Welcome to the Mr. Lacivita's Automotive Technology Web Site
Thank you to everyone who
has visited my site over the years! I hope the materials I posted have been
beneficial and have helped increase student achievement on the PSSA,
Keystone and NOCTI exams.
Over the next several
months I will be revamping this web site. If there is something specific you

Integration
of academic competencies
To ensure all PA
Career and Technical Centers meet PDE 339 requirements, integrating academic
skills with technical competencies, is a required element of technical
instruction. Using the Temple University model of Integrating
Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening In-CTE (Career and Technical
Education) and the PA PDE Math Council Math T-Charts helps meet these
requirements. Both of these models have shown remarkable
improvement in students overall PSSA and program proficiency testing
scores, and should be an integral component of any CTE curriculum.

The data complied by Penn State and Temple University shows both programs to be very effective
in integrating the Pennsylvania academic standards and concepts with vocational
education.
More importantly, the reason these programs are successful
is because they are not "add-ons" to the current curriculum, but
rather are "add-ins"; enhancing program instruction and better fulfilling the needs of our
students, local employers and the community.
