Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Career and Technical Education Advanced Curriculum Design takes a critical look at the current theories and practices, suggesting a more pragmatic and practical approach to developing advanced curriculum, through the use of competency-based needs assessment, testing, instruction, and data analysis. The text is a detailed resource that can be used by educators at all levels of secondary education, including high school, college/university, and industry trainers. Boldly opinionated, the author uses personal observations and research to highlight what is missing at the classroom level. The last chapter switches gears and looks at programs that are already in place and how they can be made better. The additional materials in the Appendices help the practitioners get a head start on the implementation of the model.
