CHAT-CTE: Finally—PD That’s Personal
This isn’t your typical education podcast. CHAT-CTE is built for the trade teachers—the welders, the cosmetologists, the culinary kings and queens—who teach with their hands, hustle, and heart. Each episode tackles the real-life challenges of CTE teaching: from writing a curriculum when you’ve got zero time, to using AI tools that actually help, to managing a shop full of teens with more energy than a MIG welder. You’ll hear honest stories, get practical tools, and leave with something you can use tomorrow. Hosted by a CTE mentor who’s been in the fire and came out forging something better. This is PD that respects your craft, your time, and your why. Because you're not just teaching a trade—you're changing lives.
