The purpose of Brave Dialogues: A Guide to Discussing Racial Equity in Career Technical Education is to provide state Career Technical Education (CTE) leaders with tools to engage in discussion around racial equity in CTE and to support state CTE leaders in creating an environment in which all stakeholders have the language and comfort to discuss challenges and opportunities related to racial equity in CTE. 

Students today face a multitude of factors affecting their personal and academic wellbeing. Poverty and homelessness, food insecurity, substance and alcohol abuse, social pressure and anxiety and depression all impact a student’s ability to learn, not to mention the acute struggles that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating the pressures students feel on a daily basis. Widely viewed as an integral part of the American education system, social-emotional learning (SEL) helps young people navigate the challenges and stressors of life in and outside the classroom.

The goal is to provide topics for you to explore further in your professional development and to equip you with a general knowledge of the world of CTE Administration.

This task was developed by high school and postsecondary mathematics and agriculture sciences educators, and validated by content experts in the Common Core State Standards in mathematics and the National Career Clusters Knowledge & Skills Statements. It was developed with the purpose of demonstrating how the Common Core and CTE Knowledge & Skills Statements can be integrated into classroom learning - and to provide classroom teachers with a truly authentic task for either mathematics or CTE courses.

It’s no secret that we are living in a time of rapid economic, technological, and social changes, which are creating a world that is ever more interconnected. One in ten Americans is foreign born, and all of our local communities – urban, suburban, and rural – are growing more diverse. To take advantage of global and local market opportunities, companies want to hire workers with global competence—that is, the capacity and disposition to understand act on issues of global significance. In these lessons, we discuss ways to prepare all students for work and civic roles in an environment where success increasingly requires the ability to compete, connect, and cooperate on an international scale.

Slipstream partnered with Wisconsin’s K-12 Energy Education Program (KEEP) to obtain interviews from several stakeholders that are on the front lines of a clean energy future. In this lesson students hear from two early-career professionals about their work in the solar industry. The lesson includes a link to the clean energy career exploration video Solar Energy Careers - https://youtu.be/metbD3ap8XU

Career and technical education (CTE) programs are increasingly engaging a broad range of stakeholders, including parents and community organizations, to improve CTE programs, better serve students and help communities in need. This resource will focus on ways that CTE educators can communicate with, collaborate with and support current and prospective learners’ families and communities, particularly for learners and communities who have been historically underserved. This publication describes general strategies for engaging these stakeholders, more specific strategies aimed at breaking down barriers to engagement for particular special and underserved population groups, and examples of CTE and career development programs doing promising work in this area.

This resource builds on the success and impact of the Nontraditional Career Preparation Root Causes & Strategies, which focused on identifying evidence- and research-based practices to address equity gaps in nontraditional occupational pathways, especially for women in CTE programs of study leading to STEM jobs. The original “Root Causes” Resource is the backbone for NAPE’s Program Improvement Process for Equity™ (PIPE™). The new Equity in CTE & STEM Root Causes and Strategies is an in-depth analysis of the root causes of inequity and exclusion in CTE and STEM education through an intersectional lens.

Lesson Description:  Overview: When talking to numerous departments at Reinhart Foodservice, all department heads emphasized the need for communication between departments and wanting to hire employees who possess excellent soft skills. For this unit, students will complete a job experience, job shadow, or community service experience where they will observe communication at the workplace as well as note examples of soft skills in the workplace. Students will also explain how they used communication skills and soft skills. Finally, they will present their findings in a PowerPoint presentation.Learning Goals:  Students will be able to:Complete a job experience, job shadow, or community service experienceStudents will articulate soft skills seen in the experienceStudents will explain how they used communication skills and soft skillsStudents will present their findings in a presentation

Students will understand the importance of sending a professional email to an employer, teacher, etc. Students will be able to prepare an effective and professional email.

NAPE’s Program Improvement Process for Equity™ (PIPE™) is a research-based, effective professional development program designed for institutional teams to increase the participation and success of under-represented students in Career and Technical Education (CTE) and STEM (especially in nontraditional pathways). The process is built around five modules that help teams to use data to prioritize and act on program improvement to close equity gaps.

From 2015 to the Present, three cohorts of secondary, postsecondary, and STEM Hub partners have participated in PIPE in order to identify equity gaps (disproportionality) in CTE and STEM, and identify evidence- and researchbased strategies to close those gaps. This Promising Practices handout outlines the lessons learned, key steps for success, suggestions to avoid pitfalls, and helpful reminders for continuous improvement. Root causes are aligned with strategies that have been effective in increasing participation, retention and/or completion in nontraditional (by gender) and other CTE and STEM programs of study.
