Welcome to 2014-15 school year! We are so excited that you are joining us on this exciting journey from a
good CTE program to a GREAT one! We know that because you chose to be on the bus with us this year that
we have to right people to do just that! This year we will be using two books to promote literacy in our CTE
classrooms both daily and weekly! The book we will use in our PLC groups this year is “Good to Great” by
Jim Collins. It details how great institutions made the leap from good to great. We will use these concepts to
consider how we can make that same leap in the classroom, in our CTSOs, in our schools, in our communi-
ties, and in our county. Great schools make great communities, and great communities make the Randolph
County School System GREAT! The next book we will use is “Good to Great Teaching: Focusing on Litera-
cy Work That Matters,” by Mary Howard. This book will provide strategies to support both our district and
CTE literacy goals. This summer, a district literacy framework was developed for all disciplines that aligns
nicely with the CTE Literacy goals we started last year and wrote into our LPS. Please be on the look-out for
