Ba approachable. Respect boundaries, but be approachable. Be a human too. Admit mistakes and move on.

Teaching 101. Relationships. They don't care until they know you care. 25% knowledge and 75% -presentation. Let them think you might be a little crazy.......

Having a lab that is in compliance with all safety standards is very important. Maintaining equipment and the accompaning documentation is important.

I appreciate the opening discussing the three areas that a CTE instructor needs to be aware of.  The "administration" part of the profession. Certification, courses that will need to be taken and the like will need to be attended to. The "instructional" piece of the profession, where the instructor is actually in front of students doing what they do. Then the "local administrative" part. School rules, how to purchase, parking etc. The more everyday process of running a program.
