Nearly 50% of faculty needed in Wyoming's higher education system are CTE related. - It appears that there is less demand for CTE teachers in K12 at this time - There is much more to that story - There has been a decrease in 100 FTE in CTE teachers over the past 25 years - Approximately 250 CTE teachers are primed to retire in the next 10 years - CTE Enrollments continue to increase each year - It appears that CTE positions have been filled with temporary or non-CTE credentialed teachers - We have a detailed report coming out in September - We will report on those results <div

of Governor Gordon's office via Lachelle Brant, provided us with some jobs data - Artificial Intelligence classified these jobs into CTE and non-CTE related categories. - R was able to integrate large language modeling and classify job postings into different categories - This required several iterations to train the model - **Total Job Postings**: 5,695 - **CTE-Related Job Postings**: 2,907 <div

effectiveness of the academy by measuring the professional growth and leadership skills of the participating principals. This can include feedback from mentees and the observed changes in school management practices. - **Evaluate Program Expansion and Outreach**: Analyze the program's expansion efforts and its success in reaching more new principals across the state.
