Join us for a transformative workshop, where we will explore research-based pedagogical strategies that are reshaping Career and Technical Education (CTE). Discover how artificial intelligence (AI) can personalize learning and assessment, leading to improved outcomes as noted in the Journal of Educational Technology & Society. Learn how virtual reality (VR) tools can create immersive learning environments, that enhance technical skills acquisition, increase student engage and improve learning and achievement. Engage in conversations related to bridging the gap between education and the labor market as highlighted by the Association for Career and Technical Education. This workshop will not only inspire educators to integrate innovative tools but also equip them with the knowledge to maintain robust faculty support systems, addressing crucial aspects of faculty recruitment and retention. Prepare to transform your teaching approach and amplify your students' employability skills for the future of the workforce.
