The Three “C’s”

At Miami Norland Senior High School, in addition to the basic skills of literacy and numeracy, every learner must master the "three C's" …Communication, Collaboration, and Creative Problem Solving.

Beyond these are the equally important skills of knowing how to use numbers and data in real-world tasks, the ability to locate and process information relevant to the task at hand, technological fluency, and, most of all, the skills and attitudes needed to be a lifelong learner.

#nafnext

Goals of MNSH CTE To increase the academic and career options of students by

providing an enriched education that includes a rigorous academic and technical course of study.

To help students develop technical skills that meet industry standards.

To provide students with hands-on learning to promote student success.

To provide students with the ability to make connections between classroom instruction by applying knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems.

#nafnext

MNSH CTE Mission

Promote CTE.

CTE is not a “dumping ground”.

Work with students on career goals as soon as they start high school.

#nafnext

Career and Technical Education at MNSH not only gives our students technical industry driven skills, but it also gives our students time to strengthen their applied skills.
