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.
I have gained a better understanding of the reason and effectiveness of the CTE program. It not only provides a path for future education, but also provides an avenue for employment opportunities for those not yet looking to further their education.
I had no idea CTE was such a long standing program. It was extremely interesting to lean how the world wars effected the growth of CTE availability.
This section was very informative, especially regarding the history CTE. It is interesting to see how CTE became prioritized and normalized in education and careers, as our country developed industrially/technologically. It was also insightful to read about the career clusters, and how there is a continuum between middle school, high school, and post-secondary CTE programs; there needs to be overlap, without repetitiveness. I know our district is working to formulate a K-12 POS, and using a backwards design process may help us.
I'm looking closely at the high quality criteria of CTE, and how we can support that.
I have a better understanding of the origins and goals of CTE.
