What is the CTE EOP?
- 11th and 12th graders who have successfully passed 2 courses in their pathway are eligible to test.
- The tests are designed to measure students' understanding of standards identified by Kentucky employers and their knowledge of their CTE pathway.
- Not all pathways have CTE EOP tests. There has to be an agreement to give college credit at a Kentucky university for passing the test (called an articulation agreement) in order for it to be administered.
- Tates Creek will be administering the CTE EOP assessments to eligible 11th and 12th graders from March 20th-31st.
- Scores will be released in May. All students who pass will be recognized and receive a certificate from the Kentucky Commissioner of Education.
