**Please note this PL series is designed for middle school staff. :)
Selecting a high school can be challenging for many families yet serves as a pivotal milestone. Selecting a high school that meets students' academic needs, career interest, and self-expression is critical to ensuring students not only begin high school but remain engaged in learning, on-track to graduate, and enroll in a postsecondary option of their choosing. Recognizing the positive impact Career and Technical Education(CTE) programs have on graduation rate and educational outcomes of Multilingual Learners/English Language Learners (ML,ELL), you are invited to join this professional learning community to learn about CTE and how to ensure ML/ELL students and families understand CTE programs as an option for them, as well as its benefits.
