Ba approachable and make sure to make/have respectable boundaries, but be approachable. Always make sure the students know you are human and so are they. Mistakes happen but we all need to be aware that we need to keep a safe and smooth running environment

Building that positive and safe environment for students to come and learn is vital to their educational career. They need to know that they are in good hands when in your classroom. If a student does act up or you have been noticing wrong behavior you should pull them aside, check-in, and see where you can help to move forward. You also NEED to discuss the consiquences with them on their behavior and that parents/adminstration will be notified for documentation, but also a sure they you are here to help them as well. 

I have stayed in touch with my PAC members as I call them at my CTE center. They have given my students opportunities to learn outside the school in work-based learning, and they have also come in and seen what I have been up to in the classroom, kept me up to date on current trends, and what students should focus on for the upcoming year as well. They have been a great help 

After teaching for a year now I have found building a professional relationship but also personal one with your students means everything to them. It helps them grow not only as a student in the field of their choosing but as a well-rounded person too. 

I’ve learned the importance of a first impression and how it can set the tone for the rest of the course. I want to create a positive and engaging experience from day one. To help with this, I’m looking for a fun way to introduce my students to the lab space, something interactive that makes them feel comfortable and curious. I’m also planning to start using Bell Ringers to get students focused and ready to learn as soon as they walk in

When a student acts out, it’s important to look for the why behind the behavior. Often it’s not about defiance, it’s about an unmet need. A quick private conversation can help, and remembering Maslow’s Hierarchy reminds us that students can't focus on learning if basic needs like safety or belonging aren't being met.

"High Quality CTE" learning this catch phrase and the 12 elements that go along with it really gave me the understanding of the different sections of my whole program and that everything taught is under each of these elements. 

TAC meetings are so important for keeping our programs aligned with what’s happening in the real world. Hearing directly from industry partners helps us make sure our students are learning the skills they actually need. I’m also really looking forward to meeting with my state monitor and getting more support to help our program grow.

As a teacher, people are always watching what I post, even if I think my account is private. Sharing personal or unfiltered stuff can change how students, parents, or coworkers see me.

I recently attended First Camp and learned so much more about Career and Technical Education (CTE). It helped me deepen my understanding of how CTE connects students to real world skills and future careers. I am especially excited to apply the new teaching strategies I learned, such as using more hands on, project based learning and incorporating industry relevant scenarios into my lessons. These approaches will help engage my students more effectively and better prepare them for the workforce.
