What are you doing to truly engage your students and to help them be successful?
We would love to hear stories from your program to feature in this monthly update.
- Are you engaging students in critical thinking through literature that connects with current events?
- Are you introducing students to their community in the world of maritime, flight, or farming trades?
- Does your program emphasize job skills and prepare students for the world of work?
- Do you use digital apps or computer-based software to increase student engagement?
- Are students pursuing pre-college courses and moving into interest-based college programs?
