Major flaw in TN especially in my school district. The CTE classes are used for a dumping ground. They put students in class to fill a gap in their schedule the whole time the students don’t want to be there
This is a major problem in our district as well. Students have 3 elective hours (seniors sometimes have as many as 6) and would elect to not fill them at all if given a choice.
A major lack of communication between district personnel, site admin, and CTE teachers. No one is on the same page and our programs and students really suffer. Planning, scheduling, resources, and funding issues create so much conflict that we can barely function at a time when our department should be thriving.

We don’t have a way to pay students in a quick and easy way for their experiences unless they do a mountain of payroll paperwork.
They pour all their money into one program every year for the last decade and I’m still dealing with outdated technology from 2009
Do you do you 5 year plan each year and also participate in skillsusa
In TN we have to do plans each year. If we don’t we are not funded
If we do not participate in student organization we are not funded
Same here… dumping ground bc counselors and admin have no idea what we do in CTE. I’m planning to hold a meeting with counselors to “school” them in our classes. I’ve also invited admin, let’s see if they attend.
Sigh. I was trying to be optimistic. But you’re absolutely right.
