Local educational agencies (LEAs) interested in obtaining second round CTE funding must submit a revised application (DOC; 839KB; 20pp.) to the California Department of Education (CDE) by February 1, 2008. The applications will be reviewed and scored based on the requirements contained in the application guidelines. Applications meeting the minimum score requirement, as outlined in the rubrics, will be forwarded to the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC) for priority and ranking.
Districts may download the Career Technical Educational Model Curriculum Standards (PDF; 1.58MB; 441pp.) and the recently adopted Career Technical Education Framework. The Standards, which are written for grades seven through twelve, specify learning goals in 58 career pathways organized around 15 industry sectors. The Framework is designed to guide curriculum discussions at the local level and the development of a rigorous and relevant career technical education curriculum that increases student achievement.
