This is the second annual report from researchers at the Career & Technical Education Policy Exchange (CTEx) to study how state contexts affect participation in high school CTE programs. Thomas Goldring, Celeste Carruthers, Shaun Dougherty, Daniel Kreisman, and Roddy Theobald provide the latest-available CTE participation data for Massachusetts (MA), Michigan (MI), and Tennessee (TN), and we add trends in Washington (WA), which is a new CTEx partner state. We utilize these data to learn how state contexts inform our understanding of what drives participation in CTE programs and how it might impact subsequent educational outcomes for high school students.
