There’s also little accountability for academic integration baked into federal policy.
Does ANYONE else find this guy to be a pompous dingleberry trying to weasel his way into writing academic policies into a sector he clearly has minimal understanding of?!
-
There’s a collective (and bipartisan!) sense that these changes have steered CTE in a positive direction, toward “relevance and rigor,” and away from its “dark history” of tracking disadvantaged students into low-wage, low-opportunity occupations.
Anyone else find the author of this article getting under their skin? I think his "academic" head is up his arse- the ignorance of his assumptions is maddening. Disadvantaged students is a terrible generalization and to consider the trades "low-wage, low-opportunity occupations", bro has no idea how good of a living tradespeople make.

By contrast, courses and programs within the “academic” curriculum emphasize subject-matter knowledge and the development of broadly applicable skills—think history, science, language studies, etc.
Am I the only one that sees these "academic" avenues as far more threatened by artificial intelligence?

ChatGPT can write nearly flawless computer code
we must acknowledge the phrase nearly flawless- this AI might be on to something, but it is certainly far from perfect.

I’m there to gawk over what it can do—and, spoiler, it goes well beyond producing first-year term papers
I believe there is value in "learning through play" in this circumstance. To become familiar with this new tool and to seek the advantages and limitations through trial and error will give a better grasp of how it is used, when is it ideal to use, and when it might steer us completely wrong.

or is CTE a key to preparing students for an AI-infused future?
I think this whole article is rather challenging to get behind as with the topic of AI, there are two more prominent categories of tech- technical skills in terms of working with your hands (carpentry, electrical, hairstyling) and then there is technical knowledge which has a greater level of engagement with computers (design, coding).
-
How should we think about the intersection of these two trends?
Am I the only one that does not see much of an intersection between rise of the trades and AI? Can someone enlighten me?
-
This has particular salience given that concerns about the cost of college have prompted parents and policymakers to embrace career and technical education programs, which prepare students for the workforce.
Is the cost of college actually a driving force behind the uptick in CTE? I'm pretty sure policymakers have more concern for the workforce shortages, no?
-
putting an exclamation mark on questions about how automation will affect the job prospects for today’s students.
I feel as though being in the technical fields, our employment opportunities have a greater level of protection due to requiring a physical component/labour, paired with our ability to use critical thinking. Not to say replacement is impossible, but we certainly will not be the first to go.
