Abstract

This chapter is limited to addressing career and technical education (CTE) programs from Grades 7-12 and two-year CTE associate of arts degree programs. Other programs related to gender equity in CTE are covered in greater depth elsewhere in this volume (see chapter 12, "Gender Equity in Mathematics," chapter 13, "Gender Equity in Science, Engineering, and Technology" and chapter 30 "Improving Gender Equity in Postsecondary Education"). This chapter first provides an overview of the federal public policy history related to gender equity in CTE, and then summarizes the current data on gender equity in CTE. A brief review of the root causes of gender inequity in CTE, both within and outside the control of educators, is followed by a discussion of strategies currently in place. The chapter continues by highlighting four excellent CTE gender-equity programs and concludes with recommendations for public policymakers, local schools and communities, and researchers.
