Incorporate academic rigor in CTE. Bring real-world relevance to Math (Align with Common Core Mathematical Practices). Increase employ-ability skills of students.
Research has repeatedly shown that too many students graduate from even our most elite universities with little or no conceptual understanding of the science and math they have spent four years studying. They have learned the facts, but do not understand the ideas behind them.
