State Center Consortium has a $1,000 stipend available for five Central Valley High School CTE teams to develop "end of course assessments and best practices of pathway and curriculum that best demonstrate the qualities of the 11 key elements of quality CTE programs."

Each team will be required to develop:

  1. A sample end of year assessment instrument for the identified CTE course (final exam and/or lab assessment)
  2. Lesson plans (two-five) for one instructional unit
  3. Support documentation for the instructional unit (test/quiz, homework assignment, list of needed supplies/curriculum for the sample lessons, etc.)

This completed project will be collected for inclusion on the Butte County Office of Education CTE on-line site for statewide distribution along with those developed by other California high schools. The information will also be posted on the State Center Consortium website.

I am sure you have several high school CTE teams or individual teachers with outstanding "best practices" that are already developed and successfully implemented. All they would need to do is to professionally organize the information for electronic distribution.

The money can be given to an individual teacher as a stipend or a school.

Upon completion of the following information, State Center Consortium will contact the interested individuals.

All required materials must be submitted before June 15, 2011.
