Utah ACTE 2025

Seniors in the Education Pathway at Career Tech High School have the opportunity to be hired to work as paraprofessionals at local elementary schools. These students are paid the same rate as any other paraprofessional, AND they earn high school credit while doing so. This opportunity is possible through the innovative vision and direction of the Washington County School District and the CTHS Administration. This presentation will discuss the pathway creation, course requirements, and work-based learning requirements in order to qualify for a paraprofessional paid student internship. Students will share their experiences in each of these settings as well as what they have learned through each phase of this program. Ultimately, this presentation will strive to address this student question, "Why should I be in this pathway?"

Workshop Description: This workshop will focus on developing effective traditional and performance-based assessments for the Ag Ed classroom and lab. We will also discuss and share resources available to help teachers with assessments. There will be time for Q & A and sharing of best practices related to assessment in Ag Ed.

This workshop with help you stay out of your own head about SpEd inclusion in the classroom.
