CTE Programs provide VALUECareer Skills Certificates validate VALUE

• VALUE answers the

question…

“WHY am I here?”

• Students must find “VALUE”

• Teachers must find “VALUE”

CTE Programs provide VALUE

• VALUE helps provide GOALS

• Proper GOALS provide direction and motivation

• Motivation leads to action and improves outcomes

Where’s the disconnect?

Remember how you answered these questions?

• Are our schools in the U.S. doing a good job?

• Are the schools in Washington doing a good job?

• Are YOU doing a good job in your classroom?

Why did you answer the way you did?

The QUANTIFICATION of our educational experience!

In other words, the ability to say:

“I know and I can tell youthe value of my education.”

Our Education “Career”

13 = K-12

4 = BA/S

2 = MA/S

+ 6 = PhD

Full Education “Career”.

How much do we value our education?

We can quantify our VALUE of education by analyzing

our personal quantification of our own educational

experiences.

The measure is amazingly simple . . .

Measure the real estate on

resumes!

This person obviously values education (earned a Doctorate and is a HS principal). Yet, what does a potential employer know about their 25 years of “education” experience?

What does this all mean?

We need to do a better job of quantifying and

enumerating the knowledge and skills we’ve learned.

In CTE we do a fantastic job, teach amazing things, and

get better results.

Let’s tell the world!
