CTE STATE NEEDS ASSESMENT • http://www.schoolsmovingup.net/cs/ctep/print/htdocs/ctep/background.htm • Specifically, this study seeks to answer two major questions: • 1) What is the status of CTE in California and what are the major trends? • 2) What resources and system improvements are essential at the state and local levels to ensure that CTE meets the current and evolving needs of students, communities, and the economy?
Findings • Declining enrollment- suggesting that the programs are not providing meaningful exposure to the full range of postsecondary education and career options • Although decreasing enrollment these programs are highly valued due their ability to engage students and promote academic success. • Counselors are supportive of the program but there is sometimes reluctance to refer students because it might compromise their A-G Requirements • Lack of staff planning time • The need to shift to a demand driven program rather than “seat time”
Findings Continued 1- Create stronger ties with academic instruction with counseling and guidance functions. 2- Ensure meaningful input from industry on skills needed in the workplace, standards, and curriculum as well as direct mentoring of students and educators. 3- Promote stronger linkages among public institutions to ensure system coherence and flexibility 4- Demonstrate how CTE promotes student success; align data collection and reporting systems to track system performance; make the benefits of CTE more visible.
