Reframing the Debate on Career-Technical Education

Guiding questions for the session:
• What goals for CTE have been proposed in recent policy discussions?
• What is the potential for CTE to develop cognitive skills, values, and character?
• What features of CTE programs appear to support reaching this potential?
• Do assumptions about the types of cognitive skills used in “academic” and “vocational” education and about the types of students enrolled in academic and vocational education programs influence policy discussions about CTE?
• What are the barriers to achieving the full potential of CTE?
• How might research into the skills and abilities developed in exemplary CTE programs and used at work inform policy discussions about work and education? |
