Integrating Academic and Technical Education for Advanced Technological Careers

目前正在修改两个现有模块，以便将国家科学教育标准与国家基于行业的生物科学技能标准结合起来。 正在修改高中生物课程中为解决学术标准而制定的一个单元，以纳入技能标准，反之亦然。 来自教育发展中心（EDC）、巴尔的摩市学校、生物科学行业和两年制学院的人员正在合作开发、测试和评估材料和适当的评估。这些材料的目的是使高中和两年制大学生既能达到高水平的学术掌握，又能为生物科学行业的先进技术职业做好准备。 教材的开发阐明了职业教育与学术教育相结合的问题。

Two existing modules are being modified to integrate the national science education standards with the national industry-based bioscience skill standards. A module from a high school biology curriculum developed to address academic standards is being modified to include skill standards and vice-versa. A partnership of personnel from the Education Development Center (EDC), Baltimore City Schools, bioscience industry, and two year colleges is developing, testing, and evaluating the materials and appropriate assessments. The purpose of the materials is to enable high school and two-year college students to achieve both high level academic mastery and preparation for advanced technological careers in the bioscience industry. The development of the materials elucidates the issues of combining career and academic education.
