The goals of  CSISD Career and Technology Education Department are in line with the plan established by the 74th Texas Legislature in TEC §29.181: 

Each public school student shall master the basic skills and knowledge necessary for:

• managing the dual roles of family member and wage earner; and

• gaining entry-level employment in a high-skill, high-wage job or continuing the student's education at the postsecondary level.

 

The seven objectives in the state plan are based on elements that contribute to effective Career and Technology Education programs: 

• academic excellence as defined in No Child Left Behind;

• quality career guidance and counseling;

• partnerships that benefit students and schools;

• rigorous academic and technical curricula supporting seamless career pathways;

• professional development for educators to enhance teaching and learning;

• ongoing quantitative and qualitative data evaluation of student performance; and

• administrative leadership necessary for program effectiveness and compliance.
