I am a CTE Director with over 35 years of experience in CTE. I am taking this class, because I want to offer it as PD for any new CTE teachers who come to our district. I think the content and format so far are very helpful. This is an amazing resource!
I've learned that there are so many different ways to incorporate CTE. I also learned that I need to spend more time looking into different options because there is so much information that is available. I know that I need to make the connection that is necessary for learning at the secondary level so that students are able to make better decisions with selections at the post secondary level which can hopefully help with a career path.
I learned the history behind CTE. Also learned that it is important in developing pathways that help students down a career path.
THe development of CTE as a standardized aspect of post secondary education is a natural outgrowth of the appreticeship model of the past. The ability of these programs to evolve to meet the needs of the work force is a key to our flexible economy. The twelve elements will help me to assess my program and to provide a bridge to employment or further study by my participants.
This is actually my second year of teaching. Much of the content of this modle has been implemented within my framework for student learning and success. What was most relevant to me, however, was a clearer understanding of the Perkins 5 legislation and what impact that can have on the on-going assessment of the course of study within the advanced career programs our educational institution provides. There is untapped funding I was unaware of that will strengthen the current program. This I am very excited about as I teach a hands-on curriculum and the equipment used in laboratory is in great need of an update.
I gained an understanding about CTE and its history. I really didnt know about its great history. I have a fonder understanding and appreciation for CTE and developing the future careers of the next generations.
I have learned more about CTE history and pathways.
i found the history of CTE particulary inriguing in regard to access and equity. As CTE has grown in this area through the years, I look forward to seeing how we continue to grow in our understanding and efforts to bring high quality CTE to all people.
I appreciate seeing the direct connection from legislative promotion of CTE efforts to community/business partners and our secondary programs in CTE.
I've learned that CTE is a symbiotic relationship between private and public partnerships. There must be coordination to assure a thorough and complete learning experience.
I've learned about the Perkins Funds and the history of CTE. In addition, I've learned about POS Design Framework components and how they apply to my program.
This course is giving me a good insight into the history of CTE and how to keep the 2-sides of life separate and manageable.
I now have a better understanding of the Perkins Grant (gained from the link provided) and how cluster and capstone classes vertically align with post-secondary.
inform the students that upon completing there education.
that there is a wealth of information available to them to fine tune their career
remenber to use positive reinforcement
I developed a deeper understanding around the history of CTE in the US, its roots and fundamental core elements.
I appreciated a timeline specific to CTE. However, I found it a bit interesting that there was a distinction made between ideas of Dewey and Perkins. CTE seems a fine manifestation of the types of educational experiences Dewey would have valued, and in fact, my appreciation of CTE and its pragmaticism is directly related to my enjoyment of Dewey.
This was an interesting overview seeing how the CTE programs have evolved over time. It helped to learn more about the different types of career clusters are available and how some are in place across the country. This will be new to my online school, so seeing the suggestions for getting started are very helpful.
I have a much better understanding of the History of CTE, and how it has changed and is continuing to change. I wonder why more schools in this day/age are not only incorporating it, but actually building and designing the vast majority of their Education around it. It seems that going forward CTE could replace much of our traditional education, and it would lead to better outcomes for students.
I've learned about the history and some of the general components of a CTE Program of Study. CTE is a great way for students gain skills and experience a taste for different pathways instead of wasting that time in college.
I learned more about the history of CTE and how it was founded. It gave me an appreciation for frameworks and why those came about.
