Title:	Crafting a new vision for high school: How states can join academic and technical studies to promote more powerful learning
Source:	http://www.sreb.org/publications/2008/08V07_Cra...
Date:	2008
Organization:	Southern Regional Education Board
Short Description:	This publication asserts that harnessing the applied teaching strategies of career/technical education (CTE) and infusing them into college-preparatory academics can transform our secondary schools into high performing centers of learning where students are both challenged and engaged.
Annotation:	This publication asserts that harnessing the applied teaching strategies of career/technical education (CTE) and infusing them into college-preparatory academics can transform our secondary schools into high performing centers of learning where students are both challenged and engaged. By pursuing this strategy, states can help many more students master both the academic content and the innovative thinking, problem-solving, communication and teamwork skills they will need for postsecondary studies and 21st-century careers.
