In collaboration with the Department of Education Windward District Office, the Windward Academy for Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a skill-based learning program that encompasses progressive education topics designed to prepare students for college and careers. The Windward Academy will serve as a support structure for teachers, providing valuable resources and allowing teachers to collaborate with others within the district. With the guidance from educators, administrators, district support, and community and industry partners, the Academy looks to integrate career and technical education skills into core subjects to make the information more relevant and engaging for students. Teachers, administrators, experts, and industry professionals will have the opportunity to work together to enrich students’ lives by helping expand the program and focusing on relevancy.
