This NTACT CBVI content session helps state interdisciplinary teams examinine their levels of coordination and collaboration across department and agency partners to: 1) implement high quality transition programs and services; 2) deliver Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS); and, 3) ensure students with disabilities have access to and can persist in career and technical education (CTE) programs and curricula.

AdvanceCTE, a professional organization for state CTE personnel, has released a blog on multiple topics related to providing CTE services during Covid-19. Here is one blog statement that is specifically focused on Work-based Learning Opportunities that I thought may be of interest: http://blog.careertech.org/?p=16653
Thanks, Deanne. Great information here –also includes some direct links to state and local examples of career awareness and exploration experiences being provided to learners through video platforms.
One thing that is missing from this dialogue is ESSA- and the focus on inclusive practices. Students are general education students first. ESSA requires the data collection, focus on standards, and defines the diploma, which are essential for any student to leave school college and carer ready
Thank you for the great resources!
You’re welcome, Liz!
Hi Everyone! If you want to keep up with this discussion, please CLICK SUBSCRIBE in the GREEN BAR above.
Could someone please share their strategies for moving across the spectrum of collaboration? For example, moving from just co-existing to sharing information and coordinating services. Or from coordinating services to fully integrate programs, planning, and funding?
This is almost exactly the question I heard from a state today. Please do share – and plan to share in the S2S – about this range of collaboration strategies – “moving across the spectrum of collaboration” as Dawn references.
Is there a way to find out which state certification test offer accommodations? One barrier with CTE is the state the student with a disability won’t be able to pass the state certification test ie welding or cosmetology and therefore don’t want the student in the CTE course.
Excellent presentation! I appreciate the information and the tools that were shared! Even though I was watching this recording on my own, I made use of the opportunities to stop and reflect which resulted in many good discussion questions to take to my team. Thank you!!!
So glad to hear it – thanks for letting us know, Donna!
Great presentation and resources! It will be very helpful, as an interdisciplinary group, to elaborate on the “what’s in it for our partners”. The better understanding of our partner agencies the better we can collectively support our mutual students through system alignment and collaboration.
