ACTE Quality CTE Program of Study Framework is designed to apply to individual, local CTE programs of study spanning secondary and postsecondary education, although it may be adapted to other units of analysis. This voluntary tool can be used for program self-evaluation and improvement and to encourage secondary-postsecondary collaboration.
The framework includes 12 elements and more than 90 criteria that address quality across the various components of a CTE program of study, as well as an additional set of criteria on the system supports that create the conditions for quality on the program level. Members of this group share best practices, ideas, thoughts, reflections, resources and success stories to help colleagues understand and apply the framework criteria and elements.

Career development for students needs to start at an early age, K-5, and move forward in a more in depth approach to awareness, interest and ability identification, preparation and i training.
Support all students, means all students. CTE needs to be a K-12 purposeful, driven curriculum that impacts and benefits every student.
