April 23, 2015- Recruiting Partners
2:30pm CST Business partners can bring tremendous value to your CTE program, but many educators find this to be the most challenging piece of their jobs. Where can you find partners? How can you build relationships and recruit them into your program? And how do you establish an effective working relationship? During this webinar, we will look at each of these issues, helping you build a team of partners who can provide resources and opportunities for students and staff.
May 20, 2015- Advisory Committees
2:30pm CST Advisory committees are essential to an effective CTE program: They ensure program quality and relevance, help you provide students and staff with new opportunities and resources, and connect you with the larger community. During this webinar, we will cover the essentials of effective advisory committees: How to design an effective structure, how to recruit members, and how to manage your board in order to set and achieve your goals.
June 17, 2015- Partnership Design and Evaluation
2:30pm CST Partnership design and evaluation can be intimidating: How do you design a partnership that works? How do you know what to measure, and how? This webinar will introduce the concept of the Logic Model, which will help you lay out the thinking behind your partnership program by helping you to identify your starting point, desired end point, and means for bridging the gap between the two. We’ll also look at some ways that you can measure outcomes and evaluate your impact.
See you at the webinars!
