Ohio CTE Innovation and Impact Conference 2022

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.

NC3 Certifications and the Ohio Roadmap to Smart Manufacturing: In this session we will discuss the implementation of NC3 Certifications and the impact they can have in your local community. We will cover the basics of the certifications from lesson plans to labs, what equipment is needed to implement the training, and instructor training. We will also talk about engaging your local manufacturing partners and how to use the Ohio Industry-Recognized Credentials as part of your schools’ program.  

*This session will be interactive, so be sure to bring your device!* To be successful in the workforce, our students need support in developing financial literacy, positive relationships, mental health, professionalism, and social skills. In this session, we will explore how an understanding and mastering of these skills helps to increase overall wellness. Educators will get access to EVERFI’s no-cost, standards-aligned online resources and corresponding offline lesson plans. By growing students' financial knowledge, decision making capacity, communication skills, and more, these turnkey lessons increase student engagement in the classroom and employability outside of the classroom.

We will discuss how to leverage key psychological “shortcuts” to help students learn key concepts in financial literacy programs and retain them for years to come. This will include brief overviews of multiple types of online games, but also example course structures and timelines to give students different opportunities for self-paced learning, group projects, and continual reinforcement that lasts beyond the end of the class.
