The document discusses contextualized teaching and learning. Key points include: - Teaching is team-taught, hands-on, and offers bilingual support. - Learning is based on careers and incorporates basic skills, engaging students and teachers. - Collaboration among faculty and flexibility in curriculum helps students learn more quickly for future jobs or education.

1.  AN EXAMPLE OF CONTEXTUALIZED TEACHING AND
LEARNING
◦ Team taught
◦ Hands-on
◦ Bilingual support

2. Students are prepared for the world/jobs more quickly
(accelerated learning).
Learning is based in context of career, with a hands-on
approach; basic skills are embedded.
Students feel more confident in their lives.
Teachers collaborate with flexibility.
Teachers and students are more engaged.

3.  Collaboration among faculty to understand material and teach
 Flexibility in curriculum development, adapting to student needs
 Content faculty can help basic skills classesby doing “demos”
 More cross disciplinary work ia better for faculty and for the institution.

4. We value
student work
experience,
and input.
Students
collaborate on
research
projects and
in-class peer
learning.

5. Because of the context, students are engaged. This increases the
speed of learning and frames their understanding.
For example:
Learning terminology they need for their careers…
Or the abbreviations they need to know to read a blueprint…
Or using algebra and other math concepts to set up a machine.

6.  Collaboration and team teaching
 Flexibility in curriculum development
 Professional development for faculty not
trained as teachers
 Community of support and services for
students
