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.
