How did CTE get started?
Middle Ages - The roots of vocational training can be traced all the way back to the days of apprenticeships in the Middle Ages.
In 1563 the system became more prescribed and regulated: the Elizabethan Statute of Artificers set out terms and conditions for training (including duration of seven years and for the master–apprentice relationship) and was primarily in the area of builders and stonemasons.
We have come a long way since then.
Career and Technology Education (CTE) as we know it has developed over the last 100 years.
1917 - When President Woodrow Wilson signed the Smith- Hughes Vocational Education Act into law, it was the beginning of federal funding for vocational education in the United States. 1926 - American Vocational Association (AVA) was formed when the National Society for Vocational Education and the Vocational Education Association of the Middle West came together. 1929 – Areas of training were in agriculture and home economics. 1937 – Areas of training now included trades and industries. 1940 – Distributive Education and Aircraft Trades have been established in Vocation Schools. 1963 - When the Vocational Education Act of 1963 (The Perkins Act) was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson, it became the most comprehensive vocational education measure that had ever become law in the history of our nation. It authorized a new permanent program of federal assistance for vocational education 1998 - The name of American Vocational Association’ was changed to the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) in 1998. 2013 – CTE today, includes courses in the areas of: Arts Technology, Communications, Business & Marketing, Computer Technology, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), JROTC, Health Services and Science & Natural Resources. https://www.acteonline.org/content.aspx?id=18087 http://cte.unt.edu/about/history-of-legislation
In 2009 approximately 35.5% of all students in the U.S. were enrolled in a CTE course http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ctes/tables/h127.asp
In 2011-12, Bethel students took advantage of 6300 course opportunities in Career and Technical Education

Throughout CTE Month in February and especially on Feb. 23, CTE Social Media Advocacy Day, ACTE will be turning to current and former CTE students, teachers, administrators, CTSO leaders, business owners and anyone who cares about education that prepares our youth and adults for the future workforce to share their experiences with CTE on the Internet. There are several ways to communicate your story:
Twitter: Share your story in 140 characters or less, and be sure to include hashtag #careerteched. Direct to your legislator by adding @ and your legislator's handle before your message; for example, "@Barack_Obama Perkins funding critical to workforce, edu & preparing students to be college & career ready. Restore funding! #careerteched"

Spanaway Middle School
PLTW Presentation at Seattle University
Students from Lois Nobel's GTT (Gateway To Technology) class presented before teachers, counselors, and administrators at the Project Lead The Way Counselors Conference on December 4, 2012 at Seattle University. Students shared how GTT, a hands-on STEM course made what they were learning relevant and fun! The PLTW Gateway To Technology (GTT) program features a project-based curriculum designed to challenge and engage the natural curiosity and imagination of middle school students. They envision, design and test their ideas with the same advanced modeling software used by companies like Lockheed Martin, Intel and Sprint. They study mechanical and computer control systems; think robotics and animation. Students also explore the importance of energy, including innovative ways to reduce, conserve and produce it using solar, thermal and wind power. The knowledge that student’s gain and the skills they build from GTT create a strong foundation for further STEM learning in high school and beyond.
Students also shared that for
many, GTT was what made
coming to school fun!
