In our class last Tuesday we talked about the history of Vocational (now called Career and Technical) education. What would you like written in the history books about CTE in today's environment? Is it still needed? Is it relevant? Support your answer.

What would you like written in the history books about CTE in today's environment? 

What I would like to see written in the history books about today's CTAE  would be that our generation of  career tech teachers (us) were hybrid teachers.  Because we are all seasoned professionals first in our own trade with education and field experience first and then took on additional training in teaching, we have a unique  and distinct teaching style and perspective.  Additionally, our generation will be infusing core curriculum into career tech to create a hybrid education in high schools.  I'd like to see in the books that because of the hybrid teaching approach core courses will somehow want to learn from us and  infuse hands on techniques and employability skills into core courses. Tables turned.
