Data to Actions - Career Tech Data Analytics
In-Depth discussion regarding how RG Drage Career Center completely transformed how it captures follow-up, certifications and capstone data and then uses that data to make actionable decisions using data analytics. Career Tech centers are typically relying on Google Forms, Excel files to track data for State/EMIS reporting. This process however involves manual collection of data from multiple sources, is labor intensive both for teachers and admin staff, prone to errors and is not very efficient. In addition, it is very difficult to understand broader patterns in data and gather metrics to understand which programs are successful or not. This session will discuss how RG Drage Career Tech Center captures, uses historical data with eMoksha Tracker and Analytics platform. This allows them to produce ready-made metrics and data for EMIS/state reporting with click of a button and results in efficiencies across the board for teachers, administrative staff and executives.

A Radical Shift in Ohio Graduation Pathways

With a major shift in the American Education Policy, there's a need to restructure the ways in which we develop and scale work-based learning. While educators redefine readiness, it's crucial to track both CTE concentrators and state compliancy while putting student success at the forefront. We'll address ESSA, Perkins, and WIOA alignment along with the explosion of “choose your adventure” graduation requirements, and ever-changing legislation. We will foster open dialogue to discuss  what it means for a student to truly be career and life ready with specific examples of how districts and intermediaries are scaling WBL and career pathways.

The Choices We Make: Using Choice Theory/Reality Therapy to Help Students Understand Themselves
In high school, Dan won a national championship for acting...as a mime. He was also nominated for the senior superlative of class clown, but came in second. After his first semester in college he changed his major from Acting because his professor told him he’d never make it because his eyebrows were too expressive for the silver screen.

Dan also never felt like he belonged anywhere. He never felt like he could talk about his struggles as a leader, or even as a human being, for fear of others finding out that he was an impostor. As it turns out he’s not alone, and neither are you.

Dan will share some thoughts and personal stories about not believing the lies of impostor syndrome in an effort to shift our mindsets in order to be brave enough to have the conversations that matter.

Career Technical Education (CTE) and Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) Change Lives!
 
Hear from two CTE graduates who will share how CTE and especially their CTSO involvement changed their lives. One of the presenters, Michael Rice is a 1986 graduate who came back to his career center in 1995 as the Electrical Trades instructor and then advanced to become the Associate Schools Coordinator (recruiting and admissions) in 2000. During his time at the career center Chris Kelley (2004 graduate) had many accomplishments including becoming the CADD Ambassador, SkillsUSA Local President, SkillsUSA Southwest Regional President and the SkillsUSA regional, state and national Prepared Speech Gold medalist. During the 2002-2004 school years, Michael served as the SkillsUSA Advisor. It was during this time that he and Chris’s friendship began as he watched Chris grow as both a student leader and public speaker. These successes can also impact future students who are considering attending your career center. Both have been very involved in recruiting for their career center both as students and now Michael as the Associate Schools Coordinator. The passion they both have for CTE and CTSOs will be seen in their presentation.

The Soft Skills Crisis: Do your graduates have the skills they need for success?
In 1918, Horace Mann asserted that 80% of career success is due to soft skills over technical or academic skills. 100 years later we are still talking about the soft skills gap. 74% of employers continue to state they cannot find graduates with adequate soft skills. What are we doing about it? This session will define soft skills and show how they are aligned to Ohio's career readiness graduation seal and many social and emotional learning programs. It will also demonstrate how you can assess soft skills through self and peer assessment and develop them through experiential learning. We measure what matters. We know soft skills matter and if we continue to fail to strategically teach and measure them, we will be talking about this gap for the next hundred years.
