This course is designed for educators to realign/reassess/develop CTE program curriculum to document complete units of study for each of the selected program proficiencies. The source of this work is based on the recent adoption of the Vermont Agency of Education’s CTE Program Proficiencies. Educators will utilize the VTC Teacher Prep Unit Planning Template to document complete units of study through a lens of social and emotional learning by incorporating engagement strategies to help strengthen executive functioning skills to better promote student learning within the context of proficiency-based learning. Each unit of study will have at least one complete lesson plan that is based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Every educator will set their own project of work with due dates and deadlines in conjunction with the instructor (within the time span of the course).
