DC CTE Professional Development Conference
2022: Breaking Barriers, August 11–12, 2022
In 2022, we hosted 120 educators, counselors, and admin participating in Carl D. Perkins-funded programs from across the District. Attendees enjoyed two days of networking and learning about CTE instruction best practices, equity and inclusion, program design, and ways to support students in reaching success. The conference may be over, but you can still access presentations and resources from the event.
