The February, 2009, Kentucky Career and Technical Teacher Education Conference’s theme “Aligning Career and Technical Education” allowed planning for a collaborati Kentucky Office of Career and Technical Education; the Kentucky Department of Education, Secondary Division of Career and Technical Education; and the National Research Center for Career and Technical Education. T solving driven agenda and a manifest of the issues and concerns facing Kentucky CTE as indicated by conference participants and presenters; can provide useful information for state and national CTE leaders.
