Analysis contrasted responses of students at comprehensive high schools with those enrolled in a vocational high school program. Though vocational high school students' reasons for taking CTE courses were more positive, poor alignment between CTE class and stated career objectives characterized both groups of students.

This study takes advantage of this so-called 'natural experiment' to compare high school academic outcomes for lottery applicants who were admitted with those for students who did not receive an acceptance. Results find that CTE students had significantly better outcomes in terms of graduation rates, credit accumulation, and the successful completion of the college preparatory mathematics sequence algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry. Results for other outcomes such as the completion of science and foreign language course sequences, overall grade point average, and mathematics and reading comprehension achievement, were inconsistent across cohorts and statistical tests, neither favoring nor against students accepted to CTE schools.","PeriodicalId":356207,"journal":{"name":"Career and Technical Education Research","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123309543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are being implemented across most of the country. The standards require a major shift in instruction and the needed supports really are not there. This study investigated the common barriers, challenges, practical strategies, and supporting examples of what teachers were doing to integrate the CCSS into career and technical education curricula. A survey research design investigated 44 career and technical teachers' experiences with the CCSS. Findings for this study raise further questions with regard to understanding and implementation of the CCSS into the K-12 curriculum. These are, (a) what kind of formative assessment practices can help teachers align and measure their implementation of the CCSS into their teaching? and (b) how does the implementation of the CCSS into the curriculum increase student achievement?","PeriodicalId":356207,"journal":{"name":"Career and Technical Education Research","volume":"96 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127995401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
