4 CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) ADVISORY BOARD STRUCTURE IN SAINT PAUL PUBLIC SCHOOLS CTE Advisory Board Mission: The Career and Technical Education Advisory Board serves to create awareness of and opportunities for St. Paul Public Schools students to gain real world skills needed for 21st Century careers. The partnership of educators, business, industry and community inspires students through applied curriculum, career exploration, and diverse industry learning experiences creating pathways to higher education and economic security. The Board meets three times a year--late August or early September when the teachers return to school so that all may participate, then in early February and early May. At the latter two meetings all business/ industry partners are present, but only one instructor as teacher representative for each of the 11 Advisory Areas: Academy of Finance, Academy of Information Technology, Agriculture, Automotive, Aviation, Communication, Construction, Family and Consumer Science, Medical Careers, Project Lead the Way (pre-engineering) and Work-Based Learning. (Meeting times for Feb/May are 7:45 networking, 8-9:30AM meeting; August meeting is for 2.5 hours the times of which vary dependent on meeting location. The August meeting is broken down to several Committees meeting together as a smaller group is more conducive). Each Committee then decides on at least one other time they meet as a Committee so that all teachers alone with business/industry partners might meet together. Committees choose date, time, and location for their meetings. February is National Career and Technical Education month. We like to highlight all the great work CTE does throughout the year, but more focus is drawn to this month in particular. Some Committees chose to do a big "WOW" event to really make their area stand out during this month.
