CTE and Perkins

I for one and very grateful to have learned exactly how my program as a CTE teacher was funded. When I was asked to teach this program all I remembered was what a CTE teacher was from when I went to school many moons ago. The student have so many options now for career tech that were never available before. The choices and the head start these kids have now is endless thanks to the Perkins funding.

When my program was started I asked where is the money coming from and what is the budget. The supervisor of the CTE program at our school said it came from the Perkins money. I of course not knowing any better said great. Of course it was great but I did not really understand at the time where the money came from or how this came about. I do now know and can better appreciate how this was started. I am truly grateful that we have these program to give the students a new view on a career choices. I think every day it is great to be a CTE teacher and I get to be one even on the bad days that we sometimes have.
