Academic-Technical Education (CTE)
The curriculum area called Academic-Technical Education has been called Career-Technical Education for several years. You see both used at this time; sometimes you may see the acronym CTE. In USD 417, this area includes the following:
- K-8 Keyboarding-Technology
- MS and HS Technology Module Labs
- HS Business, HS Agriculture, and HS Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS)
The USD 417 K-8 Keyboarding-Technology curriculum was completed by the K-12 Key-Tech Subject Area Committee (SAC) during the 07-08 school year. This new curriculum is being piloted during the 2008-09 school year. Our local curriculum is aligned with the Kansas Technology Literacy Standards as well as being aligned from grade level to grade level K-8.

(Our new Career Education curriculum should be available this spring.)
