5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent text by a dedicated educator

This textbook was required for a class I am currently taking. I found the text to be easy to read and very informative regarding the history of Career and Technical Education. I especially found the chapter regarding globalization of CTE interesting.

We were assigned a class project to research and discuss an influential leader in CTE. I contacted the author of this book, Dr. Howard R. D. Gordon, by email to ask him questions. I was very grateful and impressed that he quickly responded.

I forgot just how many books I had purchases at Amazon.com for my Master's courses. I am just getting around to reviewing them. I still have them and use them occasionally for reference. When I am through teaching I am sure I will begin selling them online.

5.0 out of 5 stars History of Career-Technical Education
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2007

This is an easy read and well documented fact-based book. The author walks you through the roots, growth, impact and challenges of career-technical education in America. You are able not only to read about key scholars that impacted this field but you can also see their photos. The author brings a sound view of the value added of career-technical education, its importance and opportunities to address the needs of a changing global economy. This is a must read for anyone interested in having a better understanding of the history of vocational education/or career-technical education in the USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars loved it
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2013

I love this text book it gives the complete history. It does not skip of the African American aspect. It is very detailed about Historically black colleges and segregation. Being an African American I really appreciate that. Most history books pretend segregation didn't exist in any form. The book was in excellent condition when it arrived.

3.0 out of 5 stars Over priced
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2013

All textbooks are overpriced. It has a slant and biased in its reporting of historical facts. I am a strong advocate of CTE and think a better book could be produced with a long term vision of how CTE could improve the opportunities of our fellow citizens.
