 * ** Michigan Academic Consultant Conference ** ||

 Time: 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM **Date **: June 1, 2012
 * Workshop Description: How do we better prepare students technically and academically for success in their postsecondary education, careers, schools, and CTE programs? We are coming together at this conference to share methods already in use, that have proven successful in boosting the rigor and relevance of CTE curricula through the integration of academic and CTE courses. These integration efforts can be state-driven mandates or changes at the local level, such as individual teachers working together. They can include crosswalks of academic skills with CTE courses, fully integrated CTE/academic curricula, and team teaching and CTE courses counting for academic credits. **
