This program represents an opportunity for extended professional development.  Completion of the program  will allow participants to grow and prosper as career-technical leaders and position their organizations to take a more active role in shaping the future of career-technical education.

 

The program is designed to be both inspirational and transformational.  Individuals will grow both personally and professionally and develop ways to positively influence students, colleagues, their communities, and CTE stakeholders.

Expected Results

Modality

The program will utilize both in-person and distance learning.  Distance learning will include both synchronous and asynchronous activities.  In order to receive a certificate of completion, participants will have to adhere to an attendance/participation policy that will promote maximum interaction.   Because of the use of technology and distance learning, it is expected that participants interaction will be increased and the program more effective. Only four face-to-face meetings will occur during the 10-month program, and to the extent possible, will be scheduled with other Career Technical Education events. 

Team/Group Project

The participants will be divided into teams/groups of four or five participants each. Each team will choose a challenge facing CTE educators that they will address throughout the year, culminating in a final report and presentation at the 2013 All Ohio Conference.
