Common Core State Standards & Career and Technical Education: Bridging the Divide between College and Career Readiness
The Moment is Here and the Opportunity is Clear:
As states are working to align their education systems with the CCSS in support of the goal of graduating all students ready for college, careers and life, academic and CTE leaders at the state
and local levels can and should maximize this opportunity to finally break down the silos between their disciplines and
collectively find ways to ensure that the new standards rigorously engage all students in both academic and CTE courses.

Survey and General Conclusion
Survey administered November 2011– Questions addressed plans, timetables, formation of state
level teams for CCSS, role of CTE in implementing CCSS.
Conclusion? • A substantial gap (or divide) between the need for CTE
involvement and the actual level of CTE involvement.• An implication that CCSS implementation is purely an
academic initiative, despite interest from CTE leaders to be involved.

State Interviews
• Based on survey findings, eight states selected for follow-up interviews: California, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio and Oregon.
• Interviews carried our in December 2011 and January 2012.
• Interviews focused on state agency activities to implement the CCSS within CTE. Did not try to assess local implementation.
• Interview findings were synthesized to identify 8 strategies that were employed.
• Not all states employed all the strategies.• Report draft was completed in March 2012.

Strategies for Bridging the Divide1. Developing a Common Understanding of College and Career Readiness
2. Forming Cross-Disciplinary Teams for CCSS Planning and Implementation
3. Ramping up Communications and Information Sharing
4. Creating or Updating Curricular and Instructional Resources
5. Enhancing Literacy and Math Strategies within CTE Instruction
6. Fostering CTE and Academic Teacher Collaboration
7. Establishing Expectations for and Monitoring CCSS Integration into CTE
8. Involving Postsecondary CTE in CCSS Implementation

Reflect, Transform, Lead:
A New Vision for Career Technical
Education• CTE is critical to ensuring that the United States leads in
global competitiveness.
• CTE actively partners with employers to design and
provide high-quality, dynamic programs.
• CTE prepares students to succeed in further education and
careers.
• CTE is delivered through comprehensive programs of study
aligned to The National Career Clusters Framework.
• CTE is a results-driven system that demonstrates
a positive return on investment.
![Page 8: The Moment is Here and the Opportunity is Clear:](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56814f3c550346895dbce14f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why do we need to align the CCSS
and CTE?
• CTE is critical to ensuring that the United States
leads in global competitiveness.
– Demands for relevance, increased student
engagement and achievement
– A call for common standards
• CTE actively partners with employers to design
and provide high-quality, dynamic programs.
– Employer involvement in setting standards
– Teaching and learning should model the real world

Why do we need to align the CCSS
and CTE?
• CTE prepares students to succeed in further
education and careers.
– College readiness and career readiness for ALL
• CTE is delivered through comprehensive programs
of study aligned to The National Career Clusters
Framework.
– Program of study is the implementation strategy for
CCSS and CTE alignment
– Achieve pilot study

Why do we need to align the CCSS
and CTE?
• CTE is a results-driven system that demonstrates
a positive return on investment.
– Data-driven decision-making
– Common data elements, measures and reporting
– CTE student performance on academic measures
under Perkins is very strong

The Common Career Technical
Core Initiative
• Common Career Technical Core (CCTC):
– a state-led initiative to establish a shared set of high-
quality Career Technical Education (CTE) standards
– what students should know and be able to do at the
end of a program of study within a particular career
field.
• Forty-two states, the District of Columbia, and one
territory--Palau--participated in the development and
validation of the CCTC.

High Quality CTE Programs
In order for CTE programs to prepare students to
be
college and career ready for the global economy,
CTE programs should include:
•Common Career Technical Core Standards in each of the
16 Career Cluster™ areas (CCTC)
•Career Ready Practices
•Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

Closing: CCSS and CCTC Alignment
• CCSS is critical to enhancing the academic quality of CTE programs.
• CTE partnering with CCSS can add relevance without losing rigor.
• Leadership matters! Break down silos!

Career Readiness
Three key components:• Academic skills• Employability skills• Technical skills
