CTE Online
provides tools, resources and a community for CTE
teachers and curriculum developers. Primarily, it
helps K-12 and
Regional Occupational Center and Program (ROP)
educators develop curricula that are correlated
with California CTE Standards. The main resource
of the CTE Online website is the Curriculum
Organizer, an online tool that allows the
automated entry of CTE Standards, and
O-NET and
California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS)
codes directly into required curriculum
outlines to facilitate certification by the
California Department of Education. This is a
burdensome and difficult process for teachers, and
these very valuable tools make it more efficient
for teachers to meet these requirements and
justify their CTE courses by mapping to and
meeting required academic standards. Teams of
educators can use the Curriculum Organizer to
share curriculum outlines and learn from each
other. CTE Online also provides training for the
Curriculum Organizer and a discussion forum. |
