Rigor and Relevance: A New Vision for Career and Technical Education

Rigor and Relevance: A New Vision for Career and Technical Education

 

Synopsis

This paper presents not only a new vision of how federal funding for CTE should be used, but also proposals about changing the way funding flows and who gets it. This paper recommends moving from a state grant program to a competitive grant approach. While nothing is more controversial and provocative than changing funding formulas, it is possible that changing the funding flow will ultimately have a larger impact on bringing about change and improvement in CTE programs than tinkering with the current grant program.
