Part III. Develop a Collaborative Teaching Model PTC Program Science Mathematics APS ONLINE Literacy

Part III. Develop a Collaborative Teaching Model Develop a collaborative teaching model for CTE programs that incorporates certified CTE teachers and highly qualified academic teachers. The collaborative teaching model is ongoing, active, and substantive participation of teaching professionals, working in proximity of the different content areas for the delivery of integrated, aligned instruction. PTC Program Science Mathematics APS ONLINE Literacy

Part III: Collaborative Teaching Model The collaborative teaching of CTE courses is based on: Involvement of at least one highly qualified teacher of the core academic subject and at least one certified CTE teacher. The course is based on the completion of a curriculum document showing the crosswalk between standards and specifying the assessment or assessments used to measure student proficiency. Scheduled meetings throughout the school year (PLC) of all teachers involved in collaborative teaching to discuss student progress. PTC Program Science Mathematics APS ONLINE Literacy

Part III: Collaborative Teaching Model The collaborative teaching of CTE courses is based on:(cont.) Completion of professional development activities involving both core academic subject and CTE subject areas. Completion of an annual review by collaborating teachers of student achievements and the development of suggestions for continuous improvement. A recommended part of the collaborative teaching process includes the completion of a year plan (scope and sequence) for instructional delivery involving both the core academic teacher(s) and the CTE teacher(s).
