Tech Prep Newsletter, 1994.
Everett, Jim, Ed.
Tech Prep Newsletter, v1-8 1994
This document consists of the 36 issues of a newsletter issued during 1994. Each issue is devoted to a specific topic pertinent to Tech Prep. Tech Prep is a federally funded effort, including mathematics, sciences, and language arts, that aims to prepare students for a lifetime of learning and career advancement. The Northwest Tech Prep Consortium exists to provide resources for participating schools to implement a Tech Prep program that will be implemented in grades 11 and 12 and the first 2 years of college with a common core curriculum that will lead to an associate degree or certificate in a specific career field. The newsletters are grouped into eight series. The six newsletters of the first series concentrate on the concepts and definitions of Tech Prep and how to start a Tech Prep program. The second series of five newsletters focuses on applied courses, and the four newsletters of the third series concentrate on preparation for business, health, and technical programs and careers, in general. The fourth series devotes eight newsletters to articulation of Tech Prep programs and the coordination essential between high school and college components. Series 5 contains 2 newsletters dealing with working with business. The sixth series provides three newsletters with examples of projects in Missouri and the country as a whole. The seventh set (six newsletters) deals with administrative concerns, and the eighth series contains two newsletters dealing with guidance and Tech Prep in the schools and a discussion of classroom practice.
