We invite you to a collaborative workshop designed to modernize CTE assessment practices, ensuring they robustly measure both industry-standard skills and Wyoming state mastery. By refining our evaluation tools, we aim to reduce unnecessary testing burdens and foster a more integrated educational environment where CTE programs fully align with core academic goals rather than remaining siloed. This session focuses on creating a unified assessment framework that validates student expertise without compromising valuable instructional time. Together, we will bridge the gap between classroom standards and professional expectations, ensuring every student is authentically prepared for success in the workforce.
