Is your CTE program stuck in the “every student has to go to college to be successful” mindset?  Have you looked at your local labor market data?  Students today can take CTE classes and earn industry-based certifications, IBC’s, and graduate both career & college-ready.  That’s right!  Let’s get them career-ready first so they can start their high-wage, high-demand career right out of high school.  Many employers will even pay for their continuing education.  In this workshop, we will discuss building strong partnerships with the community and you will gain an understanding of how CTE Programs of Study are now an important part of the A-F Accountability System.

Explore the critical need for scalable, technology-integrated solutions in K-12 STEM education and discover how NASA's innovative resources can equip schools to meet this challenge. Imagine equipping your district with resources like NASA STEM Kits, the High School Aerospace Scholars (HAS) program, and the HAS Middle School Mathematics Course. These aren't just tools for fostering STEM learning, digital fluency, and career readiness; they provide a framework for systemic change and instructional leadership. These initiatives offer hands-on experiences such as Python programming for rocket launches and environmental sensor analysis, alongside opportunities for students to engage with NASA experts and tackle real-world mission challenges. Beyond enriching individual classrooms, we'll focus on how these resources align with TEKS and NGSS standards, promote deeper engagement with computational thinking, and empower you, technology leaders, to drive the adoption of future-ready STEM education across your districts.
