The development of an intelligent prototype system that connects the foundation standards that all students need to master to be successful in the career technical education curriculum to labor market skills can be very useful to teachers and to students. This prototype will relate the eleven California Department of Education CTE Foundation Standards with the Department of Labor Occupation Information Network. If both academic and labor market skills requirements were connected and available in a single environment, teachers could create curriculum, design projects and develop multimodal assessments that relate to the skills outlined in the Standards, as well as skills identified by the Department of Labor including occupational entry level, tools, technology, work activities, work context, and job zone among others. This templates made by the smart system will produce reports that unite labor market demands and educational standards. It is a difficult concept to explain on paper, but the prototype will allow teachers and students to develop a project, then go to the computer and input the description of the project in a prescribed format, and then the Digital Crosswalk will identify the CTE standards and the DOL competencies that the project meets, and where these overlap. Teachers can then adjust projects, if needed to address more of the desired CTE Standards or more industry (DOL) standards. It is important to remember that this is only a prototype. The entire complexity requires a very robust programming that could integrate larger variables and automated systems. This prototype will at least create the visual environment for an educator to connect real workforce information with education. |
