CTE Staff Guide

CTE Action & Event Planner

» View the Planner

CTE wants to make managing your CTE action items and events as easy as possible. We have developed a simple Excel spreadsheet listing of all recommended action items and scheduled CTE events by date. We will update this resource in real-time and send major additions and changes to you via the CTE Email Newsletter.

The CTE Staff Guide tells you all the fundamentals you need to know about operating CTE programs in CPS, such as what teacher credentials are required for each program, what student assessment tools are used, what curriculum and programs of study students should follow, what budget allocations are given to each program, and whom to call for various types of support in the CTE department. This guide is different than other management handbooks. Instead of one "big book", it is a compilation of targeted "one‐pagers" that together make up an overall operations guide. Each page or section can stand alone a separate communication and planning tool. At first, reading in the "one‐pager" format may be unusual, but the utility of having targeted segments makes real‐time use more practical.

For example: You get a notification that the NOCTI assessment period is starting. You can easily jump directly to the NOCTI page, copy or download from the web, and distribute to your team. No cutting, pasting or editing.
