Welcome
Dear Conference Participant:
On behalf of the Michigan Department of Education, Office of Career and Technical
Education, and the Conference Planning Committee, welcome to the 2011 Michigan
Career Education Conference.
The conference theme, Career and Technical Education: Teaching and Learning for College and Careers,
reflects the important roles of career and technical education in preparing students to be college and career
ready. Early career preparation, including career exploration, career assessments, and comprehensive
guidance and counseling, provides opportunities for students to begin thinking about the world of work
and postsecondary education. Through rigorous academic and technical preparation, relevant learning
opportunities, and the supportive relationships of educators and families, students are better positioned to
take successful steps toward college and careers.
A warm welcome is extended to our featured speakers, ―Coach‖ Ken Carter, Eric Chester, and Corinne
Hoisington. We look forward to hearing their words of wisdom and the insights they will share with us.
Congratulations to the Excellence in Practice Award winners for their outstanding models of collaboration
and cooperation in the integration of academics and CTE instruction and the excellent partnerships with the
business community. These exemplary programs are ―best practices‖ examples for preparing our students for
careers that align and articulate with postsecondary education, professional and technical careers, and
future employment.
I hope that you have the opportunity to hear our keynote speakers. You will have a chance to learn about
innovative programs and successful partnerships which can result in improved outcomes and comprehensive
services. Please take advantage of the breakout sessions and exhibits. You will also be able to share ideas,
network, and learn from each other.
Best wishes for a rewarding professional development experience. Enjoy the conference!

February is CTE Month
The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) has designated
February 1-28, 2011 as Career and Technical Education Month: Learning
Today; Earning Tomorrow.
There are 15.6 million secondary and postsecondary career and technical
education students in the United States.
In Michigan, the Office of Career and Technical Education (OCTE), Michigan
Department of Education, has the responsibility for the major career education initiatives that affect
learners K-12 and beyond. Staff members are involved in curriculum development activities, grant
planning and management, and providing professional development for teachers and
administrators throughout the state.
Secondary career and technical education programs (CTE) are designed to provide high school
students with specific knowledge and skills leading to initial employment and additional education
through apprenticeships or a postsecondary institution. CTE programs integrate academic learning
with technical training in order to enhance and strengthen academic skills while preparing students
for careers.
Career and Technical Education courses provide students with opportunities for real world
learning and helps them to discover the connection between the academics required to graduate
and their plans for a future career. For the last 10 years, the high school completion rate for
students who complete CTE programs in Michigan has been above 97%.
The relevance of academics to future careers is especially important now with the expectation for
increased academic rigor within the Michigan Merit Curriculum. Students must have opportunities
to realize how the academic skills they must master apply to the world of work and how the world
of work has changed to require lifelong learning. Academic achievement success for CTE students
has been at 75%. These are students who may have dropped out if not enrolled in the courses that
match their learning style and teach knowledge and skills that make sense to them.
Consistently, over the last 10 years, 40% of Michigan 11th and 12th grade high school students
enroll in CTE courses. In addition, 40,000 9th and 10th grade students are enrolled in CTE and
40,000 students are enrolled in Family and Consumer Sciences programs. Approximately 35% of
those students are members of special populations, which includes students with disabilities,
limited English proficient students, students who are economically disadvantaged, and students
who have elected to enroll in a career program that is nontraditional for their gender.
Michigan students enroll in over 2,000 instructional programs, such as pre-engineering, automotive
technology, health care, and construction trades, that are offered in their local high schools or at
separate career center buildings. In addition, new and emerging programs continue to be
developed and the curriculum is continuously updated. CTE teachers maintain a continuous
relationship with Business and Industry Advisory Committees to ensure that their curriculum
meets the needs for a well-skilled workforce.
Every CTE program must provide leadership opportunities for their students. This is
accomplished through Career and Technical Education Student Organizations (CTSOs). Students
have the opportunity to participate in a group, work with business and industry, hold office, and
enter competitions at the regional, state, and national level. In 2008-2009, nearly 27,000
secondary students participated in 646 chartered chapters of CTSOs.
School districts in Michigan annually conduct a follow-up study of all CTE students who have
graduated from high school. CTE programs provide students with valuable skills to find beginning
employment as they continue on with their education or an apprenticeship.
Career and Technical Education educators realize the importance of continuing education for
students beyond high school and early college credit opportunities for students while in high
school. In fact, every high school CTE program of study must be aligned to a corresponding
associate degree program at a community college. Dual enrollment opportunities in CTE and
articulated credit help move students forward into postsecondary studies.
School districts act responsively to ensure that CTE programs continually meet the needs of
employers, as well as the needs to build a better economic future for Michigan. With the help of
advisory groups from business and industry, guidance from the Department of Energy, Labor and
Economic Growth, and initiatives of the Office of the Governor, teachers and administrators
constantly update the curriculum and expand program availability.
All high school CTE programs must be articulated with related postsecondary programs offered by
community colleges and other postsecondary institutions serving the area. Thus, the secondary
programs provide a ―seamless‖ transition to advanced levels of instruction. Through the
articulation process, hundreds of high school students earn college credit before graduation.
I urge all Michigan citizens to join us in celebrating Career and Technical Education Month and
the valuable opportunities CTE programs offer. In addition, I encourage all schools and
communities to support, promote, and participate in these programs which will benefit both
Michigan and the entire nation by preparing our students to be vital members of a strong, welleducated workforce.
Sincerely,
Office of Careeer and Technical Education

2011 Excellence in Practice Award Winners
Excellence in Practice: Academic Integration
Academic Integration/Academic Goal Teams
TBAISD Career-Tech Center, Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District
This award winning academic integration systemic initiative is an outstanding model of continual analysis,
alignment, assessment, and collaboration between academic and Career and Technical Education (CTE). The
initiative has engaged the collective efforts of 100% of TBAISD Career-Tech Center (TBAISD-CTC) staff
members – teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, and support staff. For more than 10 years, TBAISDCTC staff has analyzed and aligned their curricula to state academic standards and benchmarks, and, most
recently, the Michigan Content Expectations for English Language Arts, Algebra I and II, Geometry,
Chemistry, and Physics.
Since 2003, CTC has worked closely with its 21 local public school districts, parochial, and charter schools to
assure that CTC students are receiving instruction and gaining mastery in academic content expectations
consistent with their high-school counterparts not enrolled in CTE.
The outcome of this academic integration initiative has resulted in:
All 21 districts and schools recognizing and accepting CTC‘s recommendation for academic credit Over
a seven year period, the growth in academic credit contracts provided CTC students increased from 39 in
2004-2005 to 305 in 2010-2011
All 22 CTC programs having at least one academic instructor assigned to the program
All students in each of the programs are receiving academic instruction, aligned to the content
expectations that are a natural part of the career and technical education (CTE) curricula
CTC students being able to attend CTC and meet new high school graduation requirements
Student performance on the math COMPASS Test improved dramatically, resulting in fewer students
being placed in remedial courses in postsecondary

Tuesday Luncheon Speaker
When famed high school basketball coach Ken Carter literally locked his undefeated,
state play-off bound team out of the gym and forced them to hit the books and stop
counting on athletic potential as the only ticket out of a tough, inner city life, he sent a
powerful message. The film, Coach Carter, based on the lock-out and starring Samuel
L. Jackson as the Coach, is just one more testimony to the strength of his convictions.
At the podium, Coach Carter scores with hard-hitting advice about accountability,
integrity, teamwork, and leadership to succeed both on and off the basketball court.

SUCCESS INSURANCE: Developing Work Ethic in a World That Fights Against It
Preparing students for the transition from the classroom to the workforce is becoming increasingly challenging.
Employers in all sectors and industries bemoan the lack of work ethic of the emerging workforce, and blame the
educational system. But how can training professionals lead Generation Y to perform up to their potential when
research shows that work ethic hasn‘t been taught by parents and a formal training course isn‘t offered in the
curriculum? Clearly, Gen Y doesn‘t know how to work and they don‘t know what it is that employers expect from
them.
When you place ‗not ready for prime time players‘ in jobs they may have the skills for, but don‘t know how to keep,
it‘s only a matter of time before you see them once again standing in the unemployment lines. What if you could
insure their success for the long term, regardless of the job or career path they choose? Well, the good news is, now
you can.
Eric Chester is the leading authority on developing work ethic in teens and young adults and the employability of a
cohort he‘s branded ―Generation Why?‖ He‘ll show you why the work ethic in America is declining and how this is
impacting business and eroding our global advantage. He‘ll then provide you with solid, actionable ideas and tools for
developing the youth in your classroom and instilling the work ethic they should have received at home and
throughout their elementary and secondary school years—but didn‘t.

Character Counts
The presentation focuses on the use of Character Counts as a tool for classroom management. The six
pillars of character are foundational to establishing the professional work skills that will lead to success. By
teaching, enforcing, advocating, and modeling the six pillars, students learn to guide themselves through
difficult situations. The students focus their attention as much on behavior as they do any other measure of
success. Being a team player and leader who is trustworthy, respectful, responsible, fair, caring and a good
citizen, makes for not only a good student, but also a good employee, boss, and person.

―Coach‖ Ken Carter
Sponsored By:
Michigan ACTE
Average is Just Not Good Enough. PERIOD!
When famed high school basketball coach Ken Carter literally locked his undefeated, state play-off bound team out of
the gym and forced them to hit the books and stop counting on athletic potential as the only ticket out of a tough, inner
city life, he sent a powerful message. The film, ―Coach Carter‖, based on the lock-out and starring Samuel L. Jackson
as the Coach, is just one more testimony to the strength of his convictions. At the podium, Coach Carter scores with
hard-hitting advice about accountability, integrity, teamwork, and leadership to succeed both on and off the basketball
court.
In addition to coaching SlamBall‘s champion team, The Rumble, Ken Carter is owner/operator of Prime Time
Publishing, Prime Time Sports, and is an author. He is also founder and chairman of the Coach Ken Carter
Foundation, a non-profit organization which develops, promotes, and provides education, training, and mentoring
programs for minority youths. In 2002, he was selected to carry the Olympic torch for the San Francisco Bay Area/
Richmond California.
