The Evolution of Career and Technical Education: Building CTE-Focused Spaces into District

Tuesday, Sep. 16 at 1 p.m.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs offer unique opportunities for school districts, educators, and students within the K-12 educational realm and beyond. Over time, the range of CTE curricula has broadened from traditional building trades, fashion, and cosmetology to burgeoning programs in law, health professions, and even astronomy. These diverse programs require dedicated spaces within schools that offer real-world experiences within a safe educational environment.

While this program focuses on architecture services for school buildings, it will also touch upon the following areas: career readiness; curriculum, instruction, and assessment; facilities, property management, and infrastructure; K-12 curriculum; school construction and renovation; STEM/STEAM; and sustainable schools.
