High-quality CTE should provide supports that allow every learner to access, stay in, and succeed in all aspects of a CTE program. This webinar series from ACTE and Advance CTE will focus on strategies to support the nine learner groups identified as special populations by the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins V), as well as emerging populations that may need additional support. Join state and local CTE leaders as they discuss common challenges and promising solutions across data collection and analysis; cross-sector collaboration; instructional supports; flexible and accelerated learning policies; wraparound supports, and more.

The first webinar in this series explored supporting special populations through data access, collection and analysis strategies such as sharing data with other agencies and organizations, navigating self-disclosure, and analyzing data to investigate and close performance gaps.
