In this Q&A blog post, Amy Hodge, a policy associate at Advance CTE, speaks with Network researcher and co-Principal Investigator Shaun Dougherty to learn more about the outcomes of his team's study examining the causal impact of attending the Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS), an independent district of choice composed of 16 high schools where all students participate in some form of CTE. The study's findings should be meaningful to state leaders who are interested in improving CTE data quality to improve programming and learner supports.

This blog post is the last in a Q&A series featuring interviews with three of our Network researchers to highlight new and relevant CTE research and how state CTE leaders might leverage the findings to make evidence-based decisions. Advance CTE is producing the series in partnership with the CTE Research Network.
