    2. California CTE Frameworks Defines CTE as Organized educational activities that provide coherent, rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare for further education and careers in current or emerging professions. CTE provides technical skill proficiency, a industry-recognized credential, a certificate, or a degree and includes competency-based applied learning that contributes students’ academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning and problem-solving skills, attitudes toward work, general employability skills, technical skills, occupation-specific skills, and knowledge of all aspects of an industry including entrepreneurship.

    3. Coherent and Rigorous Content Utilizes the CTE Framework for California Public Schools Follows the California Career Technical Education Model Curriculum Standards Aligned to the 15 Industry Sectors and 58 Pathways

    4. Aligned with Challenging Academic Standards Mathematics Science History/Social Science Visual and Performing Arts English Language Arts (Reading, Writing, etc.)

    5. Relevant Technical Knowledge and Skills Needed Validated by industry advisors currently working in industry

    6. Prepare for Further Education and Careers High School (diploma) = Entry Technical Skill Level Postsecondary Training = Middle Technical Certification, Skill Level AA Degree College or University = Advanced Technical Bachelor’s Degree Skill Level or Higher

    7. Current or Emerging Professions Labor Market Data/Analysis

    8. CTE State Plan Vision Mission High Quality CTE

    9. CTE State Plan Vision Career Technical Education will engage every student in high-quality, rigorous, and relevant educational pathways and programs, developed in partnership with business and industry, promoting creativity, innovation, leadership, community service, and lifelong learning, and allowing students to turn their “passions into paychecks” – their dreams into careers.

    10. CTE Mission The mission of CTE is to provide industry-linked programs and services that enable all individuals to reach their career goals in order to achieve economic self-sufficiency, compete in the global marketplace, and contribute to California’s economic prosperity.

    11. The 11 Elements of a High Quality CTE System

    12. High Quality vs. Non Negotiables If our goal is to operate a High Quality CTE System, then can we consider the 11 Elements of a High Quality CTE System to be Non- negotiables?

    13. If yes, let’s take a look at: Leadership at All Levels Requires institutional commitment and leadership at every level Who are our CTE Champions?

    14. High Quality Curriculum and Instruction Offers rigorous integrated technical and academic content, focused on careers, delivered through applied performance – and project based teaching strategies, and transferable workplace and career management skills. Includes Work-based learning

    15. Work-based Learning as Defined in the CTE Framework Work-based learning: Course-linked learning experiences that are outside the classroom and include and employer or community connection. Examples include pre-apprenticeship, job shadowing, mentorship, internship, clinical experience, work-study, informational interview, attendance at trade shows, field experience, career-related service learning, or other learning experience fundamentally external to the classroom.

    16. Student Support and Student Leadership Development Ranges from transportation, child care, translation services, mentoring, coaching for success in highly challenging CTE competitions and projects (CTSOs), transitions to new career opportunities, outreach, etc.

    17. Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) Structured leadership development Competitive career-related events Community service DECA, FBLA, FFA, FHA-HERO, HOSA, and SkillsUSA

    18. Industry Partnerships Include business, industry, labor and trade organizations who work through advisory committees, forums, etc. to inform CTE program design, instruction, assessment, and offer work-based learning experiences

    19. System Alignment and Coherence Pathway development Course sequencing (AB 2448) Programs of Study Articulation

    20. Career Pathway A coherent, planned sequence of career technical education courses detailing the knowledge and technical skills students need to succeed in a specific career area.

    21. Pathway Development

    22. Programs of Study A Program of Study is a multi-year sequence of academic and technical courses that provides students with a structured progression of secondary and post-secondary instruction toward a specified career area. By incorporating academic and technical content into a logical sequence with clear connections and minimal repetition, Programs of Study set a clear path of career technical coursework from middle school through college to a rewarding career.

    26. Skilled Faculty and Professional Development Requires California’s faculty to be expert in many areas Technical skills in their field Transferable essential workplace skills Academic skills required of practitioners in their career area CTE Credential-qualified

    27. Evaluation, Accountability, and Continuous Improvement Evaluation/Accountability are Key …any discussion of accountability must focus on utilizing, aligning, and expanding upon existing systems, and must emphasize program improvement along with reporting of compliance-driven data. Data is Key

    28. CTE promotion, outreach, and communication In order to ensure continued support for CTE, its benefits must be validated and made more widely known to students, parents, educators, counselors, community members, and policy makers – based on evidence of its impacts.

    30. CTE course enrollment compared to total high school enrollment, 1993-2005

    31. CTE Funding Over the Years

    32. Charting a New Course for CTE

    34. PAST FUTURE

    35. Initiatives in CTE Federal Perkins Legislation State Plan for CTE CTE Standards and Framework SB 70 Governor’s CTE Initiative Partnership Academies Multiple Pathways Report

    36. Meeting the Challenge Rigor in Academics and Career Technical Education programs Results = Employment CTE brings relevance to classroom instruction and student success Move from entitlement to investment
