Draft of CTE Standards
Career Technical Education Standards for California Public Schools
Education Code Section 51226 provides legal authority to develop the CTE standards and framework. This legislation requires the development and adoption of CTE standards that incorporate the integration of career technical and academic education no later than June 1, 2005. The CTE Model Curriculum Standards were adopted by the State Board of Education (SBE) on May 11, 2005. The standards, written for grades seven through twelve, specify learning goals in 58 career pathways organized around 15 industry sectors.
The California State Plan for Career Technical Education, A BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE 2008–2012, approved by the State Board of Education in May 2008, provides guidance for California’s CTE programs in California. The State Plan states, “CTE programs are dynamic; curricula need to stay current with rapid changes in the workplace, requiring ongoing updates and learning on the part of CTE faculty.” The adoption of the English Language Arts and Mathematics Common Core State Standards furthered the need to revise and align the CTE Standards with this new academic core. The newly revised CTE Standards for grades 9–12 are being developed to prepare students to be Career and College ready.
Commencing in May 2011, 117 individuals representing secondary and post-secondary education and business and industry met for a kick-off meeting. Following the May 2011 meeting, industry sector meetings were held to develop the revised CTE standards. Documents displayed below are standards foundation drafting documents and resources applied by the panel and the draft CTE standards.
