CTE: Its Past & Evolution

• Late 1800’s – Schools specialized in preparing workers for

certain jobs.

• Early 1900’s -1920’s – Agriculture schools opened; CTE

expanded to adult education & retraining citizens to re-enter for

the workforce.

• After WWII – Value of technical skills increased.

• 1960’s & 1970’s – Federal funding to enhance “vocational

education”

• 1980’s & 1990’s – Is CTE about the preparation for work? OR

does it provide a concrete, understandable context for learning &

applying academic skills? The result was the Carl Perkins Act of

1990.

How Students Learn

Consider how your students learn – What are their strengths?

What are their learning styles? How can they share their

learning with others in the class or community?

Use a variety of instructional strategies for the variety of

student learning in your class. . . individual assignments,

group projects, written documents, oral presentations are all

different methods for student learning.

Student projects should include planning, designing, piloting,

implementing , revising, and reporting their accomplishments.

Use your community as a resource for learning.

Student work should be assessed with regular feedback from

you and others. Personal student evaluation is also important

so they can reflect on their work and progress.

Tools for Your Toolbox

Planning a course. . .

Gather information about career pathways or careers related to

the course.

Identify the critical competencies that should be accomplished

based on national standards, industry-recognized standards,

state frameworks, or common core competencies.

Identify teaching strategies to accomplish these competencies.

Determine resources for effective instruction – media,

equipment, speakers, field trips, etc.

Decide what you will assess.

PLAN with flexibility!!

Tools for Your Toolbox

Lesson Planning. . .

What is the main idea that you want to teach?

How can you get students’ attention at the start of the lesson

and keep them engaged?

What are the key learning objectives? What should the

students know and be able to do?

What activities will help your students achieve the learning

that is to take place?

How will you assess their learning?
