176. Key Messages
• Career Education will be a primary feature of a
transformed high school system.
• The line separating CTE and academics must be
erased.
• The public and policy makers expect the the K-12
and Higher Education systems to work together.
• It is imperative that we abandon parochial and
isolationist traditions and deliberately align/design
our systems at all levels to increase student
outcomes.
CTE in the Future, 20th Annual CALCP/CAROCP Conference, Patrick Ainsworth
Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent, Director Secondary Postsecondary and Adult Leadership
Division, November 20, 2008
180. The challenges for CTE in New York City schools include:
Tradition and negative perception in the City;
Uneven performance across the City’s CTE schools;
Limited access & opportunity to enroll in innovative programs;
Insufficient preparation for postsecondary success;
Inadequate integration in classroom instruction;
Seat time versus competency-based pathways to graduation;
Definitions of student success;
Disjointed management of industry engagement;
Disproportionate distribution of resources; and
Limited opportunity for CTE innovation.
181. “Like many school systems, Maryland's Charles County Public Schools
had different tracks for high school students who were going on to college and
those pursuing vocational training. This outdated model ultimately reduced the
status of voc ed to a lower level than academic programs. James Richmond, our
district superintendent, championed the idea of a 21st- century school that would
bring vocational and academic students
together in one facility.”

217. Growing evidence shows that pathways
hold promise for reducing high school
dropout rates, increasing academic
achievement and learning, and increasing
students’ earning power when they
graduate. Equally compelling, studies
show that students enrolled in pathways
perform as well as their traditionally
educated counterparts on key measures.”

• Preparation not on “job” preparation, but
on “academic and technical” preparation
