Tool Search: CTE
The California CTE tab is used to track data for Career Tech Education (CTE) students. After a record is saved, all fields remain editable.
To be sure CTE students are properly reported, a record should be created for any student who is in a California-designated CTE program with a program status of: Concentrator or Completer.
Fields in the CA CTE Editor are unique to California. Please see below for more information.

CTE Pathway
A coded value representing a Career Technical Education Career Pathway. A Career Technical Education Career Pathway is the second level in a two-tier hierarchy of Career Technical Education Industry Sectors and Career Pathways. This category represents a coherent sequence of rigorous academic and technical courses that allows students to apply academics and develop technical skills in a curricular area. Career pathways prepare students for successful completion of state academic and technical standards and more advanced postsecondary course work related to the career in which they are interested. A pathway must be specified for each CTE concentrator.
Please see the CDE-published CALPADS Code Sets document for more information on assigning Pathway selections.
Concentrator
A CTE concentrator is a student who has completed 50 percent of a planned program sequence (in hours or credits) in a state-recognized CTE sequence and is enrolled in the next course in that sequence, or has completed 50 percent of a single state-recognized multi-hour course and is enrolled in the second half of that course.
