CV-TEC is dedicated to a collaborative approach for excellence in Career & Technical Education. It is the CVES Mission that “CVES empowers students, schools and communities by providing exemplary education, training, support and shared services,” and the mission of the CV-TEC Division “to prepare students for success in careers and life-long learning including post-secondary education.” CV-TEC is dedicated to our mission and committed to continuing and intensifying the long-standing tradition of excellence at CV-TEC.

CV-TEC is dedicated to teaching students both industry and work-readiness skills in a variety of career and technical education areas, as well as to provide support and instruction in the core academic and related areas. All CV-TEC CTE two-year programs are approved by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) as CTE Approved Programs of Study. Students in our programs can earn high school credit toward graduation, advanced college credit, industry certifications/credentials/licenses, participate in work-based learning activities (including paid and unpaid work experiences) and are eligible for the NYS Board of Regents Advanced Designation: CTE Endorsement. Core academic instruction is an integral part of all the CTE programs as well as 21st Century & Work Readiness Skills development.
Remote Learning: CV-TEC Division Expectations
Full Online Learning (Levels 4 & 5)
In a full online learning environment, CV-TEC teachers and staff will use Office 365 and Microsoft Teams to connect with students, deliver instruction, post assignments, and administer assessments. Teachers will utilize this platform to deliver instruction and to continue to foster positive relationships with students. Microsoft Teams & Microsoft Stream will be used to deliver lessons and to provide CTE demonstrations of program-related skills. In some cases, teachers and staff will work with students one-on-one to assess skill acquisition. Teachers will utilize CTE specific demonstration videos and/or appropriate YouTube videos to assist with the delivery of the CTE curriculum. Teachers will also collaborate with industry partners and advisory committee members to provide CTE specific demonstrations and facilitated instruction. Teachers will also incorporate CTE simulation activities provided through a variety of career and technical education publishers. All assignments and projects will continue to align with related technical assessments and industry certifications that will continue to be offered virtually wherever possible.
The CV-TEC academic teachers will work with students on completion of required integrated and specialized activities such that credits in the approved academic areas can be awarded to students. They will also support teachers with technology needs. Academic Teachers will deliver remote instruction based on the master schedule and the individual needs of the component districts. Academic classes will be scheduled separately and in addition to CTE instruction.
For accountability, students are expected to participate daily with their CTE teacher (daily attendance will be recorded) and complete a minimum of work per week based on their CTE Program of Study requirements. Students with technology needs will be addressed by the building principal. IEP accommodations will be followed as closely as possible. English Language Learners will receive translated materials and online curriculum resources will be offered in a variety of languages. School Counselors will check in with students who historically have needed additional support and who are not completing work. Parents and home School Counselors will also be kept informed of individual student situations.
Administrators will meet at least once per week via Microsoft Teams with CV-TEC faculty and staff and additional weekly meetings and/or virtual office hours per building will be established for CV-TEC faculty and staff to address and check-in on student engagement and delivery of curriculum, and to offer whatever support is needed.

Remote Instruction/Staff On-Site/No Students (Level 4)
CV-TEC will implement the same protocols as Full Remote Learning outlined in Level 5. Staff will provide remote instruction from the CV-TEC Campuses and students will not be on campus. However, scheduling of students may need to be adjusted based on the component districts’ master schedules.
Hybrid/Blended Model/Both Live & Remote Instruction (Level 3)
Two-Day Rotation Blended Learning
A separate CTE Cohort with two CTE subgroups: First Year CTE Cohort (FYCTE) & Second Year CTE Cohort (SYCTE) to be scheduled by each Component District
In a blended learning environment, teachers will be on campus five days per week. The CTE students will be divided into two cohorts: First Year and Second Year. Only one cohort will participate in live instruction at a time. The reduction to first year or second year on-site is to accommodate social distancing and to reduce the transportation requirements of the component districts. There will be no students on-site one day per week to allow for cleaning and sanitation. CV-TEC teachers will be on-site on this “no-students” day providing remote instruction and support to students who need additional instruction, re-teaching, IEP requirements, etc.
Students will work off-site as per their home-school schedule to complete required coursework and will report to their assigned CV-TEC campus two days per week to engage in live CTE hands-on instruction. CV-TEC teachers will provide live on-site lessons while the cohort is scheduled to be on their respective CV-TEC Campus. CV-TEC teachers will use Microsoft Teams to connect with students, post assignments, and give traditional assessments (tests and quizzes) remotely. Students on campus will engage in their program of study competencies and to gain critical hands-on experience. Teachers will assess skill attainment at this time through blueprint competencies, student engagement, technical skills, and employability skills. Teachers will also engage with advisory committee and industry partners to provide demonstrations as well as assign real-life simulation activities provided through a variety of career and technical education publishers. All assignments and projects will continue to align with NYSED approved programs of study, state blueprints/standards, related technical assessments and industry certifications that will be completed while students are on campus.
The CV-TEC academic teachers will work with students on completion of required integrated and specialized academic activities such that credits in the approved academic areas can be awarded to students. Academic Teachers will deliver both in-person and remote instruction based on the master schedule and the individual needs of the component districts. Academic classes will be included in a master schedule constructed by the building principal for each campus in conjunction with the Academic Services Coordinator.
For accountability, students are expected to be present and engaged for the duration of the sessions when their cohort is scheduled to be on campus for live instruction. Students with technology needs will be addressed by the building principal. IEP accommodations will be followed as closely as possible. English Language Learners will receive translated materials and online curriculum resources will be offered in a variety of languages. School Counselors will check in with students who historically have needed additional support and who are not completing work. Parents and home School Counselors will also be kept informed of individual student situations.
Administrators will meet at least once per week via Microsoft Teams with CV-TEC staff and additional weekly meetings and/or virtual office hours per building will be established for CV-TEC staff to address and check-in on student engagement and delivery of curriculum, and to offer whatever support is needed.
Equity:
Live Instruction/Staff & Students On-Site (Level 2)
A separate CTE Cohort with two CTE subgroups: First Year CTE Cohort (FYCTE) & Second Year CTE Cohort (SYCTE) to be scheduled by each Component District

However, the sessions will need to be shortened to accommodate cleaning and disinfecting due two unique cohorts of students arriving on campus and utilizing tools, equipment, and facilities on a daily basis.
