Along with the training, each participant will receive TEKS aligned curriculum and supporting teacher materials, including video and free online resources such as TexasWorkPrep.com, Reality Check, High School Graduation Plan, Career Investigation and Career Success interactive newspapers and the TexasCARESonline.com. In addition, classroom sets of materials will be provided. This training is open to anyone who would like to learn more about the Labor Market and/or would like to receive the wonderful materials provided by the TEA. However, only CTE certified teachers would be eligible for certification to teach these courses.
