SHARRELL HOWARD - MEDIA

Our current educational programs are in need of a few upgrades. There is a lack of diversity of knowledge educators have in reference to how their curriculums are intertwined into many different careers, the lack of career relevancy in many of the core classes and some of the CTE classes, the lack of industry presence in core classes, and some CTE classes, and the fact that industry professionals are not aware of our student's ability. 

This book is a guide to help educators and professionals design innovative ways to work together to enhance the classroom experience. This book brings career relevancy into all courses via enhanced classrooms and cross-curricular project-based learning experiences. Encouraging industry professionals to take an active role in the classroom will enhance the content in courses from an industry perspective, encourage industries to support schools financially through sponsorships, and allow industry partners to see student’s capability in order to lay the groundwork for future internships.
