Abstract: The article focuses on the importance of professional learning communities (PLCs) for Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers and the role of assistant principals in supporting these educators. It highlights a leadership gap where CTE teachers, who often come from industry backgrounds rather than traditional teaching programs, are frequently excluded from instructional improvement efforts. The article suggests that effective PLCs for CTE should prioritize relevant data, technical skill development, and collaboration among teachers, while also encouraging partnerships with local industry and community colleges. By fostering tailored professional development and promoting peer observation, assistant principals can enhance the professional growth of CTE teachers, ultimately benefiting student career readiness and workforce development.
