Dear ACTEAZ Members,
Happy Spring! We are all in full swing of our second semester and I hope you are taking part in many of the great professional development opportunities being offered by our State planning teams, our Affiliates and your local Districts.
What has CTE been up to?
ACTE National Convention in Charlotte, NC was a tremendous success with those who attended coming home with great ideas and renewed energy for working with students.
Mid-Winter Conference in Prescott was just like always – A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS!!!
Legislative Day keeps getting better and better each year. We had over 215 teachers,administrators, counselors, and most important of all, students. The students overwhelmed our State’s “finest” with their professionalism, poise, and maturity as they met with Representatives and Senators and spoke before the Education Committee in session.
National Policy Seminar was very interesting with the state of the economy, the new administration, and a great deal of hope for renewed confidence in our Nation.
Coming soon will be Region V in April, being held this year in Bellingham, Washington.
The purpose of the Fellowship Program is to establish a leadership training program for Career and Technical Educators in Arizona. This fellowship program will provide an opportunity for career and technical educators to become familiar with and participate in policy making processes. Policy makers use these policies to development and implement laws, regulations, and other public policies at the local, state and federal levels. In addition, this fellowship experience will assist individuals in further developing leadership skills in Career and Technical Education and involvement in professional associations.
CRITERIA
Fellowships are limited to ACTEAZ members who have at least one year of work in or around Career and Technical Education. Applicants must have the support of their CTE Director and Principal/Dean. Fellows will be asked for a three-year commitment, with one year of intensive involvement. Second and Third year Fellows are asked to serve on an ACTEAZ committee, run for an affiliate office, or run for an ACTEAZ office.
For more information on the Fellowship Program please contact Diane Epperson, ACTEAZ Fellowship Coordinaor.
