Modern-day CTE advocates would argue the similarities to former vocational education models end there
Due to the widespread use of technology in the education system the former ways of teaching are now in the past and are no match for what is to come
I’ve been on ChatGPT a lot lately and—apparently—I’m not the only one
If you haven't heard of chat GTP then you are likely to hear about t soon and possibly even use it
Is AI going to gut the kinds of jobs that CTE will prepare students for,
Do you believe AI is really capable of gutting jobs in CTE because we will always need trades to sustain the world we live in now and the foreseeable future
“Time and Place:
This phrase time and place in particular stands out to me when I think of CTE because I believe like many things there is an appropriate time and place to use CTE
ome CTE career-cluster areas have average automation risks that are low: Education & Training, Health Sciences, Information Technology, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
there is a low risk of introducing or enhancing the use of CTE into certain fields or jobs as they may already make use of CTE in one way or another
Other CTE career-cluster areas have automation risks that are high: Architecture & Construction, Hospitality & Tourism, Manufacturing, and Transportation, Distribution & Logistics
CTE career focus had and will continue to have high influence and affect on jobs and jobs sectors which for long periods of time never saw or relied on the use of CTE to operate and function.
CTE should help diversify cluster pipelines and mitigate tracking.
CTE is going to help diversify people's thought and ideas while reducing tracking
CTE’s “dark history” becomes its future.
the events of the past are continuing into the future when continuing CTE
There’s also little accountability for academic integration baked into federal policy.
There needs to exist new federal law that is designed and integrated towards the accountability and actions of academic integration, especially if its tech or AI based.
CTE is a push to better integrate academic content within technical learning contexts.
Is it really better if its evolving soo fast that we can't keep up to date with it?
To begin, jobs requiring skills that are difficult to automate with available technologies are at lower risk of automation.
The abilities needed for jobs in the real world require new evolving skills that work with technology.
There’s a collective (and bipartisan!) sense that these changes have steered CTE in a positive direction, toward “relevance and rigor,” and away from its “dark history” of tracking disadvantaged students into low-wage, low-opportunity occupations.
This follows the old idea of thinking that those who are able adapt and change can benefit and grow. those who can't won't, and therefore won't see the same success.
Like previous iterations, contemporary CTE focuses on equipping high school and community college students with technical skills that are closely tethered to specific workforce applications
This goes to show that jobs in the world are evolving with the transforming of technology on a daily basis
Today’s “career and technical education” is yesterday’s “vocational education,” though not really
This is a fancy way of saying that tech is evolving faster than we can understand it.
the generative artificial intelligence behind ChatGPT can write nearly flawless computer code for a certain syntax-based statistical package commonly used among policy-researcher types, like myself. It was humbling; I’ve spent years learning to write such code, to middling ability
This simply shows and demonstrates the power and capabilities of Chat GPT and other AI platforms.
