STEM ANALYSIS
Texas CareerPortals
Traditional Career & Technology Education (CTE) programs from Pitsco Education offer a considerable amount of math and science content to students enrolled in the program. But today more than ever, Texas educators are looking for innovative ways to increase student exposure to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), while addressing TEKS standards in math and science, as well as increase student exposure to critical Texas Career Portals. This STEM upgrade analysis demonstrates how curriculum directors and administrators can significantly increase the math and science content to underpin core courses in both subjects while offering students a rigorous, hands-on CTE program. Moreover, a CTE-STEM program from Pitsco Education provides students the ability to build and improve 21st-century skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, and problem solving.
