Your favorite thing about being a teacher
I love to watch students get excited as they start to get it, then develop vocational skills and mature into young adults with a specific set of skills. Watching my whole class cry during onion cutting day isn't too bad either!
Your favorite thing about KCTC
Working with Vocational Instructors, CTE specialists, and Facilitators, who are talented, experienced and have skills particularly suited to our student population. The second year WBL Facilitators and Skill Trainers, who seek to forge a partnership with Community Businesses and Organizations to further KCTC student's growth and development, with the goal of seeking employment.
