11:00-11:45 a.m. Career-Ready Education Foundation
Option 3
Presenter: Eva Foxwell
Working for over 20 years for a Senior Vice-Chairman in the business world afforded me the opportunity to understand what students really need for a successful career. The Managing the Classroom guide provides exactly what the teachers need, and it DOES NOT take the place of a current curriculum. It incorporates REAL WORLD manager jobs to assist the students in finding a purpose within the classroom as they are learning. They learn to co-teach with their teacher, they feel important, plus have fun learning. This workshop will allow an avenue to integrate career-readiness and improve the structure and overall learning environment. But, not only does it assist the students, but teachers feel more organized, positive and suddenly revived in their job. Managing the Classroom workshop is instrumental, impactful, but simple enough for teachers to implement in their own classrooms.
