Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Career And Technology Education Teachers?
Dr. Lisa Mastrangel Ph.D.: While there will likely be a more challenging job market for some time to come, even once coronavirus ends, degrees in Professional Writing remain highly marketable because of their "portability." Many work environments have discovered that employees work just as effectively when they are remote, and managing social media and marketing content can undoubtedly be done remotely. With strong writing skills and a facility with multiple technology platforms, students with Professional Writing backgrounds will continue to be strong contenders on the job market.

Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Career And Technology Education Teachers?
Janine Davis Ph.D.: For our teacher education graduates, the impact of the pandemic will most likely work in their favor when it comes to finding jobs-the pandemic has led to many retirements, which will mean that we will need even more teachers to fill those empty positions. At the same time, the advent of increased virtual learning means that it will no longer be an option that teachers know and use technology, including teaching online and using learning management and data analysis systems-those skills will almost certainly be a non-negotiable for future teaching positions. Finally, I think that this event has highlighted the importance of working as part of a team of teachers and other school leaders.
How do you envision technology impacting Career And Technology Education Teachers in the next 5 years?
Janine Davis Ph.D.: Already we see some amazing resources that help with virtual learning, and teachers are teaching students in so many different ways in the virtual setting. Not just will teachers be using more technology to communicate, teach, and collect and analyze student data, but it is likely that students will also use technology in more advanced ways-for example, more students may be editing video, producing podcasts, and collecting and analyzing data with technology.
