Southeast Missouri Regional Tech Prep Internship

The Concept

• Our proposal centers on bringing in academic
  teachers to a vocational school for a one week
  internship rather than employment in business and
  industry. The academic teachers would choose two
  of four vocational programs and spend two days of
  intense hands-on activities within the programs.
  The fifth day of the program would be an overview
  of vocational programs and the development of
  lesson plans that integrate academic and
  vocational objectives. We feel this would
  develop the cooperation between academic teachers
  and vocational teachers, allow for the
  development of integrated lessons, and increase
  the number of participants in the Internship
  program.

The Program would

• Allow 50 to 60 academic teachers to have hands-on
  experience in one to four vocational programs and
  develop a better understanding of what CTE is all
  about
• Allow the development of 100 to 120 lesson plans
  that have all the appropriate components and that
  integrate academic and CTE curriculum
• Develop a great lesson plan resource bank that
  could be accessed by teachers throughout the state

10
Participants

• The Southeast Missouri Tech Prep Consortium
• Mineral Area College
• North County Unitec
• Perryville CareerTech
• Arcadia Valley CareerTech
• Cape Girardeau Career Center

CTE Academic Integration

• Participants are required to incorporate the CTE
  experiences into your existing lesson plans. The
  idea is to not create all new lesson plans, but
  to incorporate the CTE activities into three of
  your current lessons.
