CTE Core Values

CTE teachers plan high quality lessons and learning experiences that engage students in grade-level rigorous tasks through the use of sound instructional teaching and learning strategies.  

Students in CTE classrooms discover their strengths and passions and have opportunities to experience and explore potential careers, empowering them to select career pathways and set goals for their futures. 

Students in grades 9-12 CTE classrooms participate in guaranteed student experiences that connect students to industry and  expand learning beyond the classroom to the real world of work.  

Students in CTE classrooms cultivate professional skills like time management and communication, preparing students to be competitive in future education or training and in their professional careers. 

CTE teachers lead Career & Tech Student Organizations (CTSO) that offer students unique experiences and transformative leadership opportunities. 

Students in CTE classes earn industry recognized credentials like OSHA, CNA and Microsoft Office,  that qualify them to enter the workforce or to advance their education and training.
