What is CTE?What is CTE?

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is education that prepares both youth and adults for a wide range of careers. These careers may require varying levels of education from high school and post-secondary certificates to two to four-year college degrees.


HistoryHistory CTE became popular in Europe after the

Industrial Revolution by the decline of handwork force.

This situation resulted in the need of manual training, involving general instruction in the use of hand tools. This concept of Education was developed initially in Scandinavia (c.1866).

It became popular in the elementary schools of the United States after 1880.

Major Progress was made by the armed services during World War II.

In recent years, many of the public high schools offer vocational training with a lot of programs designed according to the needs

Where and How CTE is offeredWhere and How CTE is offered

CTE is offered in middle schools, high schools, two-year community and technical colleges and other post-secondary institutions.


Where and How CTE is offeredWhere and How CTE is offered High school programs are offered either within

a "comprehensive" high school or in separate "area career and technical schools."

In some states, such as Delaware, both academic and technical courses are offered in full-time career and technical high schools.

Usually career and technical programs are offered as a sequence of courses that are supplemented by work-based experiences, such as internships or apprenticeships.


Funding Opportunities for CTEFunding Opportunities for CTE There are over 15 million secondary and post-

secondary career and technical education students in the United States (2002) .

The program is applied in 11,000 comprehensive high schools, several hundred career and technical high schools and about 1,400 area career tech centers.

About 9,400 post-secondary institutions offer technical programs, including community colleges, technical institutes, skill centers and other public and private two- and four-year colleges.


Funding and opportunities for CTEFunding and opportunities for CTE Programs receive about $1.3 billion annually

from the federal government through the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act.

That represents about 8-10 percent of budgets for these programs, which receive most of their funding from local and state revenue.

Other laws, such as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Higher Education Act and the Workforce Investment Act, also fund programs.


Career and Technical Training in Texas

Career and technical programs are dedicated to preparing young people to manage the dual roles of family member and wage earner. Career and technical programs enable students to gain entry-level employment in a high-skill, high-wage job and/or to continue their education.


TEA PerspectiveTEA Perspective

TEA offers programs in areas from agriculture to arts that enable students to connect their education with the real world. Therefore, the State Board of Education commissioned the writing of TEKS objectives to address this goal. Schools across Texas are following those objectives to fulfill the needs of their communities.

Each one of the chapters that the legislation of Texas approved on CTE has TEKS developed to be followed by the public education system. Now, we need to keep in mind that those TEKS were adopted on 2009. Therefore, data is being collected to define the effectiveness of those programs on the State of Texas.

This connects with the national inquiry about the success of public education. The main issue is the relevance of k-12 education on the professional outcome of our students. The process of globalization has great impact on the way we perceive education. This trend changed the landscape of education in our country. Now we have to compete with brilliant students that come from countries with huge populations. Their number of G/T students surpass our total number of students. Therefore their capacity to compete in this new world is

Empowering Students To Compete In A Global Society

The mission of the Career and Technical Education Department (CTE) is to empower students with the academic and technical skills needed to strengthen the economic and social foundation of the city of Houston and beyond.


This evaluation was conducted by Education Service Center 6, for the Texas Education Agency. The study focused on the quality and effectiveness of career and technology education programs in Texas. .

Major Findings:

CTSO s are effective in developing student leadership skills. FFA was considered the most effective.

Survey results indicated that administrators and teachers lack sufficient knowledge regarding Project Lead the Way and Special Projects Resource Center Programs.

The number of teachers attending respective professional development conferences is dwindling each year.

Non-CTE students outperformed CTE students on both the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) and Higher Education Readiness Component (HERC), although the gap is decreasing over time in reading/ELA. Regression analysis showed that being enrolled in a CTE program was not associated with higher TAKS scores.

The more structured the CTE course, the better the student scored on reading/ELA and HERC. Even in more structured CTE classes, CTE students lagged behind non-CTE students.

CTE students who plan to go to college lagged behind non-CTE students who planned to go to college in meeting the HERC components in reading and math.

CTE students were more likely to remain in school and graduate than non-CTE students. This was even more pronounced among students who enrolled in a more structured CTE program, such as Tech Prep.

does reach on careers in GIS for the GIS Day Contest Nov 21st.

Consistent with the District’s key focus areas on dropout prevention and intervention, community and parent engagement, as well as strengthening relevance in the classroom, Houston ISD has invested in the future of our students by purchasing the Kuder® Career Planning System. In order to broaden career exploration programs, career assessment services are being provided at no charge to schools.


Career and Technical Education in Career and Technical Education in HISD HISD

HISD defines Career and Technical Education (CTE) as a framework and curriculum that “provides students with the academic and technical skills they need to compete in the global workforce and/or to continue their education at the post-secondary level after graduation”

(http://www.houstonisd.org/portal/site/CareerTech/) By enrolling in CTE courses and participating in CTE

program components, students are empowered to strengthen the economic and social foundation of the local community and beyond.According to Ferguson, Schwartz & Symonds (2011),

“There are already pockets of excellence in career and technical education in many American states and communities. Cutting-edge career and technical education (CTE) bears little relationship to the old vocational education programs that were often little more than dumping grounds for students who couldn’t cut it in college-prep. Today’s best CTE programs do a better job of preparing many students for college and career than traditional academics-only programs.” (pg. 25)


Career and Technical Career and Technical Education(CTE) in HISD Education(CTE) in HISD The Career and Technical Education program (CTE) in the

Houston Independent School District has a mission to equip students with the marketable academic and technical skills needed to compete in the global workforce and/or to continue their education at the post-secondary level after graduation. Consequently, the goals of the CTE program are:

to provide students with relevant and up-to-date instruction within their career pathway (s) of interest,

to offer an advanced curriculum that can lead to industry certifications,

to expose students to out-of-classroom and real-world work experiences, and

to implement professional development that focuses on best practices in career and technical education.

CTE in HISD CTE in HISD ◦ Sixth-grade through twelfth-grade students can enroll in

elective courses that match their career interests. High school students can develop a career concentration and take multiple CTE courses that correspond with their interests.

◦ One hundred and sixty-five different CTE courses were offered at 67 schools in 29 high schools and 38 middle schools throughout the district.

◦ According to Houston ISD’s Research Educational Program Report (2010) , the most popular career concentrations in the district for 2008−2009 were (1) Information Technology, (2) Health Science, (3) Human Services, (4) Marketing, Sales, and Services, and (5) Manufacturing.

◦ In a departmental memo, HISD Superintendant Terry Grier notes , “When analyzing the longitudinal graduation rates, the percentages of CTE students graduating from high school in a four-year period were higher than those of the district in the class of 2006(79.9 percent versus 67.1 percent), in the class of 2007 (79.4 percent versus 64.3 percent), and in the class of 2008 (84.7 percent versus 68.2 percent).”
