Career & Technical Education
Students enrolled in state-approved secondary career and technical education (CTE) programs have an opportunity to acquire skills that prepare them for successful career entry, advancement, and/or continuing education. Instruction is competency-based and credential driven. Each secondary state-approved program is required to integrate four key components:
Classroom Instruction: Integration of academic and technical skills to support core knowledge needs. Focused instruction, reinforcement, and additional depth on academic concepts that support technical skills.
Laboratory Learning: Hands-on learning to develop technical skills. Simulation labs, projectbased learning and student skill demonstration.
Work-Based Learning: Work-based learning opportunities to further develop and apply skills. Sustained interactions with employers in real workplace settings that foster first-hand engagement with tasks required of specific careers.
Student Leadership: Student leadership opportunities to support employability and Career Ready Practices. Intra-curricular activities that prepare students to become effective leaders; for example, participation in Career and Technical Student Organization’s (CTSOs).
