Hello to All of the Vocational Instructors
Vocational Frameworks You may remember that last spring, DESE formed new committees to review and evaluate the existing Vocational Frameworks. DESE has just released a DRAFT of the revised frameworks. These drafts are currently on the school website. Go to www.ssvotech.org, click on "faculty and and staff" scroll down and you will see Draft CTE Curriculum Frameworks
click on that and you will see all of the VTE Frameworks for all vocational programs. Scroll down until you find yours.
Please preview this draft before the meeting. During our Fall Advisory meeting, you will be reviewing these drafts with your committee and voting whether to validate them or not. I will be sending each department a validation form.
Budget Reviews.
This is just a reminder that Tom has sent the cost center information (budget info) to all departments. Over the next couple of weeks, I would like to sit down with the department heads and review your budget with you. Please take a particular look at your line item for office supplies. Do you know how much you are spending for pencils and pens? Is this something that you might be able to control? Any suggestions?
Advisory Member List
Update your advisory list. Please get the email addresses so that we can communicate more efficiently with our members. Remember to invite a parent and a student to meet with the advisers If you have a student on Coop, or is working in the industry in some way, please invite their supervisor to come to the meeting. The more the merrier.
Adviser can't make to the meeting? Can you communicate by email? video chat? Have you set up a conference call? If you communicate in any of theses ways, please document this in your minutes
Remember there is a Department Head meeting at 1pm on Oct. 24 We can talk about this in more depth then
