February is National CTE Month
On behalf of the Texas Education Agency’s College, Career, and Military Preparation staff, we wish you a Happy CTE Month. CTE Month is a national celebration of the impact of CTE on students, families, educators, our workforce, and our communities. We join the nation in celebrating the teachers, counselors, and administrators who provide students with quality CTE programs that prepare them for high-wage, high-skill, and in-demand occupations. We also recognize our industry partners who add value to CTE programs in Texas by serving on advisory boards and enabling students to have engaging work-based learning experiences. As we celebrate National CTE month, we are grateful for all who prepare our students for postsecondary success.

Perkins V Summary and Supplemental Reports
Local Education Agencies (LEAs) may access the 2022-23 Perkins V Summary and Supplemental Reports within the Career and Technical Education Reports (CTER) application in TEAL. The reports provide data, disaggregated by Perkins’ special populations, for CTE Learners and non-CTE Learners related to graduation rates, academic performance, and postsecondary placement.
If you do not have access to the CTER application, a request for access must be submitted through the TEAL system, where it will be routed for approval to the district superintendent or designee before final approval by TEA.

Navigating Perkins V
Please join us to hear about important Perkins V topics such as UGG, EDGAR, and allowable/unallowable uses of funds. There will be two opportunities for engagement on Perkins V:
Texas CTE Resource Center Instructional Materials Will be Unpublished June 2, 2025
All CTE instructional materials on the Texas CTE Resource Center will be unpublished on June 2, 2025. After June 2, the materials will no longer be available online or through email request. Instructional materials impacted by this change include CTE course scope and sequence documents, lesson plans, slide decks, pre and post quizzes, activities, etc. Non-instructional resources on the site will not be removed.
House Bill (HB) 1605 was passed during the 88th Texas Legislature (Regular Session). HB 1605 established an expanded process for the State Board of Education (SBOE) to approve high-quality instructional materials (HQIM). The Texas Education Agency will work to develop new CTE instructional content using the HQIM procurement process. To learn more about the instructional materials process and implementation, visit the Instructional Materials Terminology page.
CTE Professional Development Resources on Texas Gateway Will be Unpublished June 2, 2025
CTE professional development (PD) content on the Texas Gateway has been updated on the TEALearn site. All CTE PD content on the Texas Gateway site will be unpublished at the close of business on June 2, 2025.
CTE PD is available on the TEALearn website. Non-PD CTE content is available on the Texas CTE Resource Center. Additional CTE resources can be found on the Texas Education Agency's CTE website.
