CTE has a very different history than what I read here. Around 1920 it was called vocational education (trades) and didn't get called CTE until the 1980s with the emergence of PCs at a residential level. At that point the concept of technology was introduced because people needed to start understanding electronics and the trades had to accept a rebranding of terminology.
Much of the legislative narrative about skill based learning and career focus was interesting.
I enjoyed learning about the history of CTE and how it has evolved to let us reach where we are now. We indeed came a long way in comparison to the 18th century.
I too found the history of CTE fascinating. Technical education is another way to capture a different potential in ways that will serve the community.
As a veteran CTE teacher and alternative teacher, it was great to learn about the history aspect of CTE.
I understand the foundation of the program and how the program has been developed over the years to help students grow in their knowledge of various career options.
I learned the importance of selecting and implementing the appropriate curriculum that is aligned with a state's CTE standards. Also, the importance of sequencing to ensure students take classes that build upon on another so there's a continuum of learning both in the classroom and through work-based learning, internships and apprenticeships. Partnering with industry, community partners, and the business curriculum is essential to creating real-world experiences and opportunities for students get hands on experience in their field of interest.
I have learned about the history of CTE and I have a better understanding of the career clusters and subclusters. I also learned about the 12 elements of high quality CTE, which includes program evaluations. I intend to better understand the 12 elements and better understand the self-evaluation process to improve myself as well as our programs.
Allowing students to investigate career pathways in high school will help them to choose an appropriate career pathway for them in the future. Career and Technical Education helps students transition form the high school to employment.
Perkins' idea about CTE education was implemented over Dewey's philosophy of government, education, and industry melded together.
I have been teaching in CTE in other states for about 10 years. This content reenforces what I have been doing.
I have a much better understanding of the CTE programs and I enjoy being a part of this program.
I found this to be a valuable resource because it focuses on practical strategies to enhance teaching, foster good student engagement, and integrate technical skills with academic learning.
I learned the many different components of CTE and what makes up high quality CTE. ALso learned how instructors can use CTE to assist students with career paths.
I appreciated how the development of CTE came about. I am a big advocate for CTE already and this increased that support.
Much of my study is definitely an eye opener. Also much of my review to this point has brought more of my CTE Practice forfront and has influence my focus to continue the pace guided curriculum set by ASE Industry standards. Also approve by my ASE foundation Accreditation assignment.
Gave me a better understanding of the history of education and how it evolved to where it is yoday
I enjoyed learning how CTE has developed and the different components of the CTE program of study.
This course has helped me to understand the importance of CTE and its history.
There are a multitude of online platforms to fulfill health and safety training that are free and require payment, such as First Aid + CPR training.
I learned what it takes to have a high quality program.
