Changed font to a sans sarif font and lighter font to navy for better projection in a large room. I left the title font as is, though, as that makes a good design element. I also inserted initial caps. This is a design decision, but should be consistent throughout--later slides use initial caps.

Career and Technical

Education TEKS

National Career Cluster Standards

• Essential Knowledge and Skills

• Cluster (Foundation) Knowledge and Skills

• Pathway Knowledge and Skills

Texas Standards

• Foundational Academic Standards

• College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS)

• English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS)

Knowledge and Skill Standards


Each Set of Standards is a Curriculum Framework

The standards:

State what students are expected to know and

be able to do

Are divided into strands of similar skills and

concepts for use in planning

Are meant to be integrated and taught in context


TEKS: Rule-Text Format

(3) The student identifies the importance of a well-written business plan. The student is expected to: (A) categorize a business plan and the need for a well-orchestrated business

plan; (B) research business plan outlines, resources, and templates using web

search engines; (C) explain a marketing plan, including price competition, non-price

competition, market analysis, competition, marketing research, market segmentation, demographics, and sales forecasting;

TEKS Training

Those who have not attended one of the Cluster TEKS training that covered Module 4 & 5 of the total training should plan to attend training at their summer professional development conference or training at another ESC.

Training on Modules 1-3 will be available on-line through Project Share in the early fall. Look for more information in the Region 17 CTE Program Newsletter from Marilyn Stone.

If you do not receive the CTE Newsletter contact Marilyn at [email protected] and request to be added to the list serve.

CTE Textbook Update

The next scheduled textbook adoption for CTE will be in 2014.

The CTE and Instructional Materials and Educational Technology (IMET) divisions at TEA are working to construct a list of currently adopted textbooks to correspond with the new CTE courses.

When the list is finalized, IMET will send it via e-mail to textbook coordinators and post the list on its web page.

Coherent Sequence of Courses

Flexibility to create sequences based on local need and electives available

Courses in a sequence can be a combination of courses from different clusters

A coherent sequence of courses is not restricted to courses from the same cluster

Teacher Certification

April 9, 2010 – SBEC approved proposed amendment to rules for certification requirements for new CTE courses http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=8297

Proposed amendment was filed with the Texas Register for official 30 day public comment period.

SBEC will consider the amendment June 18, 2010 for action. Once approved, the amendment will be presented to the SBOE in July.

If the SBOE takes no action on the proposed amendment, it will stand as approved by the SBEC.

Highly Qualified CTE Teachers

In order to teach the new CTE courses for academic credit on the 4X4, teachers must meet the highly qualified requirements under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

Subject matter competence is the critical component for CTE teachers teaching math, science, fine arts, or speech. This can be demonstrated through coursework, passing a certification test, or meeting HOUSSE (high objective uniform State standard of evaluation).

The NCLB Division at TEA and the Career & Technical Association of Texas are working to revise the ways that CTE teacher can meet subject matter competence without compromising the integrity or intent of the law.
