"This award is given to schools with the highest percentage of career/technical students earning the Award of Educational Achievement based on their performance on the 2006 HSTW Assessment in their state," Bell said.

"Schools and technology centers develop local site goals with action steps for improvement," Bell said."For example, a ,pass rate' for reading at the end of the course or program may need to be established.If students don't pass, they may be required to attend a 2-6 week summer reading program for literacy.

"While technology centers are probably doing much of this already, TCTW principles will help them focus, look at data and identify specific local issues," Bell said.
