The Carl D. Perkins Career Technical Improvement Act of |
|
2006 encourages integration of academic instruction to |
|
improve student learning, impact employment skills of |
|
students, and enhance problem-solving skills by using |
|
authentic real-world situations. Academic integration is |
|
accomplished by integrating concepts of English, math, |
|
science, technology, etc., into career and technical |
|
education (CTE) course content, or by two teachers from |
|
different content areas collaborating to align and team- |
|
teach course standards. This article describes a project |
|
that provided an opportunity for educators in Greenhouse |
|
Management, Nutrition and Foods, and Family and Consumer |
|
Sciences (FACS) to align course standards and curriculum |
|
while collaborating on plans to address the problem of |
|
obesity in the local school and community. With the help |
|
of a hydroponic garden, university researchers |
|
collaborated with CTE teachers and students attending a |
|
rural, southern high school to highlight obesity, |
|
cultivate an appreciation for fruits and vegetables, and |
|
align the project with curriculum standards. |
