ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Concordia University Chicago
Career Technical Education (CTE) and participating in other career learning opportunities are ways to help students gain the skills needed to succeed in college and careers. Students who participate in CTE are more engaged in school and more likely to graduate from high school. The problem is that students who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are not participating in CTE and other career learning opportunities at the same rate as their white counterparts. The purpose of this study was to explore what strategies educators use when engaging BIPOC students. The hope is that by exploring what strategies work and do not work, other educators in this area of expertise can begin to use and adapt them. This study has the potential to help educational leaders think about how their own processes for engaging BIPOC students in CTE and career exploration opportunities. This narrative qualitative study interviewed five educators to learn how they developed strategies to engage BIPOC Students. Each participant had experience working with CTE as well as experience developing career exposure opportunities. This study consisted of two semi-structured interviews that lasted between 60 and 90 minutes. This study found that educational leaders used several strategies to engage BIPPOC students, including building personal relationships, working with families and community, and utilizing data to develop strategies for best practice. The process for strategy refinement resides with desegregating various forms of data in order to get a bigger picture of how they approach strategy development and success. The educators in the study shared engagement strategies and refinement of best practices with other educators through various avenues, including sharing survey data, hosting teacher externships, and coordinating advisory groups and sub-committees.
