"In Collaboration for Career and Technical Education: Teamwork Beyond the Core Content Areas in a PLC authors Wendy Custable and Paul C. Farmer provide a guide for readers who wish to integrate the PLC process into their CTE programs of study. The authors note that CTE teachers are often singleton teachers and, as a result, are often left out of the collaborative process - if they have access to one at all. Yet, the PLC system has numerous proven benefits that CTE teachers can use to develop their students' knowledge, develop rigorous academic standards and best practices, and best prepare their students for their lives post graduation. Consequently, these CTE educators need a PLC system that is structured uniquely for their situation and their fields of study. Key to developing a professional learning community consisting of multiple singleton teachers is learning how to focus on what all of these educators' fields of study have in common. Therefore, the authors provide all of the information these educators will need to define their clarity of purpose, discover their common denominators, and build a powerful collaborative process. Using this book, CTE educators and singleton teachers will learn the vital strategies necessary for team building and improvement and the creation of customizable collaborative processes"--

Programs of career and technical education (CTE) have grown in popularity across the U.S; over 7.5 million students enrolled in one or more CTE courses during the 2013-14 school year (Association for Career and Technical Education, 2017). With millions of students enrolled in these courses, it is imperative that school curriculum remains up-to-date and aligned with industry practices. School districts must adapt to changes occurring in business organizations so that CTE programs remain relevant for graduates looking to enter the workforce (Scott, Annexstein, Ordover, Esters, Bowen, & Reeve, 2003).Businesses increasingly are utilizing teams (Avolio, Walumbwa, &Weber, 2009; Pearce & Conger, 2003). To ensure that CTE students are prepared for the workforce, educators must teach students 21st century skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and communication among team members. Many of these skills students need to be college and career ready manifest within a shared leadership model. Shared leadership requires team members to utilize their skills of collaboration, critical thinking, and communication to work toward a common goal, thus implementing a shared leadership model can help to provide CTE students with skills they will need in the future. In this qualitative study, teacher perceptions of a shared leadership model on a CTE campus were studied. The perceptions of the teachers, as well as the ways in which they perceived that the model impacted their job satisfaction, were examined through the lens of complexity theory. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews. The interview data were coded to discover emerging themes that were then organized and analyzed. The data indicated the participants' perceptions of shared leadership in a CTE setting. Collective accountability among group members emerged as being vital to the success of the shared leadership model. Participants expressed that students observed aspects of teaming through the shared leadership implementation that previously had not been present on the CTE campus. In addition, connections created between team members and leaders due to the model positively impacted their teaching practices, productivity, and student achievement. The majority of participants perceived that the model had a positive impact on their levels of job satisfaction.

Rapid changes in the workplace, including progress in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, make the contribution of career and technical education more significant than ever. In the fifth edition of his foundational text, Dr. Gordon is joined by new coauthor Deanna Schultz. Continued focus on the history, philosophy, structure, and evolution of career and technical education highlights in-depth coverage on emerging trends relevant to all areas of the field. The pedagogical structure of the text presents abundant information in an accessible format. The authors’ introduction to the origins of and early leadership in CTE lays the groundwork for later discussions of representation of women and underrepresented minorities in the discipline, as well as the implications of a multigenerational workforce and global community on the way educational programs are designed for career readiness. In addition to comprehensive updates, this edition features a section exploring work-based learning, information on current legislation, and a new chapter on community and technical colleges.
