CTE Programs and Computer Science Education

School district computer science programs are often accompanied by CS and technology related CTE pathways. Visit the resources below to learn how to develop complementary computer science and CTE pathways for your district.

CTE Program Recommendations from ECEP and Code.org

Rethinking Perkins to Expand Access to K-12 Computer Science Education

Expanding Computer Education Pathways (ECEP) collaborated with Code.org on a document that helps state and district leaders consider how Career and Technical Education (CTE) can support computer science (CS) education. “Rethinking Perkins to Expand Access to K-12 Computer Science” was co-written by the two organizations and released in fall 2016. 


CTE, which is federally funded under the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act ("Perkins V"), is one way to increase access to computer science. 


The document suggests that:

  • CS courses be offered in both CTE and non-CTE programs
  • CS courses should be available to students in and not in CTE pathways
  • CS courses could be taught by CTE and non-CTE teachers
  • an AP CS exam could substitute for an end-of-CTE-pathway certification

NEWBURGH CTE SPOTLIGHT ON COMPUTER SCIENCE

Learn about how the Newburgh Enlarged City School District (NFA) developed their complementary CS and CTE pathways for students. Scholars who are part of the Newburgh Computer Science and Coding Pathway learn essential skills that will prepare them for both college and career in computer science fields. 

Note: NFA does not have a state approved CS + CTE pathway.
