Our Signature Framework

The CTE Advisement Perception Model™

Research-Informed. Equity-centered. Implementation-focused.

Developed through doctoral research by Dr. Laranda Phillips, the CTE Advisement Model is a research-informed framework designed to transform how schools, districts, and educational leaders understand, promote, and implement Career and Technical Education. By addressing counselor perceptions and strengthening advisement practices, the model expands equitable student access while helping organizations build sustainable pathways that prepare learners for college, careers, and lifelong success.
