Trade Tech High is a prototype for career technical education across the United States. "No longer will students have to choose between 'college prep' or 'career prep' as Trade Tech provides the opportunity to earn college credit, participate in work-based internships, and begin an accelerated apprenticeship program."

It is all about student and teacher motivation and that should be at the core of any learning opportunity.
The Education Track this year is a chance to hear from individuals who have been involved in these discussions across the country and can help our state start the conversation now.
After learning about some of the different schools and schooling that is occuring right now in other states, do you believe that creating an opportunity in WV for these types of schools to emerge is a fight worth fighting?
That will be the topic of my last post before the conference, the connection between this conversation and creative communities.
