Learning
• Constructivism
• Applied Learning
• Multiple Intelligences
• Career Connections
• Technology Education outcomes/content

A review of these units will reveal the scope of development and refinement provided by Ms. Weaver’s team. The collections offers two units for each grade k-5. Each document contains the following sections:
 

• Core Technologies
• Classroom Store
• Engineering Portfolio
• Resource Booklet
• Reading, Writing and Language
• Mathematics
• Science
• Social Studies
• Careers
• Bulletin Boards / Centers
• Teachers Notes

Every attempt was made to address as many Maryland state outcomes as possible with each unit. For more information about this program, contact Mr. Ken Smith, CTE Supervisor or Ms. Kim Weaver at Benjamin Banneker Elementary School.
