Intro to CTE
2018-19 is the first year of full implementation for CR 100.4 as it applies to career and technical education (CTE). All schools are required to offer all middle school students 1 3/4 unit of career and technical education. Instruction can begin as early as grade 5 and must be complete prior to the end of grade 8. All instruction must be delivered by an appropriately certified CTE teacher, even if instruction is delivered in an elementary building. Teachers holding a certificate in any title for any of the CTE content areas (i.e., Agriculture, Business, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health Sciences, Technology, or Trade and Technical) is considered appropriately certified. A middle-level CTE curricular guidance project (curriculum framework) has been drafted to help steer districts' decisions about how middle-level CTE will be delivered in their schools.
