Please discuss briefly what you like most about being a CTE teacher and what you like least.
This should be an easy questin to answer. I am sure that the things that I like most about being a CTE teacher are the same as the rest of you. I enjoy sharing my profession with today's youth. I appreciate that the education system today allows us to open up the eyes of high school kids to the multitude of professions that are available to them. I didn't have classes like this available to me when I was in high school. We had some business classes and art, but nothing like the CTE classes today. I chose to go into the health field because I enjoyed Science, but I had no idea what it was really like until I was in my first nursing class. I enjoy interacting with the students and seeing their interest in healthcare grow.
I am also sure that my least favorite thing will be similar to everyone else. All of the administrative duties really do take up a lot of my time. I feel that it drastically interferes with my instruction. I would love to spend more of my planning time actually planning awesome lessons for my class rather than taking numerous surveys for the state or doing a book study for a department meeting.

I agree with you Jan, when I was in high school they did not offer CTE course and I fill I would have taken full advantage if they did. Kids today have so much offered to them to help towards giving them what they need to be successful in life. I know the administration part of teaching can be frustrating and time consuming, but hopefully it is in effort to move your program in a positive direction.
Jan, I posted on this topic and noted the positive as conveying knowledge to students. My negative was from an angle of flow with teaching curriculum, I however, failed to mention the negative impact felt by administration oversight. What a pain, I find it a constant struggle to juggle all of the responsibilities and expectations heaped upon us weekly if not daily.
