Director, Cte, K-12 Stem, And Support Programs
CurrentAs Director, Support Programs, CTE and STEM for Downey Unified School District, I am responsible for the entire Career and Technical Education (CTE) program which supports over 10,000 students grades K-12. The Downey Unified School District is on the cutting edge of educational practices. Under my supervision we have developed twelve comprehensive "Career Pathways" that are fully articulated with our local post secondary educational institutions. In addition, our Project Lead The Way Engineering program and curriculum begins in the Kindergarten with the "Launch" Program, continues into the middle grades with the "Gateway To Technology" curriculum, followed by the four "Project Lead The Way" pathways in the high schools. I am responsible for a number of other programs such as Elementary Physical Education, Physical Fitness testing, middle school sports, and the GATE program.
