CTE Program Review Update for Construction, STEM/Engineering, Health Sciences

With the COVID-19 pandemic closing schools, Heartland AEA has had to update its plans for CTE program review kick-off. This spring and the fall, the CTE programs of Construction, STEM/Engineering, & Health Sciences will be able to work on their RPP CTE Review. This link lists programs by district that are mandated for review. The RPP Review team will review programs from Oct. - Dec. 2020. Teachers must complete program review forms by October.

In order to allow those teachers, who have programs that will be reviewed in the fall, to start working if they wish, a zoom meeting was held on April 15. Here is a link to the recording of that zoom. Our intent is to hold a face-to-face meeting this summer if the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and it is safe to meet. If you have questions, contact Heartland AEA Regional Director T.J. Jumper.
