discuss briefly what you like most about being a CTE teacher and what you like least

Being in a position to help shape the future of others is very powerful.  I find teaching to be rewarding and challenging, rewarding in helping young people to achieve or at least see their potential, challenging because you can't help all of them.  Being a CTAE teacher affords one the opportunity to teach what you have mastered in that your past career experience serves as a trusted blueprint for achievement.  It is exciting to pass on that knowledge to young people who are eager to learn it, and that facet of teaching is what I like most.  What I like least about teaching is that it can become frustrating when the information can't be received by the students at the pace or in manner that I feel comfortable with.  It is very challenging for me to "slow down" and "spoon-feed" information that I already have mastered, but being able to do that in a way in which students can learn it, truly constitutes what being a teacher is all about.  So I know it is a challenge I must rise to.
