Abstract	In 2017, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) awarded SRI International and its subcontractor, Gibson Consulting Group, (the SRI/Gibson team) a contract to conduct a study to inform the state's efforts to improve career and technical education (CTE) programs. The SRI/Gibson team designed the study to help TEA learn more about the CTE programs offered across the state, the demographics of students enrolled in those programs, and the academic attainment and postsecondary outcomes of CTE participants. Given TEA's goals to improve the quality of CTE programs, the study also included development of a set of program quality metrics (PQM) that identify both the inputs and outputs of CTE programs and that are based on available evidence-based practices. The study addressed four research questions: (1) What CTE career clusters are offered in Texas?; (2) What are the demographic characteristics of students participating in CTE?; (3) What are the characteristics of students enrolled in Texas CTE career clusters?; and (4) To what extent are Texas CTE graduates meeting Texas college and career readiness standards and successfully transitioning into the workforce or postsecondary institutions?
