Just into the course 6 weeks and the EDSE 4070 had done a great job showing the teaching value of CTE from the rewarding relationships and non-monetary aspects as well as the career aspects. Have learned a lot of different areas that CTE covers, an excellent way to take learned skills and pass them on to the next generation, giving practical value to students to use well into their futures.
