What are everyone's thoughts on the new Career Cluster model? I am not sure I love the "Caring for Communities" and "Creating and Experiencing" clusters. I think it adds more confusion to an already confusing concept for people outside of CTE.

I have a welcoming party with food (ice cream social or pizza) and have a slide presentation that illustrates what fun events the students have participated in. I use the state and national highlight videos. I also have the students that attended nationals share their experiences.

Is there a way we can get a list serve for FCS programs that have Concurrent/Dual Enrollment (with the classes that they offer CE in)? It would be great if we could know who to reach out to as a resource if we had questions.

I need different ideas for Kitchen Safety. I've done the crime scene, I've done dioramas, I've done traditional tests... I dislike teaching it. Who has ideas?

# data[].attributes.body
I would love ideas or people that you all know who would come to the classroom to demonstrate some cooking techniques for my Catering 2 kiddos. I can cook.... but I'm not a professional!

# data[].attributes.body
I really like when we get to do hands on activities (like the cooking class). The tours can be insightful (like the design center, the embassy back of house, the Maverick hotel, and the peach farm, etc.) but can be harder to connect to a student experience (based on locations, classes taught, etc.)

I have been told this conference is really cool! I have also been told to go. I teach Design Seminar, and divide my teaching in sections, so I only touch base on fashion design a smidge.

Types of lessons:

I have the most fun at conferences when teachers can collaborate with each other. I love humor, outrageous student stories, and how to handle them. The roundtable about what different lessons you teach and how. I would even love time to create your "reference or master" of a project to show to your students. Like this is what we are making... and we make it, get the lesson, and bring home a literal lesson completed.

As a younger teacher, we can listen to information all day, and it is important; however, it saves time and promotes learning hands-on when we craft, discuss, and ready lessons for teaching.

The first week is important to share the highlights of what your class can offer - the Why! Use mixers to allow students to find someone they can connect to with some similarities. Have them help set some classroom norms and what teamwork looks like. Mix up the groups often. Set high expectations and share the reason why quality matters.

One of my most common suggestions is to start with the verbiage of your materials, activities and assignments. If you do any sort of costing- call it the 'FCCLA Financial Fitness costing _________'. If you are doing anything with nutrition- call it the 'FCCLA Student Body _________'. If you are doing anything connected to specific career research, materials, focus, etc,- call it the 'FCCLA Career Connection ___________'. Use the verbiage from FCCLA National Programs and Competitive events so that all students in your classes have heard 'FCCLA' and have been involved of smaller components on a daily and weekly basis for month before you implement larger FCCLA things.

If you are on social media, specifically facebook- join some of the local foodie and food truck groups, then reach out to the the the businesses and professionals who post

Would it be worthwhile to have a list (with contact info--emails and phone numbers if they were willing to share) of what people teach and who would be willing to be resources? For instance, a list of people teaching Culinary Essentials, Life Management, Interior Design, ECE, etc.

Our social media is not super active but I feel like we have a wealth of knowledge in our state and it would be so wonderful if we had a way to reach out to people who we knew taught the same things as us.
