ABSTRACTThis publication is a tool to help educators weave academic
content standards, assessments, and school-to-career methods into anintegrated and comprehensive educational strategy that prepares all studentsto meet their future goals. Examples included in the publication were createdby Colorado educators to provide a vision of how teachers can deliverinstruction in ways that help students reach high academic standards, developeffective work habits, and gain career knowledge. The handbook includes foursections: (1) "Workplace Competencies," which presents the Colorado GeneralWorkplace Competencies; (2) "Opportunities for Success," which offersguidelines for educators as they help special populations of students withdiverse needs meet academic content standards and participate inschool-to-career opportunities; (3) "Integration Matrices and ClassroomActivities," which features grids with examples of how the Colorado GeneralWorkplace Competencies cross-reference with the Colorado Model ContentStandards for reading and writing; and (4) "Sample Rubric," which explainsthat a rubric is a descriptive measurement for defining what a student knowsand can do and provides a sample rubric.
