A Focus on Scientific Inquiry in CTE Through a Green Space

Abstract

Science education trends state that students and teachers should work to promote learning by making science relevant and meaningful. With a changing world, the way science is taught and learned needs to change too. There is an increasing push for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) awareness and the engineering design process. Integrated science education in Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a trend and area of teaching that is needed and looked at as a way to make science more relevant and meaningful. Teachers are expected to engage students in meaningful and purposeful instruction that provided students with inquiry based instruction. To assist CTE teachers with integrating science coaching, and working with a co-teacher can help mold students into thinking like scientist in their field of study.
