CTE in OSD

 Hi Team CTE - I hope you are ready to welcome Spring in your classroom and beyond.  I always feel so much renewed energy during the time when we see more light and sunny days. 🔹 Updates from Last Week WACTA – Washington Association of Career & Technical Educators was able to gather and learn about the legislative actions already taken and what we might expect at the end of the session.  🔹 This Week’s Events Field Trips  – Our Construction Trades program is planning a tour of two active build sites. I will also be supporting Try a Trade  day at New Market Skills Center.  Four-Year Plans -  Please remember your Four-Year Plans are due the first of next week.  Every CTE teacher should be completing a four-year plan either by themselves or with Program Area Partners in their building or throughout town. Have an amazing week of sunny days!
