which means students can enroll in 12 to 18
credits per semester for one rate. Tuition and
fees for full-time students includes the use of a
ThinkPad notebook computer.
Out-of-state students may qualify for the
National Academic Award, which knocks off 3,300

Career and Technical Educations expanding role
in Michigans High School Redesign.Office of
CTE, CTE Showcase April 2008, Volume I Issue
Iwww.michigan.gov/octp

• Career and Technical Education is an essential
  component in Michigans transformation from a
  manufacturing based economy to one that is
  technologically centered.
• Lynne Listeman, Editor, CTE Showcase
• _________________________________
• In the flurry and worry of implementing
  graduation requirements and changes to academic
  curriculum, some educators, administrators,
  school boards, and individuals may overlook the
  value of CTE programs
• as an option and strategy for delivering
  instructional services. In times of tight
  budgets and increased academic requirements, some
  communities may have the incorrect notion that
  our programs are too expensive as they are just
  electives, not core curriculum and, therefore,
  expendable.
• I dont doubt there will be disappointing choices
  made in some programs across the state. However,
  you
• should feel confident that we are building
  rigorous and high quality CTE programs and, where
  we are able, we will demonstrate how we assist
  students with the Michigan Merit Curriculum and
  in meeting high school graduation requirements.
• Career and Technical Education has a place within
  high school education in Michigan. We are not
  the most important, nor are we the least
  important. We are in a beautiful spot, one where
  we are able to attract students into a meaningful
  course of study. This can help keep them in
  school and launch their post high school goals.
  Our mission is to prepare students with the
  necessary academic, technical, and work behavior
  skills to enter, compete, and advance in their
  education and their careers.
• Patty Cantú, Director, Office of Career and
  Technical Education
