Effective Organizational Design

For CTE to prepare students to meet rigorous standards and become lifelong learners with employable skills, the K–12, adult school, and community college systems need to be intentionally designed to ensure that this occurs. Minimally, this entails the development of organizational structures and processes that facilitate student access to programs, enable faculty to collaborate with one another, promote personalization, link students with business and industry for workplace learning, and encourage course and program completion. In so doing, CTE also blurs the line between education and the workplace, in such a way that all are working toward the common goal of ensuring student success and workforce readiness.
