Career and Technical Education (CTE) Exploration
CTE does more than simply prepare students for careers, it provides students with an opportunity to develop specific academic, intellectual, technical, and 21st-century skills necessary to be successful in career and in life. In pursuit of ensuring every student in Tennessee achieves this level of success, we begin with rigorous course standards that feed into intentionally designed programs of study. Students engage in industry-relevant content through general education integration and experiences such as career & technical student organizations (CTSO), early postsecondary opportunities (EPSO), work-based learning (WBL) courses, and industry certifications. Through these experiences, students are immersed with industry-standard content and technology, solve industry-based problems, meaningfully interact with industry professionals, and use/produce industry-specific, informational texts. CTE gives students the necessary tools to be successful on the path to postsecondary success.” – TN Department of Education, Vision of Excellent CTE Instruction 2020
Academies
College and career academies are schools within a school-aligned to a specific career theme. They are college and career preparatory small learning communities in which a select group of students focuses their core class experience around a common career interest. Students share many of the same teachers, allowing educators to collaborate with each other in the coordination of lesson planning and classroom activities that align to the academy theme.
