Our presentation is about CTE's impact on us as students and future Technology Education teachers. We will talk about CTE classes we took, the skills we learned, and how we were influenced by those classes. Our goal with this presentation is to highlight the efforts CTE teachers go through, and show the impact that their efforts have on their students. We will talk about why we are pursuing Tech Ed, we hope to inspire current teachers to find those students who would make good educators so that we can grow and maintain CTE. These objectives connect with the theme because we want to expand recruiting efforts and the possibilities of more Tech Ed/CTE teachers.
