A recent CNN education news feature referenced a new model for vocational education. The article may be read in its entirety at http://www.cnn.com/2007/EDUCATION/03/07/cec.career.tech/index.html.
The study group's findings resulted in a new concept for high school education, realized in the opening of CEC in August of 2000.
"CEC is a joint venture among businesses, the Coweta County School System and West Central Technical College," explains Whitlock.
With CEC designed and operated on a business model, Whitlock is known as the CEO rather than the principal. CEC teachers are referred to as directors, and students are called team members.
Coweta high school students can spend part of their high school career at CEC, taking courses such as welding, graphic communications, electronics, computer networking and health occupations.
But unlike traditional vocational education programs, CEC integrates higher academic standards with higher levels of technical and career proficiency.
"The difference here," explains Whitlock, "is that we have high school age students taking classes with college curriculum, college instructors and college clinical rotations."
Students who dual-enroll with West Central Technical College can earn college credit and even receive credit toward significant portions of an associate's degree prior to high school graduation.
Another major difference between CEC and previous vocational programs is the emphasis on work-based learning.
Partnerships with nearly 200 local businesses provide CEC students with real-world experiences such as unpaid internships, job shadowing and apprenticeships.
VistaCare, one of the nation's leading hospice providers, is a CEC business partner. CEC students seeking certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant may shadow VistaCare's hospice registered nurses.
"The fact that we have the opportunity to get to know these potential employees before we hire them helps us to reduce employee turnover and helps to increase our patient satisfaction scores," said Vicki Kaiser, director of professional relations for VistaCare. "We are truly growing our own future workforce."
Jeannie Davis, an area manager for ResourceMFG, a company that specializes in placing skilled and semi-skilled workers in the manufacturing industry, stresses the charter school's emphasis on work ethic as a reason for the success of its students.
"Our customers complain that they have huge attendance and performance issues," says Davis. "At CEC, students receive a work ethic grade (in addition to a course grade) -- they are evaluated on attendance, ability to get along with others, how they work in a team and their willingness to participate."
CEC meets the needs of the local economy while also meeting the needs of its students.
