I enjoyed learning more about the history of CTE going all the way back to the 1800's. This opened my eyes to how CTE isn't something new, but something that has evolved over time.

I found many things interesting. I hadn't heard of CTE until I found my job. My middle school didn't have CTE corses and my high school may have had some. I am looking forward to this course and making me an excellent CTE teacher.
I learned a lot of the history of education. I want to provide appropriate education to students, as well as teach them practical methods to use in their professional careers.
CTE is a powerful way for students to get into a career. Glad to be part of it.
CTE has had a long history, but slow moving to get to where it is today. Despite its obvious positive points and advantages it could provide to the populace, It took two world wars to gain enough attention and support from federal leaders to adopt. There are many stories out there how CTE has proven itself over many times.
