Curriculum You Can Use
February is CTE Month and we’re excited to bring you an integrated project! Over the next four weeks, students will learn how to create awareness for their career academy by: building a marketing plan, creating a presentation, producing photo or video tours, and sharing relevant links to policy and industry. 

For this week, students will select the audience they will target with their marketing plan.

Project Preview for weeks 2-4:
  • Week 2: Virtual Brochure – Use a graphic design program to create a virtual brochure to market and increase awareness of your NAF academy.  
  • Week 3: Virtual Road Map – Students create a virtual roadmap of their academy courses, the post-secondary pathways, and the connection to their future careers. 
  • Week 4: Virtual Presentation – Complete the marketing plan and present to the class.
