CTE Collaborations & Communications

Collaboration Check-in FORM   |  RESPONSES    |    WBL Newsletters

SY26 Archived CTE Monthly Communications News

2026-09 August Welcome Back - All Things CTE

Monthly Collaborations

Teachers may participate in a 30-60 minute virtual meeting per month.  We can share the sign-in documentation with your Administrators if you request so you can count it towards ALP meetings.

These meetings are optional but are intended to support teachers and provide a space to collaborate. Some meetings are run by teacher leaders.

Content can adjust their schedule and frequency as needed. 

NEW:  Teachers holding a teaching license are eligible to earn PDP points for attending the full hour of each collaboration meeting.


Here are some best practices that will help the session go smoothly:

  • Be sure to have working audio and video on your device. A laptop or desktop computer will work more seamlessly than a phone or tablet.

  • Expect to participate fully in the collaboration, which will mean entering responses into the chat and participating in the group discussion. Please do not multitask while checking email, driving, etc.

  • If you have a question or want to add some input, use the "Hand Button", we want to hear from you.
