| Trade and
Industrial Education helps prepare students
for an increasingly demanding high skilled workplace in
the United States. To meet the needs of the
technologically changing workplace, the state curriculum
has recently been aligned with industry standards, and
teachers are often offered professional development
opportunities to upgrade their skills to the levels
required for instruction according to industry
standards.
Trade and Industrial Education:
-
Combines theory with application to develop
technical skills, occupational judgments, and
workplace ethics. The courses are closely aligned
with those of postsecondary institutions in
Tennessee, allowing students to make easier
transitions to those state schools.
-
Offers high quality educational experiences to
promote teamwork, leadership, high work standards,
and help develop a value for lifelong learning.
