Building a Successful Online CTE Program
Online learning options provide resources for both remote and traditional learning settings—a beneficial feature when emergencies arise. Establishing practices for distance or online education can help districts prepare for a variety of situations, such as prolonged closures from weather, building issues, or student illness or medical event. Even so, online learning is more than just an emergency option and provides several benefits for Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs.

Successful Online CTE Programs & iCEV
Blended Learning Classrooms with iCEV
Online programs offer a wide range of possibilities for developing a custom course design to best fit for the school, curriculum and student population. Courses can be:
-
Completely online with no classroom time
-
Blended or hybrid where classwork and homework have a range of classroom time and online time
-
Fully face-to-face classroom utilizing online curriculum and digital tools to complete course content
Hands-On iCEV Projects & Activities for Workplace Skills
CTE courses need to include hands-on practice of skills to be valuable.
-
Utilizing hybrid classes, direct instruction can take place online and class time can be used to work on hands-on projects and activities
-
When face-to-face class time isn't possible, lesson designs need to be more flexible, enabling students to practice skills and complete projects at home with materials they have on hand
