CTE as a Literacy Bridge: Integrating Career and Technical Education to Support Language Acquisition and Academic Success

Monday August 3, 2026 4:00pm - 4:45pm PDT

Meeting Room # 1

This session explores how Career and Technical Education serves as a powerful wraparound service for literacy and language acquisition, particularly for multilingual learners, struggling readers, and students requiring inclusive support. Participants will examine authentic CTE frameworks that embed reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills within hands-on technical contexts, making academic content more accessible and relevant. The presentation demonstrates how project-based CTE instruction naturally scaffolds language development while building career readiness, creating multiple pathways for students to demonstrate competency and gain confidence in their academic abilities.
