I enjoyed learning more about the history of CTE going all the way back to the 1800's. This opened my eyes to how CTE isn't something new, but something that has evolved over time. We have so many pathways now for students to join, and I learned more about how to prepare those students for choosing an appropriate pathway for them.
I liked the Career Cluster for Manufacturing and how much information is available as a guideline.
I will review this and provide a good plan to pass on to my students.
It is clear that continuing education is a must in every profession. I am happy I enjoy learning new things.
I have a better understanding of the framework of CTE and how to apply it.
I learned about the High Quality CTE. It sets high standards for teachers, students, and programs.
I learned about the different clusters and pathways available in CTE and how to implement a Program of Study. This course really helped me understand where CTE gets its funding, and how important High quality CTE is.
I learned about programs of study and their importance in helping students find their path in a CTE program.
I now understand how important data collection is and how it can be used as a reflection and program check.
I gained a basic understanding of the CTE layout and the specifics as to what the purpose it. I will apply the 12 steps for the program to be highly qualified.
As someone coming from the traditional academic side, I learned a great deal about the history and value of CTE and was able to engage in my own analysis.
I learned how the state views CTE and the career pathways/ essential ideas.
This unit provided an excellent breakdown of where CTE evolved from, how it has been approached historically, and provides substantial information relevant to the future success of CTE programs.
I had no idea how long CTE has been around. I believe a quality plan of study is a great method for students to visualize and understand what steps they can take and the relevance of the classes they are taking.
I appreciate the understanding of the history of CTE. It was interesting that females started teaching after men in the 18 century
I understand the Perkins Grant.
I've come to a better understanding of what POS is and how to implement it. They understanding of CTE and the continuing of the secondary education tied with public and private partnerships to direct your instruction.
I didn't realize how many different areas were covered under CTE. Learning the history and how it has evolved over time is interesting. Allowing citizens to reenter the work force after giving them skills to be successful in their career.
I have a better understanding of the purpose and history of CTE programs and will use that to help students find the best pathway.
I appreciated the long and varied history of CTE. I have learned about the legacy of Dewey and Perkins as life-long educational proponents. I have learned of POS and the impact of a structured approach to effective learning.
I enjoyed the History portion of this. I never relised how old CTE is and how the first tech school was opened in 1881!! What!?!? :-0 SO COOL! This also is great for knowing that there are standerds in place for CTE teachers to follow and allows for some starting points and foundations to build off of. The 12 Elements are very helpful as well.
