For this episode, special guest Dr. Tyler Love joins host James Palcik to discuss safety in career technical (CTE) programs. This episode explores how schools can support students' interests in STEAM careers and keep them as safe as possible.
The conversation begins by discussing Tyler’s role in the career technical world and the challenges of implementing safety standards in CTE environments. Tyler has conducted research and worked with teachers nationwide to train and develop them to lead CTE programs.
In the second part of the episode, James and Tyler focus on the details of safety training and how it impacts everyday teaching. One interesting aspect is Tyler’s research on Engineering and CTE training. What you expect of a STEM classroom or CTE laboratory is not always what the data shows, particularly concerning safety.
