ESC Region 11 CTE
A Note from Lisa and Chelsea
Hello CTE Friends,
It's June, and you have successfully completed another school year! We hope you all take a moment to breathe in deep and let out the sigh that comes with a great accomplishment. As much of your staff go off contract, we realize there is still much work to be done to close out 2021-22 and prepare for 2022-23. Hopefully, that work happens in a more casual atmosphere with a bit of a summer vibe!
This time of year, many CTE-focused grants, TEA reports, and professional development opportunities are released. We have included much information on all these things below. We encourage you to organize necessary connections as your staff changes. Please include us, and have new additions to your CTE family connect to our listserv and our website! We are excited to roll out a new website this summer to better serve you.
For those going off-contract for the summer or just planning for a little summer vacation time, please engage in well-needed rest and relaxation! Soak in some sun, visit with family and friends, enjoy a vacation or staycation and recharge your batteries. We will be here to serve you this summer and look forward to seeing you at upcoming professional learning!
Best regards,
Lisa and Chelsea

Performance Reporting
A–F Accountability
The College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Verifier will be available in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application from Wednesday, May 25 to June 22. The CCMR Verifier provides districts an opportunity to verify the accuracy of their CCMR data and, if needed, submit official documentation to correct data. CCMR indicators determined by TSDS PEIMS submissions are not eligible for corrections and, therefore, will not be shown. The CCMR Verifier will contain data for 2020-21 annual graduates and non-graduating 12th graders.

Career and Technical Education Teacher Professional Development Update
The Texas Education Agency will host four regional convenings to provide professional development for Career and Technical Education teachers. These trainings will prepare CTE teachers with enhanced classroom management skills, new instructional strategies, an exploration of different learning styles, and a deep dive into TEKS and program standards.
The CTE Teacher PD developers at ESC Region 20 recognize the effect that COVID-19 has had on each classroom - including the strain that the substitute shortage across the state has placed on school districts and charter schools. The regional design of these convenings reflects a concerted effort to shorten travel while still providing quality professional development. We hope you can join us as we partner with you in your region.
