AB 127 Requires CDE to:

Develop criteria and pupil outcome measures to evaluate the program in cooperation with the Chancellor’s Office, the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, and industry groups – Education Code Section 17078.72(b) Two meetings held:

October and November 2006


CTE Projects Eligible Under AB 127

New construction projects – comprehensive high schools Education Code sections 51224,

What is Career Technical Education?

A program of study that involves a multiyear sequence of courses that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students with a pathway to postsecondary education and careers.


Education Code Section 51220(i):

Career Technical Education: “designed for the purpose of preparing youth for gainful employment in the occupations and in the numbers that are appropriate to the personnel needs of the state and community served…”


CDE Review Process

Submit CTE application by August 3, 2007

Two step process:

1. CTE educational program, project or equipment will be reviewed based upon the grant requirements for the CTE educational program.

– Approved grant applications will be forwarded to the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC) for priority and ranking.

– Once OPSC determines which CTE projects will be funded, those applications will be submitted to the State Allocation Board for approval.

2. The facilities, space and equipment requirements of the proposed project will be reviewed by CDE School Facilities Planning Division for consistency with both Title 5 standards and the CTE educational specifications (aka Final Plan Approval).


CTE Model Curriculum Standards

Adopted May 11, 2005 by the State Board of Education

Content standards for use by educators to build curricula, courses, and pathways designed to prepare students for entry into postsecondary education or employment.


CTE Model Curriculum Standards Include:

Foundation standardsThe standards all students need to achieve to master workplace competencies in the career technical education curriculum and in the workplace

Pathway Standards Concise statements that reflect the essential knowledge and skills students are expected to master to be successful in a career pathway
