High-Quality CTE: Planning for a COVID-19-Impacted School Year

Overview & Synopsis

As the country continues to grapple with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Career and Technical Education (CTE) stakeholders around the nation are thinking ahead to what education might look like in the future. Whether schools and postsecondary institutions will be able to open fully for the next school year using social distancing methods, utilize a blended approach or continue with remote learning exclusively, there are significant implications for CTE programs, students and educators. This guide is designed to help CTE stakeholders identify the key considerations, questions and emerging best practices that should shape future planning. The guide is organized around the elements of ACTE's "Quality CTE Program of Study Framework" to capture the breadth of issues important to maintaining CTE program quality within any educational environment.
