This training process is designed for Art Education students to develop the skills and hours necessary for Career Technology Education Certification (CTE). Spyder Lab has partnered with the Orange County Department of Education, Career and Technical Education (CTE), Orange Unified School District, Monrovia Unified School District, Santa Ana Unified School District, Walnut Valley Unified School District, and California Institute of Technology to roll out 78 identical worker-space labs in our local high schools, 12 are up and running. To date there is a shortfall of qualified CTE certified Art Education instructors within our local high schools.
The Spyder Lab training facility, located in Brea, is where Art Education Students can come to train on the equipment and develop the software, hardware, soft-skills, and pedagogical approaches to instructing high school students within the labs. The training process is a Two-step process. First, Art Education Students will learn both the software and hardware within the lab. (CTE certified instructors must be lifetime learners of technology.) Second, the Art Education Students will be introduced to the pedological approach required for a CTE certification and will practice these skills, as student teachers, within our local high schools. (3000 hours is required for CTE certification.)
Learning Outcomes:

The State of California has made a new line of funding available. This new line of funding is more comprehensive than the old ROP program. To qualify for state funding high school teachers, need to be CTE certified. As undergraduates CSUF Art Education students, they can begin, practice, and master the skills for CTE certification. The CTE certification, along with their single subject credential makes these CSUF students extremely marketable to school employers.
“Career Technical Education, also referred to as CTE, is a multi-year sequence of courses and/or hours that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide high school students with a pathway to post-secondary education and careers. CTE programs deliver an enriched educational experience that promotes student interest and academic success, while also developing technical and soft skills training necessary to meet 21st Century workplace demand. Graduates of today’s rigorous and relevant CTE programs are better prepared for high-wage, high-skill and high demand careers.”
