PLANNING FOR DISCIPLINARY LITERACY IN THE CTE CLASSROOM Utilizing the CTE Literacy Framework The CTE literacy framework helps solve the challenges surrounding student understanding of Career and Technical Education courses by providing a scaffold and tools to do four things: ● Read and summarize an article.

● Thinking critically and answering questions. ● Reflect on and respond to what they see. ● Take a stand to support the evidence.

Engaging career and technical education literacy is the umbrella over all components of a CTE lesson. Dialogue, reading and writing all support the most important goal - student understanding in the specific CTE cluster area. The intent of the approach outlined below it to thoughtfully and strategically use literacy techniques to have students read more purposefully, write more meaningfully and engage in more productive dialogue, all in the service of a deeper understanding of science.

The CTE Literacy Framework Standard Addressed:

Define the standard or learning progression that you will be working on for students

What should students know and be able to do when they have completed this lesson:

Provide clarity for students by describing what they should be able to do by the end of the lesson in student friendly terms

Engaging CTE Experience:

Use Phenomena - Interact with Data - Hands-on Lab Activity - Inquiry Activity Describes the methods and procedures of engaging students in science. Be attentive to the intellectual tasks students will be doing. Purposeful Reading: Productive Dialogue:

Meaningful Writing: (Assessment)

Write Discussion frames for students to utilize that will help lead them to the most important concepts/information. Teach the 4 L’s of productive dialogue, and assign partners.

Determine what text students will be reading, and list the scaffolds you will utilize to support them. (DYAD read, Close read, annotation strategies, etc.)

Identify the writing that will be utilized, possibly complete the summary in a Cornell note, write a CER (Claim, Evidence, Reason) response, etc. Provide students with sentence frames and word
