CTE Drive-In Agenda Topics
Common Technical Core -- The National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education has recently supported the creation of the Common Career Technical Core (CCTC), a set of common, program-level standards for CTE that are fewer, higher and clearer. Learn about these changes and how to apply to your pathways.
Pathways: CCPSA and Student Data Management — This session will cover the basics of pathway approval as well as the necessary requirements for data collection and reporting in CTE.
Rigorous Programs of Study — Lessons learned by schools, tips for all teachers, and how ten little frameworks can guide you to making CTE pathways essential to district as participants discovered. You will have the opportunity to hear what teachers like you learned and accomplished in their schools and how you might be able to do the same.
21st Century Partnership — Partnerships with business/industry, postsecondary institutions, and the local community are essential to the success of every career pathway. A panel of regional experts will discuss innovative ways to utilize these partnerships for maximum benefits to your students.
Embracing K12 CTE — CTE can have a stronger connection to career and college ready students when the connection starts in Kindergarten. Learn to link CTE careers and pathways to academic and CTE instruction across all grade levels.
Cluster Updates — KSDE CTE Consultants will be available to provide current information relevant to their specific pathways. Current information will include questions & answers about the new legislation, pathway changes and recommendations; and future pathway revision schedules.
CTE Administrators — If you are an administrator and/or the CTE coordinator for your district, this session is for you. We will discuss current and future issues in CTE. Please bring your burning questions to this session and we’ll work to find answers for you!
End of Pathway Assessments —This session will be an overview of the end of pathway assessment process and will include who is involved. Some sample items will be provided.
New to CTE — What am I getting into? What reporting is required? Who do I call if I need help? All these questions and more will be answered by KSDE program consultants
