Get to know your students, individually. Doesn't take much to remember their name and a hobby they have, to get them to buy into what is being taught or a little closer to buying in to what is being taught. Not all students are open to it right off the bat. It can take time to develop the professional relationship with them, but it helps.

Every thing you about what we do, this includes how we react, speak, dress, and handle difficult questions shape and form the students we are with. There fore we need to be very mindful of how we conduct ourselves in the presence of students.
It was interesting to see when CTE began. Encouraged to see that most states are beginning to use the term pathways, which will help students that move from state to state on their journey.
