The DDOE will work with their consortia, high school coordinators, and postsecondary partners to sustain and expand a system of articulated links between academic and career and technical education at the secondary and postsecondary level that increase student academic and career and technical achievement.
The Career & Technical Education and STEM Initiatives Workgroup of the Delaware Department of Education will continue to encourage the integration of rigorous academic content into hands–on, contextual curriculums of CTE programs as well as the integration of rigorous technical content to provide contextual learning projects and other experiences. In both formats, the workgroup will promote the use of a wide variety of differentiated learning experiences to accommodate the varied learning styles of CTE students. This strategy will be stressed to enable quality courses for CTE students to incorporate increased rigor.
