Career-Technical Education
The academy program at Dorothy M. Wallace COPE Center allows for smaller learning communities within a school that draw on the interests that students have in learning about the world or work. Learning within an academy will also motivate students to take their core courses more seriously.
The academy needs to be connected to interested employers in the community who will provide the support needed: advisory board members, speakers, field trip hosts, mentors, and internships. And it needs to be an industry that is healthy and growing, so there will be jobs when academy graduates are ready for them.
