The Career Technical Education classes at Columbia College have
recruited a cadre of academic faculty members from the mathematics,
English and computer science departments to make “house calls” to
the CTE classes. House Calls are customized and contextualized
lessons that can be tailored to meet the needs of most units of
study or projects within CTE courses. Faculty members are given
stipends from Perkins and/or basic skills funds. In this way
academics are more fully integrated into the CTE curriculum.
