Communication Instructional Card

This scenario-based instructional activity card, from the ATE 2.0: Preparing Technicians for the Future of Work project, was created to support the implementation of the Cross-Disciplinary STEM CORE Framework. This framework has the following three skill areas: Data Knowledge and Analysis, Advanced Digital Literacy, and Business Knowledge and Processes. Instructional activity cards were created for each skill area. These instructional cards can be used as micro-lessons to introduce new technology skills into the classroom.

This Communications card is part of the Business Knowledge and Processes skill area. The card first explains what communication is and how it is related to business knowledge and processes, and then provides vocabulary terms, explains how technicians will use communications, skills needed for a high-paying career, and future trends. The second page list competencies and cross-disciplinary skills, and provides two scenarios. The last page includes the activity, which "asks students to explore how technicians use process writing."

The Cross-Disciplinary STEM Core Framework and other activity cards are available to view separately.
