CTE Pathways: Avenues to Support Student Success

Submitted by Oracle, Gold Sponsor of the Advance CTE 2021 Spring Meeting

One of the many advantages of being the Oracle Academy Regional Director for North America is the opportunity to talk with educational leaders from all over the nation. I spend time learning, sharing ideas, celebrating successes, and understanding challenges that these leaders face each day. One of my fundamental beliefs, which has been confirmed by many of these conversations, is that the Career Technical Education (CTE) Career Clusters provide the opportunity for students to travel an industry-relevant pathway that is representative of the U.S. economy. These pathways provide the opportunity for students to gain industry-relevant skills, to apply those skills to solve complex problems, and then leverage those skills to become leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs of the future.  

As Oracle’s philanthropic education program, Oracle Academy is dedicated to providing innovative technology and industry-related teaching resources to educators dedicated to student success as they travel through these pathways. These resources include curriculum, educator professional development, cloud technologies and professional certification information designed to help educators provide an authentic CTE learning experience.

One of the key ways to continue to support student success, perhaps now more than ever, is to ensure our educators have the opportunity for the best professional development with virtual learning options available. To support educators in meeting this need, Oracle Academy offers free, proven expert computing education curriculum. These curriculum resources focus on database, Java, Oracle cloud access, computing teaching and learning, software and more—all free and available using only a browser. 

Our Summer/Fall virtual training classes for educators include the following:
