CTE Change

(Am I the only one who feels like this is a trick question? haha) I would have to say that since I don't know how any other departments are run, and I have only taught one subject at one school, I am not really sure what needs to be changed. But from what I have heard “on the street”, our department is quite strict and we are held to different standards. For instance, we are not “allowed” to wear jeans to work, even on spirit days and/or Fridays. We also have department meetings that apparently last a lot longer than other departments’. I know that the subjects we teach aren’t traditional or core curriculum, but I wish we weren’t seen as different by other teachers in the school. It becomes frustrating when we are always referred to as “the fun class” or teachers think our job is easier because “kids want to take our classes”. I apologize, that was technically two things.
