Nothing is more important to the future than making sure students get a quality, well-rounded education. C-TEC focuses on workforce development for high school students. We teach the skills business and industry require, which includes high levels of language, communication, math, and science. Those skill standards are becoming ever more important in order to prepare a workforce that will encounter technology changes at a rapid pace. This is why Ohio’s schools are changing – and why teachers, community and business leaders have created new, rigorous academic standards for students. Ohio’s new standards define what students should know and be able to do in each grade level. The standards let educators know what they are expected to teach, just as they let students know what they are expected to learn. To determine the courses to be taken at C-TEC, each student develops a plan based on credits already earned, the requirements of the career-technical program, the requirements for graduation from high school, and the requirements for admission into a postsecondary program. Parents and affiliated school staff are involved in this process. C-TEC provides a rigorous academic core to compliment our career preparation programs. The courses are aligned with Ohio’s academic content standards.
