New Eduthings FeaturesEnhance Career and Technical Education Programs

As Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs gain momentum across the United States, innovative platforms are stepping up to support educators and students alike. One such platform is Eduthings from iCEV, which has been adopted by various school districts, including Aldine Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, and Miami-Dade County Public Schools. By streamlining data management, Eduthings equips CTE leaders with the tools they need to ensure educational success and increased student agency.

The Growing Demand for CTE Programs

As industries evolve and workforce gaps emerge, the importance of CTE programs becomes even more pronounced. With increased focus on vocational skills and technical training, CTE programs facilitate pathways for students to enter competitive job markets. However, managing vast amounts of data related to student participation and outcomes can be overwhelming for educators.

Eduthings: A Game Changer for CTE

The Eduthings platform has been designed specifically to address these challenges. By introducing features that enhance data management and reporting, Eduthings is transforming how CTE programs operate. The recent updates not only bolster educator efficiencies but also amplify student involvement through various interactive components:

• - Student-Entered CTSO Participation: Students can now record their own participation in Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), ensuring data accuracy and fostering a sense of ownership.
• - Student Journaling for Work-Based Learning: Students have the opportunity to journal their work-based learning experiences, providing educators with invaluable insights into the perceived relevance and value of these real-world engagements.
• - Certification Uploads: The platform allows students to upload images or documents of their earned certifications, reducing administrative burden for teachers and ensuring accurate records.

Insights from CTE Leaders

“The ability to continually track CTE data and gather insights directly from students is crucial for program adaptation,” notes Clayton Franklin, Chief Product Officer at iCEV. This sentiment is echoed by Brooke Martin, the executive director of CTE in Aldine Independent School District, who remarked on how Eduthings enables her team to monitor student pathways and industry opportunities effectively.

With features such as a Work-Based Learning job opportunities search tool and enhanced student organization reporting, Eduthings empowers educators to make data-driven decisions that resonate with student needs and workforce expectations.
