The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and NOCTI are proud to announce the release of a new book titled: “Your First Year in CTE: 10 Things to Know”. Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers are a unique group. While there are similarities between a CTE teacher and a traditionally-prepared regular education teacher, there are also some distinct differences. The differences are apparent in prior work experience, work environments, teaching strategies, and the atmosphere in which they will be teaching the youth of tomorrow. Although there are many books focused on teaching strategies and tips for new teachers, there are few resources available for new CTE teachers. There are even fewer resources for individuals coming to the field from alternative teacher preparation programs -- that is until now!
Not a long read, but has some good information. If you're a CRE teacher or any teacher, approaching education through a non-traditional pathway read this book! If you have gone through a teacher training program, this is a short review of what you have already been taught.
