ESD 105 supports districts in aligning Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs to meet Washington State Basic Education requirements—ensuring students can earn graduation credits through relevant, career-connected coursework.

Through this support, we help districts design and implement CTE courses that qualify for core academic credit and meet state standards.

Support includes:

• Alignment of CTE courses to core academic subject areas (e.g., math, science, English, equivalency credits)
• Development of crosswalks and documentation required for OSPI approval
• Guidance on course equivalency and graduation credit alignment
• Support with course approval processes and submissions
• Integration of career-connected learning with academic standards
• Collaboration with district and instructional leaders to ensure rigor and compliance

This work ensures students can meet graduation requirements while engaging in relevant, applied learning experiences that connect directly to career pathways.
