| Abstract: | Though career and technical education (CTE) teachers are pivotal to students' academic and career outcomes, research describing CTE teachers remains scant. In this study, the authors use nationally representative data to describe changes in the nation's CTE teacher workforce during a period of significant policy changes. Today's CTE teachers are more frequently credentialed and more racially and ethnically diverse than in the past, although still less diverse than non-CTE teachers and far less diverse than the nation's students. Women now comprise a majority, diversifying a historically male-dominated field. CTE teachers turn over at rates similar to the general teacher workforce, although novice teachers are more likely to turn over. The authors conclude by recommending future avenues of CTE teacher research to inform policy development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
