           Career Technical Education:  Creating Options for High School Success 

            In its study of career technical education, the Little Hoover Commission found encouraging evidence that CTE - in its modern, academically demanding form - can deliver an alternative approach to learning that can keep students engaged, help improve grade point averages and prepare students for both the work world and higher education. In their visits to career-oriented high schools in Sacramento and San Diego, Commissioners saw the new CTE at its best, academically demanding, rigorous and relevant, clearly engaging students who may, in other settings, have been at risk for dropping out.

            The research, though encouraging, is not comprehensive. Far more is needed to determine what works in CTE classrooms to boost student outcomes, including proficiency on California's achievement tests. Evaluation should be a condition of receiving any new CTE money.
