Graduate Certificate
The goal of the 9 credit Advanced Graduate Certificate in Advanced Career Technical Education (CTE) Fundamentals is to ensure that CTE teachers’ technical knowledge and skills remain current in order to adequately prepare students for the technically enhanced work environments. Given that the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) links funding to student outcomes, students in the schools must now demonstrate proficiency on technical assessment covering industry-recognized standards. Teachers, therefore, must be technically current and this 9 credit certificate will focus on providing teachers the opportunity for this to occur.
