2. Reinventing the Image of CTE through Sustainability

Author

Bernardino, Ruben and Seaman, James

Abstract

Career and technical education (CTE) carries a long-held image misconception--an outdated observation harbored by students, parents and the general public that CTE lacks academic rigor and only leads students to low-skill jobs. Despite these misconceptions, CTE is often a perfect option for many students to discover their passions, and to develop skills to enter the workforce or to continue on to college. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills identifies skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration as vital skills for the future. The hands-on approach to education in CTE equips students with all of these skills. Indeed, the CTE community has made excellent strides toward image change, but how can it become more prolific? How can CTE enhance its image so as to attract new students? One solution is through sustainability. Sustainability in education is about teaching students to be environmentally and socially responsible, therefore protecting the planet for future generations. An increasing number of global environmental challenges, combined with growing public awareness about the need for sustainability, provide CTE with an opportunity to develop programs that focus on the new green economy and set an example of best practice by greening CTE facilities.

3. Planning and Designing Today's Career Tech Facility

Author

Seaman, James

Abstract

During the past 20 years, career and technical education (CTE) has gone through significant changes. CTE has evolved in response to the changes technology has had on the job market. Preparing students for high-tech, high-skill job opportunities is the new focus. The facilities that house these programs, however, have not kept pace with these changes. Beyond that, older, out-of-date facilities can perpetuate the misconception that CTE spaces are "vo-tech" centers. In the planning and design stages of CTE facilities, administrators and their architects must consider these factors, as well as many others. This article discusses six design and planning concepts that will serve as inspiration for new or renovated CTE facilities: (1) the importance of image; (2) simulating the work environment; (3) creating flexibility; (4) integrating technology through layering; (5) letting the building serve as a teaching tool; and (6) designing green.
