The cool thing about the new CTE standards is that it’s for all
students, K through 12, and it cuts across all subject areas
and content areas, really kind of infusing career and technical education
content and concepts into the curriculum early on until 12th grade.
Again, the real important thing around career and technical education
is the connection with business and industry.
And this -- not only have these standards been vetted by
our teachers and our educators and our administrators,
but certainly our business and industry sector
has played a big role in providing input to these standards.
Our writers and the business partners who helped create these standards also
recognize that there are common career standards that cut across all the
career and technical education areas. So that’s really important to us.
My goal as state superintendent is to make sure that all kids are
college- and career-ready, and these standards will help us get there.
