A NEW YEAR BRINGS NEW PARTNERS
Delaware State Adds New Articulations for Digital Media Production
Faculty members in the Mass Communications Department at Delaware
State University have been impressed by the Delaware CTE students that
have enrolled in that program. The outstanding skill sets of the entering students spurred interest in pursuing articulation partnerships with
Delaware high school programs. To date, Tech Prep has coordinated site
visits at Sussex Tech, Polytech and Delcastle High Schools. The faculty
representatives were so impressed with those three programs that articulation agreements are now in place for students to be eligible to earn
9 college credits. Articulated courses include Television Production I,
Introduction to Media Technology, and Sound Production I. Additional
high school program visits are being planned.
These schools have already been approved and are participating for the
current 2014—2015 school year: Sussex Tech High School (above), Polytech
High School (right) and Delcastle High School (below).

College & Career
Readiness
The CATEMA® Corner
By Nick Buono
The goal for America’s education system is
clear. Every student should graduate from
high school ready for college and/or a
career. Every student should have meaningful
opportunities to choose from upon graduation
from high school. This belief is supported by
leaders and educators across the State of Delaware. At Tech Prep Delaware, we have been
fostering this philosophy for 29 years through
the facilitation of opportunities to earn college credits with postsecondary partners, as
well as advanced placement in apprenticeship programs through an agreement with the
State of Delaware Department of Labor.
As the new Assistant Director, I am excited to
be part of a team working with Dr. Lydia Tucker and Carmen Strollo in expanding those
opportunities for students. I invite you to
contact me by telephone at 302-739-6163,
or email at [email protected],

agreements, need assistance providing training to teachers, or would like support working with students as they register online in
