Advisory Committees

By law, all CTE programs should be evaluated annually.
- The evaluation guidelines are available on the on the CTE page of the TEA website.
- An industry advisory committee meets with CTE program staff to assist in the evaluation and assessment of these programs.
The membership of an advisory committee should include:
- members of local businesses and industries
- educators
- a school board member (to keep the board informed on what is going on in current CTE programs)
- parents of students who are members of special populations
The advisory committee should be as demographically diverse as the community it serves
The advisory committee should meet a minimum of twice a year; once in the fall and once in the spring.
- In the fall, an initial meeting is held where data from the previous year is reviewed.
- In the spring, the advisory members, our business and industry community partners, parents, and students meet and evaluate the CTE programs from the year.
What if our CTE program does not have an advisory committee?
- obtain the Handbook for Advisory Committees
- utilize this book to form an industry based advisory committee
