Framing Parents' Attitudes Toward Career and Technical Education

In recent years, policymakers and researchers have paid renewed attention to career and technical education (CTE), but public attitudes—especially those of parents—toward CTE remain relatively understudied. This paper, featured in the peer-reviewed journal Education Policy Analysis Archives, draws on the history of CTE and more contemporary policy discourse to propose a new organizing framework for conceptualizing how CTE might be discussed in the public sphere. In addition, the article draws on a survey-based experiment to examine how the ways in which policymakers talk about CTE may impact parents’ support for CTE-related policies.

The resources are based on research conducted in 2022 and early 2023, including a survey of state CTE directors and in-depth interviews with state CTE leaders.
