CCTE Liaisons to School Districts and Public Two-Year Colleges

CCTE Liaisons provide direct and ongoing support to districts. Liaisons coordinate resources to assist districts in the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of high-quality systems, structures, and programs for college and career readiness in Massachusetts. Liaisons are assigned by region to build a depth of knowledge in both the educational and economic landscape of the region. DESE's CCTE team practices tiered support where the assigned liaison is a resource to the region in sharing information and answering questions as they arise, while also maintaining a portfolio of schools within the district assigned based on pathway designations and federal funding, with whom they meet regularly and work towards shared goals. A complete list of liaisons organized by district and school and for all districts by region is available.
