And that each district will just get a lump sum from the state and they will individually have to decide about divving up the funds for CDIP and ASCENT? Can you clarify?

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.

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.

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.

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.
