Conference Welcome Welcome to the 48th Annual Professional Development Conference.

As the new State Director for the Department of Career and Technical Education, I am honored and excited to be a part of this year’s conference, whose theme is Today’s Success, Tomorrow’s Future. As we move into what some call the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Career and Technical Education has never been more important. Industry and education need to remain connected through partnerships to ensure the skills, whether technical or critical, are acquired. We are being charged to create life-long learners who can adapt as our economy changes, not just perform the jobs of today.

Career and Technical Education is innovation in education. Many of the phrases that are used to describe education innovation include project based learning, work based learning, and competency based learning. These are common practices in CTE. We just haven’t told our story. We haven’t made every program or course offered accessible to every student in North Dakota. We haven’t elevated CTE courses to the next level in the eyes of all stakeholders. As we move into CTE’s future, communication, access, and relevance is key.

This year’s conference agenda is full of information that will help you enhance your teaching and your students’ learning. It contains sessions on how to “market” your program to students, parents, administrators, and employers. Career and Technical Education isn’t for just “those” students. It can be for all students.

Again, welcome to PDC. Please complete the evaluations provided throughout the conference. This will allow the Department of Career and Technical Education staff to improve the services we provide.

Have a great conference!

Sincerely,

Wayde Sick, State Director ND Career and Technical Education

Making a Difference in the Community

Join the CTE Mainstreet initiative.

This is a challenge to all CTSOs to take on a community project to support the Main Street Initiative of creating attractive, vibrant, healthy communities. Our CTE students are young committed local leaders, that will be a catalyst of inspiration and action to build these vibrant communities, improve them, and make them a better place to live. CTSOs provide students many opportunities to develop and participate in community service projects that help them recognize the power they have to make a difference in their own unique communities.

In our great state of North Dakota, Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) positively impact the lives of students every day. CTSOs in our schools, area centers, and post-secondary institutions are more than “clubs” or “extracurricular activities.” Rather, they are an integral part of high-performing career and technical education programs that prepare students to participate in our global economy as world class workers and responsible citizens.

Please share your Making a Difference in the Community story during the year with the CTE state office. Please send newspaper articles, social media, and any other public relations to [email protected] to be included in our database of success stories.

Teacher Educator of the Year Rick Ross

Rick Ross is an associate professor of Career and Technical Education at Valley City State University, where he has been employed for the past 24 years.

Due to his work, VCSU is now delivering online courses to CTE distance

students from across the United States. Rick has developed degree options that allow transferable coursework in technical specialty areas to count toward the bachelor’s degree. This allows VCSU to accept technical coursework from two-year college partners in the North Dakota University System (NDUS) and across the United States.

NDCTEA Award Winner

NDCTEA Administrator of the Year Mark Wagner

Mark Wagner is the Assistant State Director for the North Dakota Department of Career and Technical Education, where he has served for the past three years. Since assuming this state role, he has been at the forefront, listening and advocating for CTE and CTE administrators. He has increased communication between the Department of CTE and directors through timely communication, engaging in conversation, and a willingness to explore new ideas. When planning for directors’ meetings, he solicits input from administrators for agenda items and topics for professional learning, moving meetings from informational

sessions to a professional learning community. His positive rapport with colleagues lends to his ability to collaborate and solve problems. His leadership and presence during the team evaluation process has put secondary and post-secondary leaders at ease, as they are confident his intentions and integrity for feedback are a means toward continuous improvement versus punitive action.

Prior to starting his State position, Wagner served eight years as the Director of the North Valley Area Career and Technology Center in Grafton. In his eight years as an Area Center Director, the area center added additional member schools, added secondary and adult programs, expanded and added course offerings, and increased access to CTE programming for students through the creation of online classes. He initiated the first offering of a Welding Technology course by using an Interactive Video System.

His past educational experiences include twenty-four years at the Beulah Public schools where he served in various instruction and administration roles during his tenure. He was an Agriculture Education Instructor, District Technology Coordinator, Information Technology Instructor, and instructed dual college credit courses in the Cisco Networking Academy.

He received his Associate of Arts Degree from Bismarck State College, Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Education and a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration with emphasis in Career and Technical Education from North Dakota State University.

He has served on multiple state, regional, and national CTE, Technology, Education, and Community boards and foundations.

Making a Difference in the Community

Join the CTE Mainstreet initiative.

This is a challenge to all CTSOs to take on a community project to support the Main Street Initiative of creating attractive, vibrant, healthy communities. Our CTE students are young committed local leaders, that will be a catalyst of inspiration and action to build these vibrant communities, improve them, and make them a better place to live. CTSOs provide students many opportunities to develop and participate in community service projects that help them recognize the power they have to make a difference in their own unique communities.

In our great state of North Dakota, Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) positively impact the lives of students every day. CTSOs in our schools, area centers, and post-secondary institutions are more than “clubs” or “extracurricular activities.” Rather, they are an integral part of high-performing career and technical education programs that prepare students to participate in our global economy as world class workers and responsible citizens.

Please share your Making a Difference in the Community story during the year with the CTE state office. Please send newspaper articles, social media, and any other public relations to [email protected] to be included in our database of success stories.

Conference Welcome Welcome to the 48th Annual Professional Development Conference.

As the new State Director for the Department of Career and Technical Education, I am honored and excited to be a part of this year’s conference, whose theme is Today’s Success, Tomorrow’s Future. As we move into what some call the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Career and Technical Education has never been more important. Industry and education need to remain connected through partnerships to ensure the skills, whether technical or critical, are acquired. We are being charged to create life-long learners who can adapt as our economy changes, not just perform the jobs of today.

Career and Technical Education is innovation in education. Many of the phrases that are used to describe education innovation include project based learning, work based learning, and competency based learning. These are common practices in CTE. We just haven’t told our story. We haven’t made every program or course offered accessible to every student in North Dakota. We haven’t elevated CTE courses to the next level in the eyes of all stakeholders. As we move into CTE’s future, communication, access, and relevance is key.

This year’s conference agenda is full of information that will help you enhance your teaching and your students’ learning. It contains sessions on how to “market” your program to students, parents, administrators, and employers. Career and Technical Education isn’t for just “those” students. It can be for all students.

Again, welcome to PDC. Please complete the evaluations provided throughout the conference. This will allow the Department of Career and Technical Education staff to improve the services we provide.

Have a great conference!

Sincerely,

Wayde Sick, State Director ND Career and Technical Education
