Education for Employment
Education for Employment involves one of the Wisconsin Educational Standards. Referred to as PI-26 (Standard M), Wisconsin state law requires each school district to have a strategic 5-year plan for connecting students to and preparing young people for, the world of work. The CTE Department has a state-certified coordinator that can provide leadership in assessment, planning, and accountability of overall programming.
Educational Equity
Educational Equity involves topics such as Pupil Non-discrimination, non-traditional careers and training programming, and bullying and harassment. Educational equity is a concern for all school districts. It only takes one incident to cost your school district thousands of dollars and precious staff time to deal with it. The CESA 8 CTE Department is dedicated to assisting districts with state pupil non-discrimination reporting, providing non-traditional career awareness for staff and students, data collection and analysis, and building positive school climates.
