We currently don't have a CTE advisory board. I would love to start one but we haven't had anyone willing to help us start one but if anyone has any ideas I would love to take some notes. 

We have Work-Based Learning, Job-shadowing, Apprenticeship, and Internship with our community partners. We also have CTE Open Houses and will start a Career Day.  

At my high school we have started having CTE Open House's and it's been great! We have our students there to be involved and do tours community partners and families come to see what we have and how we are improving and staying up to date with the workforce. Students get curious and ask what we need to do get into those classes. 

I love the idea of Gen Ed teachers and CTE teacher's co-planning/teaching so that students can get that knowledge and better understanding with the hands-on experience. 

Comment on Margaret Coate's post: I love the idea of co-teaching opportunities!! 

At my school we have a lot of success but also have a lot we can work on. Every week we have a CTE team meeting and we are very good with our communication, support, respect, compassion, and initiative. We strive to be a great team so we can be what the students needs us to be. I am always looking for ways to help out my teachers with new certs, updated information, and how we can improve or how we can add things into our program to help our students to continue to grow. 

CTE doesn't just improve the CTE Programs it helps improve the whole school. It can boost engagement with students, teachers, and the community, achievements, and culture. Our graduation rates will keep rising which will improve our Data tracking. We also include our junior high students, get them more involved with hands on engagement to prepare for the CTE programs in high school so when they are registering for their high school classes they have some kind of idea what there is out there and what classes they would need to take to prepare them better.
