5 Section 12: Preparing WBL Students for Life After Graduation
The primary purpose of career and technical education (CTE) is to prepare students for life beyond high school by helping them develop the academic, technical, and employability skills needed to pursue their chosen career. Participating in a work-based learning (WBL) experience is a major milestone on a CTE student’s career pathway. This section describes the WBL instructor’s critical role in preparing students for the transition from high school to the next phase of their life journey. It includes the definition of “college and career readiness,” a description of post-secondary opportunities for students, and a list of recommended WBL activities for students.
8 Chapter 5: Introduction to Trigonometry and Graphs
In this chapter, we will explore angle measures and the trigonometric ratios, including graphing and inverses.
5 Chapter 7: Sequences and Series
In this chapter, we introduce sequences and series, some of their applications, and the Binomial Theorem.
3 Chapter 4: Systems of Equations
In this chapter, we will explore the methods used to solve systems of equations, and real-world situations involving systems of equations.
6 Chapter 2: Polynomial and Rational Functions
In this chapter, we will explore beyond linear functions and learn about polynomial and rational functions.
6 Chapter 4: Representing Quantitative Data
In this chapter, we explore different ways to display quantitative data, and draw conclusions based on the representations.
7 Chapter 11: Exploring Bivariate Data
In this chapter, students explore the relationship between two quantitative variables. Students will analyze scatterplots for strength, direction, and form; interpret the correlation coefficient; determine the line of best fit using least-squares regression; use the line of best fit to make predictions for a value of y given a value of x; interpret the slope and the y-intercept; learn about alternative methods of finding the line of best fit, including the median-median line and the absolute value line; and identify outliers and influential points and their effects on the regression line and correlation coefficient.
