For Educators Education participants will learn strategies for developing
cross-curricular lessons and projects that embed standards in a personally
meaningful context, resulting in higher levels of learning. The model begins
with standards in separate subjects and incorporates cross-curricular
standards such as career development and SCANS. |
For Employers Increased learning abilities generate stronger and more productive employees, which in turn increase productivity. Employers understand that productivity is the engine that keeps business running and profits growing. But productivity depends on a steady supply of skilled and educated workers. This conference partnership provides the employer a chance to boost productivity by providing input to educators and increasing the skill level of Imperial County workers. |
