“CTE at the Core” Citywide Conference

More than 500 educators, the vast majority Career and Technical Education teachers, joined the Advisory Council for Technical Education, the principals' union and staff from the Department of Education for an all-day conference at UFT headquarters. The conference addressed the next steps for CTE, including creating internships and other college- and workplace-readiness opportunities for every public high-school student, including those with special needs; improving technology retraining for CTE teachers; and expanding school partnerships with employers.
