Peoria Unified is home to one of the most robust Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in the state and is often regarded as a leader in this space. This reputation is one that is seen in all six professional learning strands, thanks to the dedication of Peoria Unified’s CTE teachers, many of whom joined the teaching profession as a second career. Mr. Robert Thompson from Peoria High School’s automotive program has done just that and is joining us on the Trending Peoria podcast to share why he has dedicated his second career to preparing students for their future.
