There are often questions about effectively developing crosswalks between CTE programs and academic standards as part of the state CTE program approval process. This discussion thread is an opportunity to raise questions and provide suggestions on referencing academic content to achieve program approval. 

We have added a new professional learning resrouce to CTE Learn.  This is the New York Lesson NY102 The CDOS Credential and CDOS Pathway.  This is in the section for Free Resources -> New York CTE Leaders. The Lessons helps to understand both the CDOS Credential and Pathway – the relationship and differences. 

Thanks to Connie Spohn for doing the writing on the lesson. 

Here is a link to open the lesson, https://ny.ctelearn.org/cte-lessons/new-york-cte-leaders/NY102/the-nys-cdos-credential-and-graduation-pathway

A new Essentials for CTE Administrators course developed in New York is now live. The course is LC101 Role of CTE in High School improvement.  Thanks to Margy Jones-Cary for her work in writing the course and appreciation ot Donna DeSiato, Superintendent of East Syracuse Minoa for recording several video pieces.  

To access this credit course you will need the New York access code MK-NY617.

Let me know if you have any questions.
