MASTER Program
Computer Labs
Microsoft IT Academy
Microsoft Certification Curriculum

MASTER (Math Science and technology Education Resources) Program - Students cannot achieve high levels of performance without access to skilled professional teachers, adequate classroom time, a rich array of learning materials, accommodating work spaces, and the resources of the communities surrounding their schools. The goal of the MASTER program is an increase in the number of immigrant work-age youth who receive their high school diploma, citizenship status, and long-term employment skills through intensive educational and technological training.

There are three areas of the MASTER Program:
1. TEACHER/STAFF TRAINING--Training for teaching staff in Microsoft Certification curriculum through New Horizons. The certification of our teachers allows them to teach Microsoft Certification courses, thus offering our students the opportunity to become certified in various Microsoft applications (MS Office, Web Development and Design, etc). Upon completion of the training, students will be able to proceed to MS certification.

2. CENTRAL SERVER TECHNOLOGY--Modern central server technology allows students at all CTC campuses to access their class work and projects, with all software and programs located on one central server. This facilitates collaboration and information sharing.

3. MOBILE MATH AND SCIENCE CLASSROOM LABORATORIES--Apple wireless mobile labs offer CTC a complete, easily accessible solution that is a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional computer labs. Because the mobile labs are portable and feature wireless networking, they can immediately turn any classroom into a computer lab and provide every student with access to the latest technology. As a result, more students can experience the wealth of benefits that project-based learning has to offer.

Computer Labs - The computer labs have been designed in a manner that prepares students to format, design text, and apply keyboarding skills to what is required in the regularclassrooms. The purpose of this is to provide the students the skills that are required in all classrooms from high school to college, and ultimately the workplace.

Microsoft IT Academy - CTC is privileged to be a Microsoft IT Academy partner. This affiliation provides our school and students with state-of-the-art curriculum, training opportunities, and updates on crucial information regarding technology and technology security. Our partnership with Microsoft allows our students to combine real-life, work-related skills along with theirlearning, making them better prepared for the future and the work place.

In coordination with state standards for technology, we make use of Microsoft Official Academic Curriculum with Microsoft Office application programs (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, etc.).

Microsoft Certification Curriculum - CTC provides all levels of our students access to Microsoft training and curriculum. From pre-English to competent Level 5 English speakers, our students participate in courses directed toward earning Microsoft certification. Students are immersed in Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more.
