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 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.
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 learned what it takes to have a high quality program.
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.
This course has helped me to understand the importance of CTE and its history.
I enjoyed learning how CTE has developed and the different components of the CTE program of study.
Gave me a better understanding of the history of education and how it evolved to where it is yoday
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.
I appreciated how the development of CTE came about. I am a big advocate for CTE already and this increased that support.
