The Career, Technical and Adult Education (CTAE) Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the Advisory Council on Teaching and Learning, assists the Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education in reviewing and recommending improvements to existing programs and supporting the development of new course offerings in related areas to enhance the instructional program of Arlington Public Schools. Recommendations are made to the Advisory Council on Teaching & Learning and ultimately the School Board.
Join our group of educators, business professionals, parents and community activists at our monthly meetings where we discuss topics such as:
- Discussing trends in the business and higher education landscapes, local and regional, and their potential impact on the K-12 school system;
- Creating business connections within the Arlington and regional community to enable students to have beneficial work experiences, internships, and apprenticeships;
- Examining career pathways for students of all academic abilities, including those with special challenges;
- Exploring educational offerings in APS, particularly at the Career Center, soon to house Arlington Tech., to ensure all students are highly employable whether they elect to go on to 4-year universities, community college, or enter a trade;
- Identifying professional development requirements for APS teachers such as their recent engagement in project-based learning techniques;
- Reviewing nationwide K-12 initiatives such as dual enrollment and how these might apply to APS and our implementation strategy;
- Funding priorities including allocations under the annual Federal Perkins Act, finding and pursuing grant opportunities, and funding requests to the School Board, through the ACI process;
- Updating and creating new educational policies, such as recent advances in obtaining quality points for all dual enrollment classes; and
- Ensuring that the adult education program meets the needs of the Arlington community, with offerings that support workforce development as well as programs to support the continued learning for all citizens.
The Advisory Committee meets each month on Wednesdays from 8:30-9:30 AM.
