We are thrilled to announce yet another website launch! The new UCCI website (what you could call our “sister site”) will launch at the end of January! We’ve worked hard to make it easier for you to:

• Preview (and get inspired by) 76 courses approved in all A-G subject areas that integrate academics with CTE
• Learn how to add UCCI courses to your A-G course list
• Connect with other teachers currently teaching integrated courses
• Access resources for writing your own CTE courses for A-G approval in any subject area
• Download the comprehensive UCCI Toolkit that includes everything you need to lead your own training!

We’ll include a link to the new website right here as soon as the new website is live! Stay tuned!
