Career & Technical Education (CTE)

Region 10 is committed to providing research-based, field tested, high quality professional development and support for educators as they navigate the world of CCMR to prepare students for all post secondary opportunities.
Digital Learning Solutions
The Digital Learning Solutions Team believes that the innovative use of technology empowers learners. Professional learning should be a hands-on, relevant experience for educators, one that can be replicated in schools and districts to increase motivation and engagement. These best practices ensure educators leverage technology to transform learning.

As the fiscal agent of a SSA, Region 10 submits grant applications, compliance reports, financial reports, and all other required documentation to TEA.

Mentor / New Teacher Program
Our mission is to provide a canopy of support while empowering, challenging, and inspiring new teachers for student success. Our program is designed to equip new teachers with academic and behavioral strategies for achievement of all students through a viable mentor program that supports new teachers’ professional growth and promotes leadership of new teachers on the campus and in the community.
Multilingual Support Services
The Region 10 English Learner Cooperative serves member districts by providing English Learner support and staff development. In carrying out activities with Title III, Part A funds, the LEA (district) must use scientifically based research approaches and methodologies to teach Emergent Bilingual/English Learner (EB/EL) children and immigrant children and youth (ESSA).
Reggie's Robots
'Reggie' is a VGO robot that provides an innovative solution for students to participate in the classroom from home or the hospital. Over the years, Reggie has helped students stay connected with their peers and teachers while recovering from injuries, illness or other factors that prevent them from being in the classroom. Reggie allows the student to develop strong teacher and peer relationships, stay socially connected, boost morale, provide tangible health benefits, and receive quality instruction without falling behind on coursework.
TEKS Resource System (TRS)
The TEKS Resource System team is continually working to provide all viable curricular and assessment components. The curriculum of the TEKS Resource System aligns with state-adopted standards, including content connections, formative and summative assessment items, and support resources.
Texas Strategic Staffing
Texas Strategic Staffing is a 2-year process in which a district and EPP commit to designing and implementing a paid teacher residency program that is sustainably funded by reallocating district resources to compensate teacher residents who take on additional instructional responsibilities in the district while completing a year-long teacher residency program.
World Languages
Our program provides professional development for world languages teachers by offering a variety of courses such as Language Assessment Academy, Planning for World Language Instruction, World Language Administrator Training to name a few, plus online learning and an annual World Language Summit.
