From Industry Expert to Confident Teacher in Your First Year

For Districts & Schools Supporting New CTE Educators

When you hire industry professionals to teach CTE, they bring deep expertise but no curriculum. Sage gives your new teachers the curriculum structure they need from day one — so they can focus on teaching, not scrambling to build lessons from scratch.

So your investment in new teachers pays off from year one.

You Didn't Sign Up to Become a Curriculum Designer Overnight

You spent 15+ years becoming an expert in your field. You decided to teach because you wanted to give back, to share what you know with the next generation.

New CTE teacher alone at desk, overwhelmed by curriculum planning and standards documents

But here's what nobody told you:

  • You'd be handed a set of standards and told "figure it out."
  • You'd be the only person in your school—maybe your district—teaching your subject.
  • You'd spend nights and weekends trying to design curriculum from scratch, on top of learning how to actually teach.

You're great at what you do. But curriculum design? That's a completely different skill set. And right now, you're trying to master both at once.

I had 20 years of welding experience, but I'd never built a lesson plan in my life. I was drowning.

For districts and schools, the stakes are even higher. Every new CTE hire represents a significant investment — and without curriculum support, that investment is at risk.

You Need Structure, Not More Work

You don't need another thing to learn. You don't need to become an expert in AI prompting or spend hours searching for resources that may or may not align with standards.

What you need is simple:

  • A curriculum framework that covers the standards ✓
    — So you know you're teaching what students need to learn
  • Lessons you can trust are high-quality ✓
    — Without having to second-guess every decision
  • Time to focus on teaching ✓
    — Not staying up until midnight building PowerPoints
  • The confidence that you can do this ✓
    — Even without a degree in education

That's exactly what Sage provides.
