Thanks so much for sharing this vulnerable, important piece. It was just what I needed to read today, as I'm still reeling from what really is a small thing, but the lack of autonomy and abruptness really got me. This piece helped me reframe it. You are not alone. ❤️

Those career and technical education (CTE) courses provide lots of opportunities to build life and career skills. Also, they are supported by federal funding focused on pathway completers (hence the tracking that sometimes happens). There are so many nuances!

For what it’s worth, I really enjoy it too! Seeing what other folks do with their days somehow gets me excited for mine.

I love this planner too! It’s so helpful.

Both… Making small changes to a traditional approach to a more structured class, redesigned a seminar class with less structure and different audience.
