Shoreline CTE - Program of Study 2016-201

Career and Technical Education (CTE) 

Washington believes a comprehensive education culminates in 21st century readiness for college, careers and civic responsibility. We believe in students prepared to flourish in a dynamic, global economy.

State CTE courses exemplify the intentional synthesis of technical knowledge and skills, traditional academics, and 21st century skills as outlined by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.

CTE is at the front of innovation in education in Shoreline and Washington. There is nothing more exciting than seeing students engaged in studies that push them to their limits and spark their imaginations. It is our state’s responsibility to prepare all students for success in career, college and life. CTE programs in Shoreline are aligned with rigorous industry and academic standards. Teachers participate in meaningful professional development on curricula and instruction, standards and assessment, and academic integration. Program partnerships and advisories communicate this vision with business and industry partners. Such programs meet the demands of the new economy.
