Pre-conference Workshop & Tour
Opening the Black Box: Addressing CTE Industry Teacher Retention
Tuesday June 27: 2-5:30pm
Cost: $125
CTE teachers from industry bring experience to the classroom, but also have unique needs as new teachers. This interactive workshop will explore a “needs checklist” for working with CTE teachers coming from industry. We will focus on strategies that can be used to address common retention issues, such as classroom management, communicating with students and parents, assessment practices, etc. Prior to the workshop, participants will select the most important resources needed for working with industry teachers, and the workshop will be adapted to explore resources in those areas. Whether an administrator, new teacher educator, or teacher from industry, you’ll leave this workshop with a copy of a “needs checklist” and access to resources for working with this unique teacher population.
Workshop Leader: Dr. Michelle Conrad, Associate Professor & CTE Graduate Program Coordinator, University of Central Missouri

Limited Sponsorship Opportunity
ACTE is planning to host its second Teach CTE Summit June 27-29 in St. Paul, MN (full conference June 28-29 with pre-conference activities on June 27). The CTE teacher recruitment and retention challenges that impact our field have been magnified by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Teacher pipeline threats extend to administrators and other personnel and are threatening programs and student success in both secondary and postsecondary education.
This solutions-based event is anticipated to be twice as large as the first Summit held in February 2020 with 200 attendees expected. Partners will benefit from being associated with an issue that personally impacts CTE educators and their students.
