Abstract

When school systems attempt to standardize instructional programs, assuming that all students learn the same, it's time for school leaders to step forward to nurture and protect those integrated and technical programs that provide outstanding learning opportunities for students. School leaders need to "push" CTE teachers into the spotlight so as to provide greater recognition within the school community for the contributions they make in preparing students for lifelong success, CTE instruction should not be an afterthought, but the core of many school programs, and academic teachers should function in a way that supports the development of career and technical skills.
