Announcing the Approval of New State CTE Course Equivalencies!

Details:

The Superintendent of Public Instruction has approved five new state Career and Technical Education (CTE) course equivalencies, now available for district adoption (Superintendent Letter of Approval)
CTE equivalencies support student flexibility and choice on their path to obtaining a diploma
These state equivalency frameworks were built in collaboration with educators and business and industry partners.

Newly-Approved CTE Course Equivalencies:

School Counselor Considerations:

School counselors play an integral role through the context of school counseling programs to facilitate students’ acquisition of attitudes, knowledge and skills needed to achieve positive postsecondary and career outcomes.
When school counselors provide all students with information about high-quality CTE programs, they help all students consider all of their options following high school completion, including directly entering the world of work.
When school counselors demonstrate a shared understanding of CTE programs with other CTE stakeholders (e.g., teachers, administrators, legislators and employers), they are better equipped to encourage all students and their families to consider the advantages of enrolling in rigorous and relevant CTE courses.
