History of CTE in business and its influence on my philosophy
A teacher is charged with the responsibility of imparting knowledge and skills that give students the ability to make a positive impact on the world. Through educational history, CTE teachers bore the responsibility of teaching and preparing students to meet the demands of the labor market (Wang, 2011).

My philosophy is in accordance with the concepts defined in the historical context of CTE teachers. Currently, preparing students to meet the demands of the workforce is no longer …show more content…
Since the introduction of CTE programs, the special needs education has grown immensely (Barry & Leather, 2012). There has been a diversification of career programs such as information technology, biotechnology, hospitality, engineering among others, giving the students an opportunity to join different fields of expertise (Barry & Leather, 2012).

Many of the students I encountered were physically disabled and showed no signs of bearing an inferior mental capacity compared to physically fit children. Advancing science and technology have opened up new opportunities for the students to participate and benefit from the workforce. Today, a special needs student can undertake any technical course without the fear of being discriminated in the workplace from physical limitations. In industrial businesses, many operations are computerized which limits the need for physical exertion. Implementation of CTE programs in special education had a positive effect on the students and challenges teachers to improve their quality of education. This has resulted in a continuous improvement of education in the nation and a resulting reduction in the skills gap among different people. Implementation of CTE special education continues to improve the mental health of students involved by creating opportunities for them to be relevant in contributing to the growth of the
