Carl Perkins Legislation

When I was first hired to teach Healthcare Science I had no idea I was even a part of CTAE. I did not even know what it was. I had to attend orientation for a week and that is when I was told about CTAE. I did not begin understanding how important the Carl D. Perkins legislation was until I began studying it in class. At this point I saw how it tied to CTAE. I really appreciate the information because I believe it is important that as an educator I am informed and know my role in CTAE. I also found it quite interesting that the act was put into place in 2006 and it is in affect until 2012. Another important feature is the funding that is attached to the Perkins legislation. I am still not quite clear of all aspects of the Perkins legislation but I have a better understanding of the act.
