CTE teachers bring knowledge and information that assists the IEP team with defining the graduation pathway, course of study, transition services and other activities that will lead to success for the student both in school and in the work world. CTE teachers can provide information about CTE courses and concentrations, credentials, and help align the IEP and HSBP.
