Arizona CTE Curriculum Consortium

One of the best parts of this work is getting to recognize people who are doing great things for CTE teachers and students—and this was certainly one of those moments.

It was such a pleasure to celebrate Scottsdale Unified as a 25-26 AZCTECC Member of Distinction at their recent Governing Board meeting. This recognition is so well deserved.

At this week's Governing Board meeting, SUSD was proud to recognize the Scottsdale Unified School District CTE team for being named a 2025–2026 Arizona Career and Technical Education Curriculum Consortium Member of Distinction.

As one of the inaugural recipients of this prestigious recognition, Scottsdale Unified has helped set the standard for excellence in Career and Technical Education across Arizona.

This honor recognizes the district's outstanding commitment to advancing high-quality CTE programs through educator collaboration, professional learning, innovative curriculum development, and meaningful partnerships that prepare students for college, careers, and beyond.

Congratulations to our Career and Technical Education team on this outstanding achievement.

Looking for valuable collaboration with CTE colleagues from across Arizona (and ADE credit for certification deficiencies for attendees)?
