I've gained a much clearer understanding of the Program of Study and its role within each CTE pathway. Learning about the history and development of CTE has been enlightening. I’ve discovered a lot, particularly how various states have rolled out their Programs of Study and the tools they've created to support educators in building strong CTE programs. The ACTE self-assessment tool will be a valuable resource for me.
Also a first-year teacher, I wasn’t fully aware of CTE's historical background and the range of opportunities it provides. This has been an incredibly insightful experience!
