  2. Purpose • With funding option pitfalls, our teaching positions may become obsolete as well. Student numbers dictate the funding advances and ultimately will keep our jobs safe. We need to determine the proper uses of marketing our CTE classroom’s in order to boost student numbers and force the program to “Thrive and Survive.”

  3. Literature Review • 91 Career-Technical Planning Districts that include city, local, exempted village and joint vocational school districts, are utilizing CTE as Ohio graduation requirements. • ODE Fact Sheet 2011 indicates the needed areas of CTE instruction, and the potential course offerings by percentage. • CTE courses have been adapted and now conform to the state standards. • Throughout the book “Growing up digital”, the topic of the teacher acting as a resource and consultant is consistently acknowledged. A CTE program should be utilized as the main source of Marketing, and using other areas such as social media, graphics and video would only benefit the advertisement capabilities.

  4. Plan of Action • Identify target audiences and student involvement. • Use classrooms where similar CTE offerings are associated and adapt marketing plans to be utilized throughout. • Implement Marketing steps to illustrate and inform the student body of potential offerings and classroom instruction. • Compare the results of non-marketed classrooms to utilizing the proper marketing steps. Results should indicate the need for different strategies and planning; which should indicate a substantial increase in number involvement.
