Integrating Academics and CTE—Research Findings
CTE Teacher Preparation Project
Finding Source
Students using the National Research Center for CTE’s Math-in-CTE model, which uses highly integrated CTE and academic teaching methods and courses, scored significantly higher on two national math assessments than students using traditional teaching methods.
National Research Center for CTE, 2006
Students who complete a rigorous academic core coupled with a career concentration have test scores that equal or exceed “college prep” students. These dual-concentrators are more likely to pursue postsecondary education, have a higher grade point average in college and are less likely to drop out in the first year.
SREB, 2009
Integrating Academics and CTE—Research Findings
CTE Teacher Preparation Project
Finding Source
CTE students were significantly more likely than their non-CTE counterparts to report that they had developed problem-solving, project completion, research, math, college application, work-related, communication, time management and critical thinking skills during high school.
National Research Center for CTE, 2007
Students in programs that blend basic skills and occupational training to generate more contextualized learning are far more likely to improve basic skills and earn college-level credits.
Community College Research Center at Columbia University’s Teachers College, 2009

Integrating Academics and CTE—Research Findings

Finding Source
A ratio of one CTE class for every two academic classes minimizes the risk of students dropping out of high school.

In a 2009 report for the Gates Foundation, 81% of respondents said that more learning opportunities which make the classroom relevant to the real world would have helped them to finish high school.
