Career and Technical Education Month – February
 
Students and Teachers Celebrate
Career & Technical Education Month


From Bennett/Bonlee School - John Shaner, Instructor

Bennett/Bonlee students engaged in a resume writing contest. This exercise got students thinking about possible careers that they may want to go into after high school and college. They researched the CTE classes in high school and talked about what classes would help them prepare for the job that they hope to get once they enter the working world.
  • Bennett Resume Winners
    • Malory Cameron
    • Anastasia Everwhine
    • Lindsey Scarlette
    • Matthew White
  • Bonlee Resume Winners
    • Fred Hillard
    • Austin Hackney
    • Cassey Pool
    • Hannah Baird
As a follow-up to the resume writing contest, students did personal resumes for jobs right out of high school. This was a good way to get students thinking about what CTE classes would best fit their needs.

From Chatham Central High School - Marijo Measamer, Instructor

On Friday, February 15, 2013, the CTE department at Chatham Central had an ice cream social to cap off CTE week. All CTSO members were invited to attend and were served ice cream with all the trimmings by the CTE teachers at Central. Music was also provided by Walden’s Music. Everyone had a great time while enjoying the ice cream and company of CTSO members.



From Chatham Middle School - Marilyn Dean, Instructor
  1. Students read On Track magazine-your career discovery guide and explored careers. Students were given a handout with questions from the magazine and asked to answer them.
  2. Students watched videos on careers.  Examples: In the Chef’s Kitchen & Designing Dolls (Weekly Newsletter – using Math & Science - The Futures Channel)
  3. Students worked on an Activity from Keyboarding – Word Processing – Advanced Documents - When I Grow Up? They researched careers of interest at http://bls.gov/oco/home.htm.  After research they were asked to choose one career and write a business report on the career.  Directions were given on how to format an Unbound Business Report and guidelines on what information to include in the report.

From Horton/Moncure - Tomeka Hartsfield, Instructor

During CTE month Horton and Moncure students have been researching their careers. We started the section with a survey based on personality traits and career choices and which career cluster fit them best. Upon completion of surveys, we started researching our careers of choice using multiple sources such as the Internet, career encyclopedias, and magazines. The students used their information and developed PowerPoint presentations following a report rubric. Finally, students presented their reports to the class and some students dressed in their career.
