Welcome back to the 2010-11 school year. It will be the best ever as we all work to build roads to success for our student and to enhance our own professional lives. WOW! That about sums up how people felt about the 35th annual ACTE Professional Development conference held in Tucson in July. It was a great opportunity to see old friends, meet new ones, learn new skills and network with other professionals throughout our great state. Pat yourself on the back if you were one of 1100+ that took advantage of this opportunity. Once again, the Association would like to thank the Arizona Department of Education and Arizona Tech Prep for continuing the tradition of collaboration in making this event one of the premier state conferences in the nation. Hard to believe, but plans are already underway for the 2011 Conference scheduled for July 15-20, 2011. Mark your calendars now!
Currently, plans are underway for the annual Leadership Retreat planned for September 17-18th in Tucson. This will include all of the state and affiliate officers, program liaisons, fellows and other representatives from appropriate stakeholder groups. This group will work to develop the program of activities for the current year. If you have any ideas or suggestions for the upcoming year, please contact Pam Ferguson, Executive Director for your Association (contact information in this Newsletter).
Once again, I hope that this school year is all that you hope for and that you and your students enjoy tremendous success. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the President of our State Association and if there is anything that I can do to help you or if you have ideas that will make the Association better, don’t hesitate to contact me. Now go out and build those roads to success for yourselves and the students you serve.
Sincerely,
Dean Petersen
ACTEAZ President |

Leading by Learning
For
all of us in Career Technical Education, this is an excellent
opportunity to learn how to continue strong leadership in the CTE
Community by learning with the best!
|
| This year is our 35th Anniversary Year for the ACTE Conference in
Arizona. Some of us can even take pride in the fact that we were in
attendance at the f rst conference!!! Some of us were there but hate
to admit it only because that makes us realize how many years young we
really are!! But ALL of US do remember the great learning
opportunities that we have been privy to for 35 years of excellent
training, invaluable networking and leadership in Arizona and National
Career and Technical Education. Each year, we have had “top flight”
educational presentations that has challenged each of us to be on the
cutting edge of Career Technical Education and our specific CTE
Curriculum fields. Another stellar feature of our ACTE Conference is
the facilitated peer-to-peer sessions, where you have discussed the
latest and greatest educational
strategies for the best opportunities
for student achievement in our classes. Over the decades I have been
in CTE, this component has been one of the most beneficial to me as a
teacher because I could learn from those who had proven track records
with excellent student achievement results and they were so willing to
share all their resources and lessons. Today, this remains a viable
component of the conference. All of us can relate to Sharing 101 and
the unique CTE self-reinforcing loop of professionalism, enthusiasm,
dedication and commitment to our passion for Career Technical
Education and its role in student achievement and workforce development
in our state. CTE’s fingerprint on the student achievement data is
signif cant and I am confident we will see you at the 35th Anniversary
Conference to maintain the momentum, experience the new trends and data
we must learn for industry in our state and globally. |
