Why you'll love our CTE Program:
Active Learning
Our active learning program is composed of creative hands-on tasks and interactive virtual software that work together flawlessly to create exciting lessons and environments where students can actively engage in their own learning.
Continually Updated
Our team of curriculum creators are continually adding new content to the program. Look out for these new features each time you log on. Your feedback is important to us and drives us to continually improve the content you receive, and the way in which you receive it.
Written with Teachers in Mind
Our content creators have all been involved in the teaching profession at some stage in their careers and they know exactly what teachers need – instructional content that is easy to implement in the classroom.
Support, Support… Support!
At the heart of our learning content is a fully integrated support system. Every lesson includes easy access to academic and technical subject support. Teachers - If something goes wrong or you can’t find the answer online, we are only a phone call away.
CTE Curriculum
Over 500 hours of engaging content!
Our comprehensive CTE library contains over 500 hours of lessons, which are available any time, anywhere online.
The way content is delivered is INCREDIBLY flexible:
These courses are custom-made to meet specific requirements, such as ITEEA, NGSS and CCSS. They provide a comprehensive set of lessons for a complete program of study and are supplemented with a range of support materials for English and Math.
This huge collection of Middle and High School resources is called our Exploring STEM Library...with this library you can have access to EVERY SINGLE piece of learning content for Middle and High School that we have ever published! This resource is ideal for teachers to search and make their own courses.
Some of our pre-prepared hardware kits come with a set of lesson content as standard to help you get the most out of our hands-on lessons.
Our Research and Design Teaching Set, for example, includes access (via DVD and online) to comprehensive practical tasks that use the kit to teach the principles of propulsion, momentum and much more!
Our Lessons - in detail!
Presentations
