CTE Online News
Our team is completing final reviews of the lessons written by this year’s CTE teachers from across the state of California. Due to the ongoing pandemic, our Fall and Spring Institutes were conducted virtually, each with two days of intensive curriculum development instruction.
After each Institute, teachers independently developed four lessons in their CTE area supported by a Team Lead. From there, the lessons go through two additional levels of review before core content experts align them to standards.
By this July, all 176 new lessons will be available to educators across the state (and the world) for free at www.cteonline.org.

​CTE Online by the Numbers:

• 44 Educators in Institutes this year
• 6 Team Leads supporting our educators
• 3 Standards Matchers identifying core academic content standards
• 176 total lessons written this year
• CTE Online currently has over 141,000 users

Based on a CDE survey, CTE Online lessons plans were identified by CTE Teachers as their most-used resource!

Testimonial
“CTE Online is far and away the best for making us work at producing good lessons for the site... I am a better instructor having written and used lessons from CTE Online.”
