Hello, Again,

I look forward to supporting you to foster the best CTE opportunities for our students. When we are our best, we can ensure our students receive the best.

This is a tool I have created as an additional measure of support. Don't hesitate to contact me via email, TEAMs, or phone if you need support. This Padlet should not be used for official communication.

Courses may include:

State-adopted designated curriculum

# data[].attributes.body
There are tons of curricula and sometimes it can be difficult navigating resources. The CTE department has compiled credible resources for you to use. Browse for your course here to view the adopted curriculum and supplemental materials.

If you would like to request supplemental curriculum for your CTE course, please request it here.

# data[].attributes.body
Our team offers a wide array of professional development. If you find professional development that you would like to request our team to sponsor, please submit an official request for professional development here.

# data[].attributes.body
The CTE Service Request Form should be used to request:

professional development support

purchases (must be submitted by office manager following CTE admin. approval)

business partnerships

etc.

This will track and streamline support, and update you on the status of your request.

# data[].attributes.body
Once you know which certification(s) you want to offer to your students, it is important that you work with our team to purchase.

You will request for the CTE team to pay for IBCs here. (Opens mid/ late August)

Please be ready to explain how students will benefit from the certification, have rosters, anticipated testing date, etc. ready to include in the request.

When you need to order, the 1st step is knowing where you can order from. The Approved Vendor list is where you should start.

You can search the list by:

adjusting the NIGP Description Filter to "CONTAINS"

Search common words related to your need (for example "food" for culinary arts)

Please note that in most cases, computers, printers, etc. are ordered from NetSync and they only supply specific models to HISD. HISD-approved equipment can be found here.

Texas CTE has many resources including Lesson Plans, Scope and Sequence, Career & Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) information, lessons, Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) workforce information, and more.
