15. 15 SB 52 Career Technical Education
Commission agenda item was presented at the November meeting
One of the recommendations references a new CTE/EL standard
16. 16 SB 52 Recommendation 5. Require training for all CTE teachers in how to teach English learners.
Rationale: All teachers of English learner students must have appropriate English learner training (EC 44001, 44253.1, 448300(a)). Teaching English learners was addressed minimally in the current Career Technical Education program standards under the topic of “special populations.” However, this type of teacher preparation should be increased and improved by updating the manner in which it is defined in the program and encouraging programs to integrate it throughout CTE teacher preparation. The revised program standards would address the knowledge and skills a teacher must have to work with English learners.
17. 17 Enhanced Intern Programs Increase intern allocation to $3500 per intern IF
Provide pre-service of 120 hours or more with at least 40 hours focused on teaching ELs
