CTE High-Quality Framework: Sequencing & Articulation --> Collaboration and Partnerships
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
What this module gave me is a wider job description for my advisory partners. I've leaned on them mostly for curriculum and credential validation, and the module laid out everything else they can do: evaluate facilities and equipment, help justify purchases and maintenance, open job opportunities for students, and act as advocates when a program needs backing. That lands directly on a problem I'm stuck on right now, where access to certain tools and credentials is blocked by resourcing I can't move alone. I intend to apply it by bringing those specific fights to my advisory partners and using them as the advocacy and justification body they're built to be, and by formalizing a communications plan so every stakeholder group sees the timeline, the value to them, and the progress on a regular cycle.
PAC is a key essential when it comes to being a CTE educator because they are the ones that help build your program up every year but also help give your students those Work based opportunities for them to get their hands-on experience.
I learned about the PAC and how it can help to support teacher and students by bridging the gap between industry & collegiate partners and the classroom
