Edmentum Adds Career Technical Education Courses to Plato CoursewareMINNEAPOLIS --(Business Wire)-- Educators can now prepare students for a wide range of in-demand technical careers using new Career Technical Education (CTE) courses from Edmentum, a leading provider of online learning solutions. Eight CTE courses are available now for Edmentum's standards-based Plato Courseware online curriculum, with an additional 24 courses scheduled for release in 2014. The CTE courses are all mobile-friendly for "anytime, anywhere" use and feature interactive, video-rich content to engage learners. The courses are aligned to the CTE National Career Clusters® framework, which was developed by the National Association of State Directors of Career Technial Education Consortium (NASDCTEc) as an organizational structure for CTE programs. "CTE has proven to be a critical link between the education system and the changing job market, providing a pathway for students into high-skill and high-demand professions," said Andrew Plackner, senior product manager for Edmentum. "These new Plato Courseware offerings will allow students to explore a greater variety of interests. The new courses also can help educators engage with students who might feel disconnected from core curriculum or need help preparing for paths other than attending a four-year college." Educators can customize the Plato Courseware CTE offerings, which are available for middle school, high school and post-secondary, to meet their unique needs. The courses can be implemented in a lab setting, in a virtual experience or through a blended learning environment that incorporates both online and traditional classroom courses. Edmentum provides the CTE courses through a range of flexible packages to meet the specific needs of educators, schools or districts.
