Join this webinar to gain a common understanding and shared practices and examples.
Learning Outcomes

Participants will understand the Perkins V legislative provisions for supporting the participation of special populations in CTE programs.
-
Participants will be able to identify at least two shared examples of local and or national practices on accountability and participation of special populations.
-
Participants will be able to locate and identify resources shared on accountability and strategies for supporting special populations.
Part two of this series will be scheduled for April 11, 2024.

This past year, a team of Perkins consortia leaders and state CTE staff have been involved in equity training and capacity-building sessions for elevating the voice of students and the community in the CLNA process. The NAPE Equity Academy was designed to engage postsecondary state leaders in (1) adopting an equity lens, (2) building institutional capacity, (3) creating community, and (4) sharing lessons learned with national partners. Join the conversation and hear from our statewide team about this intensive work and the context for how you can elevate student voice in CTE.
