We already utilize many of these experiences and supports for our students. One thing that I picked out from this though was focusing on an industry issue through a partnership with a business. By doing this, it presents a unique challenge for students to work through. This creates a more realistic experience as well and helps the student to problem solve alongside the industry partner. 

This module reinforced the importance of helping CTE students identify their interests, strengths, values, and career goals while connecting classroom learning to real-world opportunities. I plan to incorporate career assessments, hands-on experiences, and student reflection to help them recognize their skills, explore career pathways, and make informed decisions about future employment or continued education.

When we as school teams are working on readying our students for future careers we need to be working with future employers and getting the proper needs of those employers met when developing our curriculum.

My students know within a few days that i request respect from them in return, I respect them> They know I like a clean and organized classroom and that we can have fun, as long as we get our work done.

I apply this daily when students leave by reminding them to clean up and put up each day.

Ask myself if I can learn the material the way it is presented. Knowing that my students, just like my children, learn in different ways.

Build from what you know and what works for most students, adding in the differentiated methods to capture allof your students in some way during the lesson.

The only way to teach students effectively is to continue to learn and grow with your profession. If something is not working for your students, make the change and try new strategies.

I am going to continue with PBL's, integrating real world experiences, and bringing in local industry partners to help with getting the pint across to the students in Personal Finance.

We have a very good individual who is a recent retired teacher and she helps many of us new and old teachers with new and improved strategies for our new and improved students. Without integrating some of the techniques, your lessons will quickly become stale and the students who do not learn like you do will be missing the lesson, the message, and the outcome that is expected of them.

The learning objectives for Personal Finance relate to real life and real situations that students can/will encounter within the first few years of finishing high school. It is important that they know how and why they need to care for their personal finances.

I have learned that CTE curriculum must align with what is industry relatable topics and lessons and must be up to date with what is relevant to that industry. These standards are going to change with industry, and it is important to review standards and curriculum to ensure that they meet the expectations of today's industry and businesses.
