2010 Event

CTE Conference

Santa Clara County Office of Education, Silicon Valley Education Foundation, and Cisco invite you to the second annual CTE Conference on Friday October 29th from 8:30am - 2:30pm.

This conference is designed for non CTE (Career Technical Education) people. The goal is to share information with administrators who are in roles that need to know about CTE, academic teachers, counselors, public officials and business partners. The conference will bring students, educators and employers to develop and strengthen the relationship between what's being taught in the classroom and its application in the workplace. Its programs prepare students with 21st-century skills.

• CTE is made up of 15 industry sectors, which include 58 career pathways related to all occupations.
• A series of courses grouped together integrate academic and technical training to provide students with a pathway to postsecondary education and careers.
• Some CTE classes stand alone, and others are found in California Partnership Academies, Multiple Pathway programs or Regional Occupational Programs.
• CTE engages students, increases attendance and graduation rates, helps close the achievement gap, and raises grades.

Keynote

The Keynote speaker will be Jim Brazell, a national consultant on STEM. He will discuss moving from the "why" to integrate CTE, arts and academics in schools to the "how."

Presenter

Jim Stone, Director of the National Research Center for CTE will share the most current research and studies on CTE such as Math in CTE, Accountability in CTE, and Curriculum Integration.
