Your First Year as a CTE Teacher (Part 2) --> CTE Teaching Trends
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
In culinary, a simulated work space or school-based business would greatly expand the possibilities for teaching real world employability skills.
To incorporate more technology in the classroom. Working on adding more externships and partnerships to provide shadowing opportunities for students as well.
I've always believed that hands on learners benefit more than direct instruction
I enjoyed learning about the ideas for the simulated classroom. Also the importance that it is important that schools, employers and students are on the same page for work-based learning
Learning activities with a pre-determined ending are not project-based learning.
I would like to try adding a simulated workplace to my curriculum
My training involves simulated based training as it seems difficult to provide actual radioactive contamination and radiation for the nuclear industry
Focus all on getting students career ready
I learned that CTE teaching now focuses on hands-on projects, real-world skills, and using technology. I plan to connect lessons to careers and bring in guest speakers to keep learning relevant.
CTE provides a wonderful array of experiential learning options that include internships and apprenticeships - way beyond what can be provided in any one classroom.
Using Technology appropriately in the classroom is critical!
It's important for a new teacher to understand the audience they are dealing with. Technology is one of those items.
Combining a work-based learning framework with the professional use of technology prepares students for real-world experience, ensuring they receive "snapshots" of the real world workplace.
I plan to use technology to enhance student learning experiences. In addition to academic learning, I plan to encourage the use of email correspondence to promote professionalism for students in their future workplaces.
Using technology and trending teaching techniques helps instructors reach students and facilitate high-impact learning. By allowing students to experience the workforce, have hands-on training, and use technology, we enhance the learning experience.
QFT could be a could be a good way to problem solve as a class
This module provided many technology options and ideas for various activities. Some of them I have heard of, but others were new to me. I intend to try some more technology options in my classes. Project-based learning is a helpful way to integrate learning as students can solve real world issues and apply their knowledge. This can be used with a simulated workplace, which can be set up to run like a real world business.
The simulated medical clinic is a great idea. I need to implement some of that in my classroom.
Technology has vastly helped my classroom as classes can become more enhanced and we are able to use simulators to grant them a higher level of learning.
These trends suggest that CTE is becoming more dynamic, adaptable, and future-oriented. As technology and industries evolve, CTE programs are striving to prepare students not just for their first job, but for lifelong learning and career growth.
