The conference will focus on:
• Creating and Sustaining Quality Career & Technical Education – the best new research on current developments in CTE;
• High Academic Standards and Career & Technical Education – an update on the work of aligning CTE standards with Common Core standards;
• Developing New Economic Opportunities through Career & Technical Education – the role of CTE in new thinking about the need for multiple pathways to academic and career success.
New York City is the home of many innovative CTE programs, and the conference will feature school visits that will allow participants to discuss the work of those programs with educators and students, and to see for themselves how CTE is renewing the promise of education for young people engaged in these rigorous programs.
Our goal is for conference participants to share their expertise and experience in CTE policy, practice and research, and to deepen their understanding of how quality CTE can expand educational and career horizons for all students. The conference is also designed to raise awareness among educators and policymakers at large of the vital role that rigorous, applied learning is playing in opening career and education doors to students. Finally, it will stress the vital importance of the community: how collaboration among community groups — business, labor, educators, and government – is the critical element in making quality CTE work for students and the broader society.
The conference will consider a draft statement of recommendations which will describe what needs to be done to develop and support quality CTE program and call upon key stakeholders to support and expand the role of CTE in U.S. education.
