CTE Curriculum Revitalization Initiative
ISBE’s CTE division has worked to provide resources for teachers and student teachers through the Curriculum Revitalization Initiative (CRI). The CRI effort generated the CRI web site where all resources are deposited for easy access to CTE curriculum material. The mission of this web site resource is to enhance the instructional program improvement of career and technical education (CTE) programs throughout Illinois by aligning lessons with the Illinois Learning Standards, content-specific National Standards, Workplace Skills, and Occupational Skills Standards.
The purpose is to distribute lesson plans that address Illinois Learning Standards for mathematics, science, English/language arts, social studies, etc. and include Power Point slide sets, sample test items and assessments, and other reference materials to Illinois educators in the four CTE curricular areas of:
- Business, Marketing and Computer Education
- Family and Consumer Sciences
- Health Science Technology
- Technology and Engineering Education (Industrial)
