Career and Technical Education
Math-in-CTE (career and technical education) is a program developed by the National Research Center for Career & Technical Education and intended for implementation in secondary CTE programs. Under this program, secondary CTE teachers, in collaboration with mathematics teachers, completed an established program of associated professional development and jointly prepared Math-in-CTE lessons that were implemented in the CTE classroom.
Lesson plans and other materials developed in these workshops are available through the links below.
