Digital Content Resources - Career and Technical Education Teacher Resources

The resources below were compiled by NYSED's Office of Career and Technical Education to assist career and technical education teachers during extended closures due to COVID-19.  The resources are intended to provide ideas and sources of inspiration only; NYSED does not require, recommend, endorse, or advise on any specific program or product. All instructional decisions are made at the local level.

In addition, the Career and Technical Education Technical Assistance Center (CTE TAC) is preparing/compiling online professional development resources for CTE Educators to use during school closures due to COVID-19.  The CTE TAC operates under a state contract to assist NYSED in carrying out its mission of improving the quality, access, and delivery of career and technical education through research-based methods and strategies resulting in broader CTE opportunities for all students.
