The "New" Vocationalism - Not Your Grandpa's Vo-Ed
A funny thing happened to me. Someone wrote that because I believe there should be multiple ways for students to look at work/career after high school, that I was for "tracking" and that meant kids of color and ergo, that's racism. (I know, quite the leap.) But here I see, from conservatives and others, that CTE (Career Technical and Education) is making - thankfully - a big comeback. Many of these new job start in high school and involve a couple of years of community code including algebra. Or, they are a stepping stone to a college-based career. It's not your grandpa's voc-ed and one more choice for students.
