Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs – An Infrastructure for College, Career, and
Military Readiness (CCMR) allows school counselors to examine how strong CTE programs
can support all students as they prepare for postsecondary success. Participants will
explore the components of approved CTE Programs of Study, including coursework, work based learning opportunities, and industry-based certifications, and understand how these relate to the individual planning components of a comprehensive counseling program.
Participants will review the relationship between CTE and programs of study to federal and
state legislation (including Perkins V, HB5 - Endorsements, HB3 - Outcomes Bonus Funding,
and SB179 - Counseling Duties) and other initiatives. After this module, participants will
have a deeper understanding of the value of CTE programs and be better equipped to work
with administrators to create the local infrastructure for CCMR driven by data.
This session is part of a TEA-created series of CTE Professional Development.
