TN CTE programs are in every single TN county, and the kids are learning to grow, hunt, weld, save lives, fold the flag, apply math skills to careers, and they are earning credentials to take with them with they graduate. We are TN CTE!

@Dr_Plyler @TNedu @theTSIN @DiChiaraBen Thank you, Molly!

What a great day of CTE STEM and PBL exploration! Thank you to @TNedu @CandiCollier72 and @theTSIN @DiChiaraBen for leading a fantastic day of professional learning!👏

Advance CTE Spring meeting in Arlington, VA is this week. Topics include emerging technologies, AI, and sustainable energy.

Good morning, CTE Directors! #MontgomeryBell #SpringMeeting

Soooo many competitons at SkillsUSA! We are enjoying seeing the students work in the giant building labs. Over 500 advisors are with us this year!

Great ideas!

@TrentonSSD Peabody High School let us visit today to talk about schoolwide project-based learning. I am so inspired! I have pages of “to-do” notes for planning. My favorite quote today from CTE Director Shane Jacobs, “It used to be what we do. Now it’s who we are.”

Sumner County’s White House and Hendersonville High Schools welcomed us today to see their STEM programs. Collecting best practices in science and math integration in CTE. TN high schools are doing amazing things!

I visited with the MidCumberland CTE Directors at the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Center in the Williamson Co School District. Students get to dream and build, and some of them are turning a profit! The discussions show a passion for growing CTE and these leaders are inspiring!

What makes a great CTE teacher? Great CTE teachers build community. They support each other & their students. Great teachers are lifelong learners in their fields. They keep students engaged, and they find fulfillment in watching them grow. acteonline.org/tech-great-tea…

Excited to share how STEM practices align with state-level CTE strategies! From inquiry tasks to career pathways, integrating STEM into CTE programs prepares S's for success in the workforce. Let's empower future leaders with the skills they need to thrive! @TNedu @AdvanceCte
