The Center for Global Education offers professional development and consulting services to Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Chinese language programs.

Career and Technical Education (CTE)

In order to graduate prepared for success and employment in a global economy, career and technical education students must have the workforce readiness skills that will enable them to work on international teams and with people from diverse backgrounds. The workshop Global Competence through CTE: Workforce Readiness Skills for a Global Economy will help educators understand global workforce readiness skills, how they link to career pathways, and how to start integrating global content into what is already being taught in CTE classrooms. This workshop can be customized to meet the specific needs of CTE programs and educators and is available in multiple formats as a half-day, one-day, or two-day session.

Chinese Language Programs

The Deep Coaching Program (DCP) has been designed to build the capacity of Chinese language programs. DCP is a customized approach that strengthens the Chinese language program and teaching at the district and school levels. 

Based on an initial analysis, our team tailors the DCP to address issues specific to your Chinese language program. We also provide teachers with group and individual coaching that focuses on implementation and best practices based on the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages and the ACTFL Core Practices.
