This week I had the opportunity to be part of Montana’s Association of Career and Technical Education (MACTE) annual conference. While there I attended sessions on what today’s students need, using Career Clusters to improve students’ success, and integration of core academics. I was able to talk to several FCCLA advisers during the FACS division meetings to get their take on developments in education.

The FACS teachers in Montana, like all FACS and other CTE teachers, have a lot on their plate. Introducing Career Clusters to students isn’t an easy transition, but as we look to the future more and more students will need the early training they will receive from CTE programs.
FCCLA can be integrated alongside new and old curriculum to enhance students’ success.

As your state discusses curriculum guidelines, pathway requirements and course articulation, keep in mind that FCCLA programs and projects will help achieve your goals.
