Speaker(s): Heather Singmaster
Workforce changes arising from technological advances require skills to successfully transition to the jobs of the future and survive the disruption happening across all industries and levels of employment. This interactive session will explore free tools and resources that create more engaging CTE learning environments while preparing students with the skills necessary for success in the changing global economy. CTE educators who have used these free tools and resources identify critical thinking and perspective-taking skills, communication, and empathy as some of the key takeaways for students. Tools to be shared include: educator professional development modules, sample projects, industry leader videos, student modules, and more. We will also share educator and student micro-credentials on career readiness skills. Join us as we share strategies you can use immediately in your classrooms!
