CTE Introduction Implementation Plan Instruction Sheet
Please note that this is a NEW CTE Introduction Implementation Plan.
Please read it carefully and complete ALL sections fully, including teacher name, email and qualifying endorsement.
Note 1: The form asks for the schedule of rotation at your school. IF you present CTE
Introduction in any other format than trimester, you will need to officially request
approval (form included). You will then need to apply and receive approval from the
USOE each year to receive funding. Please note that CTE Introduction is designed to
be a trimester course.
Note 2: The new form asks schools to indicate the grade level of students in the CTE
Introduction program. Programs not in compliance may compromise funding.
Note 3: The new form asks for the CTE Introduction Team to identify the trimester in
which each standard and objective is taught. This is meant as a planning tool to help
teams identify that all standards are being taught during the course. This part of the
form is in a simple checklist format.
