SUMMARY:Think Tank
DESCRIPTION:The huge disruptions caused by COVID 19 have sparked an increase in the number of students who feel disconnected and unmotivated.  As we prepare to come out of the pandemic\, how can we re-engage these youth and reinvigorate education for all students and teachers?  Embracing Career Literacy is a promising solution.  Join us at our April Think Tank as we welcome William Symonds of Western Governors University\, and former director of the Global Pathways Institute at ASU.   Also presenting will be Angela Hardy of the Arizona Department of Education\, who will share Career Literacy resources and best practices from across the state.  Register now\, you won’t want to miss out.

SUMMARY:Using Rubrics to Increase Student Success
DESCRIPTION:CTE courses are performance-based.  When teachers let students know exactly how their work will be evaluated\, the students’ level of performance always improves. Come and participate in a hands-on activity that uses a rubric\, determine where the rubric made a positive difference in your performance\, and then design a rubric for one of your own student projects with guided support and feedback. Bring the assignment for one of your student projects and your current grading criteria for that project with you to help get this practical day started. \n\nInstructor:  Cathy Carey\nFor: All CTE Teachers\nADE Credit Available:  Yes\nOne Semester Hour (SH) Credit\nSatisfies Professional Knowledge\n(PK) deficiencies\n\n\nCourse Length: 1 day + homework\n\n\nSpring 2021\n\n\n\n\nDates:\nFebruary 16\, 2021\n(One-day + homework)\n\n\n\n\nSummer 2021\n\n\n\n\nDates:\nSaturday\, May 1\, 2021\n(One-day + homework)\n\n\n\nTime: 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. each day with a 30-minute lunch

SUMMARY:Technical Reading & Performance Literacy
DESCRIPTION:Assessing and grading are two different actions. Learn a variety of formative and summative assessment techniques. A major focus is how to assess student work using rubrics. This class will help you create a clear grading policy and develop a variety of ways to assess student learning. \nHow should students in CTE be assessed? How do we set up a fair grading system for both teachers and students? Learn about the wide variety of options that address both of these issues to help you develop both your own philosophy for grading as well as effective strategies for multiple ways to assess student learning and progress. You will also leave with a greater understanding of how to align testing and evaluation to your course outcomes and grading policies that will increase effective feedback for students. \nParticipants who participate in the course and who complete the follow-up assignments will have the opportunity to earn 15 CEU hours approved by ADE to be used for moving from provisional to standard CTE certificate or for recertification hours.
