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?
