Quality Program Guiding Questions (ponder prior to Program Approval submission)
- Are CTE courses or experiences structured in such a way that each student has access — or do students have to make choices between CTE and other experiences?
- Are there efforts to identify and eliminate barriers to participation and success in CTE courses or experiences for marginalized or special populations of students?
- Is enough time and space dedicated to middle grades CTE experiences to enable experiential or hands-on learning both within and outside the school day?
- Is enough time dedicated to middle grades CTE experiences to provide the necessary depth and breadth of content and deliver on student outcomes?
- How are experiences/courses sequenced from early education into the middle grades and then into high school as part of a broader continuum?
- Is information about course options and scheduling choices communicated clearly to students and their families?
