My concern is that here in Indiana, I have taught in 3 different districts over 21 years in traditional high schools & have not ever had a student teacher or Practicum observer in my computer lab classroom. The last school I left for my current career center dropped the computer science courses I spent 10 years building and refining all together. No qualified CTE teachers available. 🤷‍♂️

Teacher recruitment is difficult for the CTE field, an issue that is actually quite common in other school districts across the United States. In some career fields, it requires a real drive to be in education to give up the, usually, higher salary, benefits package, perks, and changing environment. Other barriers include the certification process by the state. One of the ways that we recruit CTE Teachers is through our district grown CTE Educator Apprenticeship program, check out the SVAprogram.org
