Expertise
Curriculum and Instruction
CETE staff members possess unparalleled credentials in curriculum and instruction. Our processes and models can be tailored to meet the needs of professionals in both academic and technical settings.
- Curriculum Development. Our staff members design and develop theoretical
and practical curriculum to provide individuals in the labor pool with knowledge
and skills needed for paid and unpaid work. One example of our expertise lies in
the SCID (Systematic Curriculum and Instructional Development) process. Using a
systematic approach, we identify jobs and tasks, design training and educational
programs, assist in implementing the programs, and evaluate the effectiveness of
the programs. We lead professionals through curriculum development processes as
well as offer products and technical assistance that reflect the integration of
academic and technical learning, problem-based learning, and work-based learning.
- Educational Materials Dissemination. CETE employs a user-centered
approach to dissemination that mediates between expert and local knowledge. Activities
focus on sharing knowledge across the sectors of the workforce development system
and help to influence policy and practice. We provide access to a wide array of
resources in both print and digital formats related to workforce development topics.
- Teacher Training. CETE staff members lead the way in developing
and fostering pathways for teacher certification and licensure. Based on current
research and best practices we create and deliver programs combining coursework,
networking, supervision, and advising—the professional development and supports
needed to prepare teachers for technical licenses.
- Instructor Coaching. With experience in the development of multi-state
teacher mentoring programs, CETE staff members use a combination of online resources,
interactive media, and targeted coaching to create collaborative, supportive learning
environments for teachers. Our techniques are designed to support recruitment, selection,
training, coaching, and retention of qualified teachers in high need, hard to staff
school systems.
