It's important to provide student voice in the CTE classroom in regards to promoting global/multicultural fluency for both our students as well as to grow professionally ourselves. As, we learned, "show & tell" can be a great way to provide an outlet for our students to not just share their backgrounds and perspectives but for everyone to gain new outlooks based on what is shared with us. This can lead to valuable soft skills and students learn to "manage" their fellow co-workers, colleagues, employers and future employees regardless of which field they transition to post-high school.
