Welcome to the CTE Website for Colorado's Administrators and teachers. We hope that these webpages provide you with the information you need; if they do not, please contact us. The Colorado Community College System is dedicated to improving CTE programs across the state and helping to improve the prosperity of the state by supplying Colorado with its future workforce.

 

If you are an administrator looking for "Best Practices" on the key issues identified for the Colorado State Plan, follow this link. As more"Best Practices" are submitted, they will continue to be added.

 

If you are a student looking for an interesting career, follow this link to learn about opportunities in our CTE programs.

 

CTE is making a positive impact all across the nation. Our job is to share that important message and encourage others to join in preparing all students for college and career. NASDCTEc has created a video, CTE: Making the Difference, which underscores CTE’s achievements and potential. There are additional resources available at http://careertech.org/sharethevision/.


2011-12 Secondary CTE Regional Standards Workshops

The Colorado Community College System (CCCS) will be in your vicinity this year with nine full-day Regional Career and Technical Education Workshops.  The purpose of these workshops is to provide an opportunity for all secondary CTE administrators, educators, and counselors to meet with state Career and Technical Education staff.  The focus of the regional workshops will be the alignment of academics, common core standards, and CTSO events with CTE programs, Plans of Study (POS), and Individual Career and Academic Plans (ICAP).  Participants will gain important knowledge of the academics that already exist within their CTE programs and the need to intentionally teach to these standards.


These are excellent workshops for both new and experienced CTE instructors and administrators, as well as school administrators and counselors.


If you’d like to find out more about the workshops listed below, please review the attached flyer and agenda.  If you’re interested in registering right now, please do so at http://www.rsvpbook.com/event.php?437465.  Registration is free of charge, but space is limited so register early!
