Eastern Oregon University is offering courses for Career and Technical Education (CTE) instructors that meet the requirements of the Teacher Standards and Practices Oregon Administrative Rules for individuals who hold the CTE I license. These courses may be of interest to those who are considering a career in CTE or current teachers who are seeking professional development.
The first course in the series was offered in winter term 2015. One or two new courses will be added each term until a full complement of courses meeting all CTE I requirements is offered every term. The courses are offered at the credit overlay price, currently $100 per credit. These courses are intended to be self-paced modules, allowing the student maximum flexibility for completion of the courses on an independent schedule, within the framework of the academic term. All registrations need to be submitted no later than the Friday of the third week of the EOU term and course participation must begin no later than the fourth week of the term. All coursework must be completed no later than the Friday of the week of finals.

Note: Focus on curricular theory and planning through units and daily lessons. The identification of instructional goals, activities to achieve goals through student learning, and appropriate measurement means for those goals is a primary task of this course. Instructional models most pertinent to CTE are combined with standards based curricular design using Common Core State Standards, Oregon Skill Sets, Next Generation Science Standards, and other applicable national standards. Particular focus on STEM design within CTE promotes a cross curricular approach with real world application. Measurement practices (including traditional and proficiency models) which emphasize the attainment of skills will be included alongside rubric development for performance-based assessments.
Course focuses on the applied mathematics used in technical careers. Mathematical concepts are taught in the context of their use in electronics, construction, programming, agriculture and mechanics.
