NEW CTE SUMMER CONFERENCE FORMAT
WAS WELL-RECEIVED
Attendees at the 2010 Career & Technical Education Summer Conference followed a new
conference format this year.
Department of Public Instruction staff and NCACTE Leadership organized a new 3-day
conference schedule instead of the more traditional 3-1/2 day conference attendees have
been used to for many years.
Comments were mixed, but many of the attendees questioned found
the new 3-day conference packed with the same amount of
information and excitement as previous conferences. If you have not
completed your conference survey yet, your comments are extremely
beneficial. You must complete the survey (received by email) in
order to receive your CEUs for attending the conference.

From Your President . . . . .
I certainly hope each Career-Technical Education teacher,
administrator and support personnel experiences a smooth
transition from summer to school as well as a successful
first quarter. By now, many of you are immersed in
accountability issues, curriculum and instructional
matters, parent and student concerns, personal and
professional enrichment opportunities and many other
educationally innovative matters. Each of these items
demonstrate a small portion of what NCACTE members
do to prepare students with globally competitive skills for
the 21st century. Empowering today’s workforce for
tomorrow’s challenges is what CTE does best!
I am planning to attend
the 2010 ACTE Career
Tech expo in Las Vegas
on December 2-4. It is
my desire to have as
many of you as possible
to join me as we voice
our concerns and
provide support to Dr.
Gary Moore. You may
contact any Board of
Directors member to express any questions, concerns or
comments. We are here to act on your behalf. Let us
know….remember….stop the yapping and make it
happen!
I truly appreciate your dedication to sharing your
expertise and love to our future ready students and to our
professional organization. NCATCE is comprised of
thirteen divisions across the state. Unfortunately our
membership numbers have dramatically decreased. I am
looking forward to assisting with increasing members to
1200 members. Please continue to make positive impacts
with new and non-renewed colleagues. Let’s stop yapping
and make it happen!!
I want to encourage you to involve tour Legislative
committee members to communicate your concerns. It is
always appropriate to contact your local, state and
national elected officials as well. We need to educate
everyone about the great things we do in Career Technical
Education. Brag about your accomplishments, CTSO
activities and classroom matters. Invite them into your
room and allow them to become participants.
I have been quite busy representing you and marketing
NCACTE to new and seasoned professionals. I am
asking all members to continue encouraging everyone
across your LEA to join us. We do an excellent job of
joining and renewing while at summer conference,
however once we leave Greensboro…we forget. I ask
each division’s president to utilize strategies to expand
our membership base. Also, NCACTE is looking to
recognize all ―life members‖. Please notify me if you are
a life member in your division or state.
We are a very strong force! Let us pull together and get
the recognition we deserve. CTE has the answer for
preparing all students to become productive citizens.
Allow NCACTE to work for you. I look forward to
seeing you as I travel across North Carolina representing
you.

setting is quite intimate for discussions and networking.
Feel free to visit our website: ncacteonline.org for
pertinent information.
The NCACTE Fall Professional Development Conference
and Board of Director’s will be held in Raleigh, NC,
October 15-16 at the Holiday Inn Brownstone. I am
expressing my appreciation in advance…thanks for
representing and participating. I expect all chairpersons
to contact your committee persons so as to discuss and
solidify NCACTE goals for the 2010-11 year. All topics
of discussion will be interesting and enlightening. Also,
remember to bring an item or two for the auction.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
Tom Jones, NCACTE Executive Director
The 2010 CTE Summer Conference is over and by the
time you receive this newsletter another school year
may have begun. I hope that all of you will enjoy a
good start, and are anticipating lots of good things
happening during the 2010-11 school year. The new
leadership in your association is eager to serve, and I
believe that you can expect this year’s leadership team
to work hard and represent your association and your
interests in a very professional and excellent manner.
State
lawmakers
were faced with some
very
difficult
decisions--decisions
that stood no chance
of
pleasing
everybody.
Our
NCACTE Legislative
Policy Day could not
have been better
planned and timed. Our direct contacts organized by
our lobbyist, Dave Simpson, and our Legislative
Committee chaired by Aaron Fleming succeeded in
rallying support for CTE; and the budget language
specifically targeting CTE was deleted from the state
budget.
I have been impressed with the diligent work of many
of our state association committees. The emphasis we
have placed on committee work over the past several
years is beginning to show some results. I have noticed
increased communications and an improved follow
through with a committee's respective program of
work.
Our president appointed several special
committees this year that have also been working hard
on special projects.
One such committee was
appointed to work on improving the appearance of our
membership form. While this work is ongoing, some
worthy ideas have been mentioned; and I am confident
these ideas will result in an improved membership form
in the near future. Another special committee was
assigned to work on developing a new membership
category--unit membership.
The Assembly of
Delegates approved an amendment in July that added
"Unit Membership" as a new membership category.
We are hopeful that the inclusion of the "Unit
Membership" category will result in a significant
increase in state membership for this fiscal year. I also
want to mention another special committee appointed
this year whose work has just begun. NCACTE will be
hosting the 2011 ACTE Region II Leadership
Conference. A committee has been appointed by Ruth
Huff (2009-10 NCACTE President) to put together the
conference program and activities. The conference will
be in Asheville, September 27-October 2, 2011.
Even though our advocacy efforts have kept CTE from
being directly harmed by the state budget, local school
systems are still feeling the sting of decreased state
funding and are having to make budget cuts that in
many instances include CTE staff. Loss of CTE
positions, travel restrictions, and apathy have all
contributed to a decrease in our state association's
membership. We have declined from 977 members in
July 2009, to 792 members in July 2010. When one
considers the significant impact that NCACTE has had
on protecting CTE funding, it is difficult for me to
understand how anyone related to career & technical
education can justify not supporting the only
professional organization whose advocacy efforts are
directly related to the promotion and protection of
career & technical education.
NCACTE has done many good things, and our
members have shown a dedication and willingness to
involve themselves in advocacy efforts and other
professional association projects; yet still we are losing
ground in terms of membership and in terms of
financial security. Unless we are able to really increase
our membership and our revenues, we are looking at a
significant change in the way that our association does
business. I will be asking the leadership of our
association to focus on the following:
Consider new and different ways to provide staff
development activities.
Consider new and different ways to increase
membership.

Last year we were very concerned about North
Carolina's budget crisis. I made the comment in last
year's report that the state's budget crisis is having some
very negative and dramatic consequences for public
education, and this in turn is affecting the financial
security of our state association. The budget crisis
continues, and in fact, is getting worse. This year we
were threatened with losing approximately $56 million
dollars. This was a very real and aggressive threat.

From Your Past President . . . .
As we begin a new school year, I have enjoyed watching the TV
commercial for Shredded Wheat. The commercial counts down to the first
day of school and then shouts ―Happy New School Year!‖ These are my
thoughts for each educator as you embark on an exciting and productive
school year, full of many challenges and opportunities to make you a
stronger professional. One great opportunity I encourage all to take
advantages of is to join NCACTE. If you are already a member then you
have started your year providing yourself with one great opportunity. As
chairman of the Membership Committee I look forward to working with your
division president and you to create new and innovative ways to increase
membership and to offer more opportunities through your membership.
For those of you who are now new members through unit membership, welcome. We are here to help the
profession with support, staff development and advocacy. Please take advantage of the opportunities and
become an active member. We must continuously work to grow new leaders and to provide support for
Career and Technical Education programs. You could become one of those new leaders.
If you are not a member at this time, please know that an entire family of supporters are here working for
you to make Career and Technical Education better. The family of CTE is waiting for you to become a
part of us. A membership application is included in this newsletter just waiting for you to complete and
send to become a member. If you are a member I challenge you to go back to your school and recruit
new or old members that have forgotten to renew.
Thank you for your support last year as I served as your president. I know you will give Wanda the same
support as she works for our association. It was my pleasure to serve as president and now as immediate
past president. For 25 years I have given my support to this association and I plan to continue for years
to come. If you have membership questions please let us know so we can help.
Ruth Huff, NCACTE Past President
Continued from previous page
Continue to develop a strong relationship
between NCACTE and NC-DPI that will
allow the professional organization to take
a more active role in providing staff
development opportunities.
Continue efforts to enhance the exposure that
the Summer Conference Exhibitors'
Showcase receives.
Organize a special committee that will develop
strategies that will allow the divisions to
assume more responsibility for the welfare
of the state association.
Assess the probability of having future
Summer Conferences. NCACTE will need
to take the lead in making certain that
Summer Conference will be a continuing
activity.
This year we lost membership and we lost money.
Obviously, this is cause for concern. I hope that our
teachers and administrators will begin to see more than ever
the importance of our professional organization. We have a
strong legislative advocacy process in place that has been
very influential over the past several years. The advocacy
efforts of our state and national associations will be critical
during the coming months. If we allow our association to
decline we will lose the most powerful advocacy tool that
we have. We cannot let this happen. Let's pull together to
keep our association strong. Challenges can present
opportunities. Opportunities can be turned into success
stories. It's time that we use our creativity to develop a new
way of doing business. I serve this organization with a firm
resolve to do my very best. This organization means a lot to
me and I pray that my efforts combined with the efforts of
our association leadership will result in its steady
improvement and continued prosperity.

Administration Division
Friends and Colleagues:
It was great to see many of you at the 2010 Summer
Conference at the Koury Center in Greensboro, North
Carolina. It's hard to believe but it's that time of the year
again - the beginning of a new school year. Welcome back!
This year will bring several economic challenges as we
begin to administer our programs and services to our
stakeholders in both the public and private sectors. It is
extremely important that we continue to come together with
our association and encourage others to join us.
As your 2010 NCACTEA President, we will continue the work that has started in building
our organizations through unit membership, the strategic plan, and providing quality staff
development (fall, spring, summer conference). Our 2010 Administrator's Fall
Conference will be at the Embassy Suites in Cary, NC on October 20-22, 2010. Our
theme is "Career and College...Ready, Set, Go!" which will expand on the Governor's
current education initiative. Together we can achieve wonderful things.
There's a lot of excitement ahead of us, Elements Implementation, Microsoft Academy
(ITA), the CTE A&R System and other local initiatives in the LEA's. As the new 2010
ACTE theme: Learning Today...Earning Tomorrow suggest, we must continue to grow
our future in CTE.
Thank you for your commitment to Career Technical Education Programs in North
Carolina.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Laureen G. Jones, Ed.S
2010 NCACTEA President

FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES DIVISION
Linda West & Linda Johnson
Wow! Is it really the 2010-2011 school year? The start of a new school year always bring with it new beginnings. It
brings a fresh new start: new students, new colleagues, new curriculums, and new ideas. This year our FACS theme
―Recalling Our Calling----Refocusing our Future‖ really hit home. As we keep the best of our best, there is always
room for new ideas. Summer Conference brought many new ideas for the upcoming school year. It was a time to
share ideas and see what works for others, but also a time to renew old friendships and make new ones too. Many
Family and Consumer Sciences teachers and others shared their imaginative and unique ideas and teaching techniques
with us all.

A note from our new FACS President Linda Johnson
My favorite quote is ―Stand up for what you believe, even if you are standing alone.‖ What
I am asking each Family and Consumer and Sciences professional to do this year is to stand
up and be counted as a member of your profession, but you definitely will NOT be standing
alone. We have lots to accomplish this year and these goals are outline in organization and
division’s strategic plans. The goals focus on increasing our membership, being informed
and involved in legislative efforts, participating in professional conferences, encouraging
professionalism, seeking out business partnerships, and leadership development of
members. We need to be strong in numbers to accomplish all of these goals, so I am asking
you to be become a member of the FACS division, NCACTE and ACTE.
I wish each of you the best during the 2010-2011 school year. If I can assist you in any way, please contact me at

NC-ALIVE Division
Greeting from your 2010-2011 North Carolina American Leadership Institute for Vocational Education (NC-ALIVE) President,
Linda Wiggins.
As we embark upon a new year, we will face many challenges. However; through collaboration, and networking, we can focus our
attention towards developing ―the Professional Development Institute‖ for educators, administrators, and others desiring to
develop effective leadership skills and educational leadership among members of diverse populations within Career and Technical
Education, next spring.
Our first meeting will be a strategy session that is tentatively scheduled for September. The Leadership Institute for Vocational
Educators (LIVE) and the future plans of (NC-Alive) will be discussed at that time.
The goal of our NCACTE President- Wanda Robinson is to increase membership from 800 to 1200 before the end of her term,
July 2011. The challenge for NCACTE is to increase membership by 33% growth within that timeframe. As a division in the
association, we challenge our members to seek 33% growth in the membership of NC-ALIVE. This means that we must recruit
new members and encourage current inactive members to renew their membership in the division. NC-ALIVE membership
currently consists of (51) members.
“WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER.”
Our past president, Kerry Baldwin started a campaign of sponsoring a new member to NCALIVE by collecting pocket change for
the purpose of paying a new persons membership to our division. We had several people that actually accomplished this task.
―Would you like to follow the lead of those individuals?‖ Although you may be a member, this could be a way for you to sponsor
a new member or if you are not currently a member, this could become a way for you to sponsor your own membership!
The NC-Alive newsletter is scheduled for publication this fall. If you have articles that you would like to submit, email them to
the newsletter chair.
We look forward to continuing the NC-Alive Scholarship, the August B. White Award, and the Trailblazer Awards. We need
your help in order to make this happen. If you have any recommendations or suggestions for either of these awards, please
forward the information to me, and the awards committee chair, Helena Hendrix-Frye at the email addresses below. The
scholarship information will be forthcoming in the NC-ALIVE Newsletter.

Instructional Management Division
“If there is No Struggle, there is No Progress”
The new instructional management pilot has successfully been completed! The process of state-wide
implementation is beginning. There is a major shift in the way we operate in the IMC position. The Instructional
Management Coordinator position will be more curriculum-focused. We will no longer be the driver of the data; we
will let Elements go on auto pilot. All data will be automatically driven by this system. This will give us time to work
more on professional development and one-on-one with teachers in the trenches. This is all possible because of the
partnership between the developers of ―Elements‖, a Thinkgate Limited Liability Corporation and the North Carolina
Department of Public Instruction.
We have to understand that ―If there is no struggle, there is no progress‖ (Frederick Douglass, 1857). IMC’s are
going to have to meditate on this from time-to-time. There are major changes to our instructional management
system, but trust us, it is worth the initial challenge. You will get frustrated and struggle, but you and your teachers
will get through it and advance to a higher level of assessment and evaluation. You will get excited over the various
ways you can assess students. We know variety is the spice of life. The data we receive from Elements is in-depth,
immediate, and easy to access, because of its connection to NCWISE and Special Population data.
The biggest obstacle that an IMC will have this year is planning for professional development using the Elements
software. Look over your materials given to you at Summer Conference and on the ftp site. The NCDPI team and
pilot members have posted many of the strategies to this site. Make contact with pilot sites to see what worked for
them. Personally, as a member of a pilot site, some of the strategies we used we would not repeat and others
worked great. NCDPI is requesting that all IMCs go back to the regional monthly meetings during this transition
period. It is my understanding that ―best practices‖ and collaboration among regions is the way it worked when the
state implemented CMS95.
Is testing a major event in your LEA? With Elements, testing is a breeze! You will love how data becomes almost
instant to you, your principal(s), and your teachers. No more printing sub-test lists—a process that took, what
seemed like, a hundred clicks. Anyone get ―trigger finger‖ during testing? With this system, this is no longer a
concern, time will be freed up. You will no longer have to upload data to the state; once it is scanned you are
complete—yes, it is that simple!
Membership
Membership in our division is a must. I am going to give you the brutal truth. If you wear the IMC title, you should
be member of the IMC division. To be a separate division, we are required to have a minimum membership of 50
members. At the CTE Summer Conference we were below that requirement. With our state having over 100 LEAs,
that shouldn’t be an issue. Please contact [email protected] to renew or add membership to our
division. The success of the IMC division depends on you! You are the beneficiary. You help determine the
success of your LEA (teachers and students alike). Can we count on you? If so, please let us know.

Business Education Division
Welcome Message from NCACTE-Business Division President
Welcome from George E. Brooks your NCACTE Business President for the Year 2010-2011.
At this time I would like to share a welcome message to all our NCACTE-Business Division Members.
I would like to begin by giving a well deserved thank you to all the Business Division Officers,
Committee Chairs and Committee Members who served our Business Division throughout the past year.
Your service to our Division is greatly appreciated.
First, here is some quick background information to introduce myself to our Business Division.
I am currently beginning my 17th year as a Business Educator teaching at South View High School,
Cumberland County in the town of Hope Mills. This year I will be teaching BE6412 Multimedia and
Webpage Design, BE6411 Computer Applications-I, BE6215 Business Law, and (IB Academy)
Information in a Global Society.
I have a BS from Methodist University located here in Fayetteville and over 23 years experience in the U.S. Army prior to
entering the teaching field in 1993. I retired as a Chief Warrant Officer Two and am a veteran of Desert Shield and Desert Storm. I
am married to a wonderful wife Charlotte and we have two great children. Caitlin, age seven will be entering 2 nd Grade and
Ephram, age four will be entering pre-school. Charlotte will be a CTE Facilitator at Terry Sanford High School this school year.
I have served on the Legislative Committee and was appointed as President Elect of NCACTE-Business Division for the
Year 2009-2010. At the state level, I have also served on the NCACTE Resolution Committee over the past few years.
As always our biggest challenge for our Division is recruiting new and previous members, so I am asking everyone to
locate new members and remind any pervious members to rejoin our Business Division. I am looking for suggestions to make our
Division better, so if you have any suggestions please share them with our Officers and Committee Chairs.
In closing I look forward to working with you to grow a stronger membership, a stronger voice for our division and
serving as your NCACTE-Business Division President. Remember there is power in numbers!!

Trade & Industrial Education Division
Welcome back T&I teachers. Another school year is
upon us. The 2010-2011 year promises to be quite a
challenge for all of us across the state. When we
departed from Greensboro two weeks ago, I thought I
might get some needed R&R. Boy, was I ever so wrong.
I had hardly unpacked my bags when the phone started
ringing. It has not quit with the upcoming year's planning
needed to be accomplished. I must say though, the task
is being made much easier because of our amazing T&I
officers and support staff that is in place.
This Fall, T&I will have eight
regional update meetings
sponsored by NCTIETA through the support of industry
and business. These eight updates will occur across NC
in every region at a designated High School during
September and October. Check with your CTE Director
on the dates and sites to be held. We will also try to post
these on our website. During these regional update
meetings, we will be looking for regional representatives
to be our contacts for membership purposes, what
Professional Development is needed, and to develop
these reps as future NCTIETA leaders. If you are
interested in becoming a region representative, let me or
David Barbour([email protected]) know.
Our new officers are; David Barbour-President Elect,
Patricia Barnard-Past President, Tammy BradleySecretary, and Tony Bello-Treasurer. I believe this
group of outstanding T&I professionals are as good as
you can get. I have to say a hardy Thank you to Patricia
Barnard. Pat has served all of us in T&I in the most
distinquished and dignified manner, served as my
mentor, and has become a friend of mine. Also, a thank
you to her husband John, who has done so much for our
organization. Our new President Elect, David Barbour,
brings to our organization great leadership and many
other traits like having numerous contacts. Tammy
Bradley, our Secretary, is always willing to go the extra
mile and keep us on the right track. Tony Bello, our
Treasurer, has a wealth of knowledge about our
financial needs and how to make every dollar work for
T&I. All of these officers lead with enthusiasm and
determination that will help us to exceed our goals. Also,
kudos to Tony for the great socials at Summer
Conference. Todd Thibault, thanks for all you do.
The Trade and Industrial division is a large division and
most of you are not NCACTE members. NCACTE/
NCTIETA needs your support now more than ever.
Without NCACTE, some of us would not be reading this
article. Be the Professional that you are, join NCACTE/
NCTIETA today. "Scratch the back that scratches
yours." NCACTE saved $55,000,000.00 in man
months of employment in May. An application form is
in this newsletter. National/State/Division membership is
$136. You can get $1,000,000.00 of liability insurance
for only $99.00. Total $235.00(1/2 of NCAE)
That is all for now. Good Luck on the coming year.

Special Needs Division
Katherine Sapp – President
I hope each of you had a restful and relaxing summer break. I would like to share
a few important happenings in Special Needs:
I would like to first of all THANK each member who joined the Special Needs
Division either for the first time or as a renewing member. Our division was in
danger of losing it status due to low membership. Each division requires a
minimum of 51 active members. Prior to summer conference, our division had 29
members. We had to obtain 22 members in three days in order to keep our
division. Thanks to the efforts of Mary Blackburn, Sharon Gainey, and Ruby
McLean, our goal was met. Thanks again to EVERYONE who supported our
division. I would like to encourage you to continue to support our professional
organization and ask others to consider joining as well. NCACTE provides so many benefits to all of us working in
Career Technical Education.
Special Needs held a fundraising raffle and collected $125.00. Thanks to everyone who purchased a ticket. Our
division also raised $90.00 for the NCACTE general fundraiser.
The Special Needs Division awarded two scholarships this summer, $500.00 each to Jason Croce and LaQuanda
Jones. Jason is a graduate of Salisbury High School. He plans to attend Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in
Salisbury. LaQuanda graduated from South Robeson High School. She plans to attend Fayetteville State University
this fall. Congratulations Jason and LaQuanda!!!

Guidance Division
The 2010-2011 NCACTE Guidance Division Officers
and Committee Chairpersons were installed during the
division meeting session at Summer Conference by Bena
Weires. They are as follows:
“Invest in Your Future with the NCACTE Guidance
Division” was our theme for summer conference. If you
were in attendance, I am sure you saw your Guidance
Division officers spreading the word everywhere about
the benefits of your membership in NCACTE. I hope
you were able to join us for the wonderful reception cosponsored by Johnson & Wales University and Futures
for Kids, not to mention the educational programs
provided by the state staff. If you were not able to attend,
you were missed. Hopefully, your schedule next year
will allow you to attend this very important staff
development opportunity.

Ways and Means – Allison Parker
As the new school year begins, please continue to be the
advocate for CTE in your schools and community. Many
expressed an interest in joining at conference, but much
work is needed to increase our membership to an
acceptable level. As I stated at summer conference, we
are the citizens of CTE, and must be good stewards of
our programs. With approximately 330 CDC/SPC’s in
the state, we only have 70 current members, leaving
much room for growth and improvement. ―Each one,
reach one‖ can double our voice in the state legislature,
ensuring our CTE programs in NC remain strong and our
jobs secure. I continue to believe our challenge is great,
but our potential even greater. We are proud of CTE and
are equipped to make a difference in our student’s lives
and to provide a direct impact on the workforce of
tomorrow.
The Guidance Division registration table displayed a
wheel of fortune type game where participants could play
by purchasing ―2 spins for $1‖. By spinning the roulette
wheel, participants could win a chance to put their name
into one of the four prize drawing pots. They consisted
of: $25 money tree; basket of NC products; gift cards
totaling $70 to various restaurants/department stores; and
split the pot. Winners were announced during the break
before closing session.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Bena Weires for
representing the Guidance Division as our candidate for
NCACTE President Elect. Bena has had a strong
presence in NCACTE for many years and along with her
experience, will bring to this office her dedication and
passion for CTE. Please support Bena with your votes
for NCACTE President Elect.
I leave the position of President of the Guidance
Division; however, I will continue my commitment to
NCACTE. Thank you for the opportunity to serve our
division this year and I wish each of you a successful
school year. I appreciate the hard work of our division
officers this year and appreciate each of you for your
dedication to NCACTE, the Guidance Division, and to
CTE programs across our state.
Judy Harrington operates the roulette wheel while
Liz Vaden and Angela Thomas prepare the money
tree at the Guidance Division registration table.

Guidance Division Continued
Summer Conference provides an excellent learning opportunity where we get to attend productive sessions and
gather ideas from many sources. Career Development held two CDC/SPC round table sessions that were a huge
success. Participants were given a program listing 20 round table discussion groups. During each of the two
sessions, participants got to choose five 15 minute mini-sessions. Topics such as work-based learning, CDP+,
College Tech Prep, and grant writing
were presented by experienced
professionals who shared their expertise
on the topic. It is always enlightening to
hear and learn what others are doing to
promote and advance Career and
Technical Education.
If you have any information that you
would like to share with other members,
please send it to me at
[email protected] and I will be
happy to include it in the next
newsletter.

Carolyn Banks
takes over as
President of the
NCTEA from Dr.
Joe Busby during
the Summer CTE
Conference held in
Greensboro, NC.
Morris’ project is to create teaching materials. He is
working with RCC Dean of Instructional Services Carl
Howald and Mechanical Engineering Technology
Department Chairman Dr. Randy Henson to determine
what objects should be created for use at both the high
school and college levels. Morris teaches Principles of
Technology and Computer Networking at RSHS.

―The project will be physics related and focus on the
STEM related content areas of science, technology,
engineering, and math,‖ said Morris.
The seminar covered basic modeling, materials, lighting,
rendering, and animation. Participants said it is the same
software used to animate commercials and movies.
A recent seminar
using Autodesk
3D Max
software was
presented at
Richmond
Community
College in
participation
with the Kenan
Fellowship
Program. (l-r)
Kenan Fellows Sandre Lane of Laurel Hill and Fred
Morris of Rockingham are joined by Richmond Senior
High School student Grady Lorenzo and RSHS
Architectural Drafting instructor Greg Norton in
learning how to create models using the animation
software. Mark Winslow (standing) was the trainer.
Morris will develop teaching materials for use with the
i3D systems at the college and high school.
Grady Lorenzo, a senior at Richmond Senior High
School, is a certified i3D trainer and will teach other
students how to use basic programming and game
simulation this year. He said his strengths lie in
programming, but the seminar allowed him to improve
his modeling skills.
RCC Mechanical Engineering Technology major Israel
Braddock said the program is similar to the AutoCad
program used at RCC and adds another level of design.
―It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to attend such a
seminar that is so costly and do it at no charge. There are
lots of jobs available to people skilled in this software.
It’s a great skill to have,‖ said Braddock.
The Kenan Fellowship Program at Richmond
Community College is already benefitting the
community. RCC recently sponsored a seminar to train
RCC’s Kenan Fellow Fred Morris of Rockingham and
Mechanical Engineering Technology Chairman Dr.
Randy Henson to use 3D software. The seminar was
opened at no cost to 14 faculty and students from RCC
and local high schools.
Henson said the software could be used by his students
in projects for their capstone courses during their last
semester of study.
Sandre Lane is a Kenan Fellow who teaches at Carver
Middle School in Laurel Hill. Her project also involves
3D technology.
―This training session is designed to help participants
learn to model using Autodesk 3D Max software. The
reason it was offered is because the Kenan Fellowship
was awarded to create teaching objects for use with the
i3D systems in our classrooms. This proves the
fellowship program is paying dividends, because we are
―It’s amazing and challenging to be exposed to this type
of technology. I have learned a great deal and will be
able to bring new concepts into my classroom,‖ she said.

the institute will help draw more focus to the
Technology and Engineering portion of STEM.
Vice President for Instruction Johnnie Simpson said
representatives from BRAC, the Department of Defense
Base Realignment and Closure Commission, have met
with representatives from education, business, industry,

inaugural Siemens STEM Institute this summer.
Selected from a pool of nearly 600 applicants, these
Fellows will spend a week at the world headquarters of
Discovery Communications, outside Washington, D.C.,
where they will be immersed in hands-on STEM
professional development. Educators will spend the
week engaging with top scientists, thought leaders,
personalities and innovators and visiting leading
institutions where they will observe real-world
applications of STEM subject matter and find
opportunities for networking and collaborating with
peers from across the nation.
―A chance encounter with a Kenan Fellow
representative at a BRAC meeting gave me the
opportunity to say RCC would love to host a fellow and
that community colleges should be given consideration
when selecting partners. I am delighted we are able to
participate. It’s also nice to know that 12 of the 19
Kenan Fellows from the Class of 2010- 2012 are from
the BRAC region,‖ said Simpson.
RCC President Dr. Dale McInnis said participating in
the Kenan Fellowship Program strengthens the college’s
curricula as well as its partnership with universities and
public schools.
News from North Carolina State University
The NC State University Technology Education
undergraduate program has recently been revised. The
previous TED and GC (Graphic Communications)
faculties have joined hands and to become the new
Technology, Engineering and Design Education
Program. Input and collaboration was secured with the
colleges of Engineering and Design. The new program
designation is TDE. Enrollment trends are already
showing some growth as the new name better identifies
our curriculum and separates us from school media
technology. All majors in the new TDE curriculum are
licensure candidates and we are phasing out the nonlicensure components.
Still, the numbers are
up! Placing student teachers and interns is becoming
more challenging and we are beginning to place them
further from NCSU. If you would be interested in
hosting one this Spring Term, get in touch with Jim
Haynie at
[email protected]
The formal process of placing a student teacher actually
must initiate through the school administration, but we
do not even want to ask for placements with teachers
who wish not to participate. Must be a fully licensed
Technology Education teacher in middle or high school
with 5 years experience. We especially seek schools
that incorporate TSA as we have found that this is
valuable for students. We might have as many as 20
student teachers this Spring.
―Ultimately, we will better serve our students and the
businesses and industries that employ them. The need to
integrate STEM related concepts is evidenced by the
customized training we provide industry. As technology
advances in the workplace, we must prepare our
graduates to be competitive for these jobs,‖ said McInnis.
Morris said hosting the three-day training session shows
the value of having RCC in the community.
―RCC is important for more than just the academic
programs it provides to adults. Providing the extra
things, such as this training, Truck Day for first graders,
and other programs is important to our community.
Having the Cole Auditorium and the DeWitt Performing
Arts Series reaches people who otherwise could not
attend such performances. Just having the facilities for
community members to use for other functions is
important. We all need to realize exactly how much
RCC contributes to our quality of life,‖ said Morris.

Health Occupations Division
The Summer CTE Conference was held July 18-22, 2010 at the Sheraton
in Greensboro, NC. Through the teamwork of NCACTE and NC DPI, the
Summer CTE Conference was a wonderful success.
During the conference, NCHOETA found itself busy. President Nicole
Motley and Debbie Wagner arrived on Sunday July 18, 2010 to meet the
35 new teachers attending the New Teacher Workshop. NCHOETA
sponsored a breakfast for the new teachers at Biscuitville on Monday,
July 19, 2010 at 7:00am.
NCHOETA Preconference seminar was also held on Monday, July 19,
2010 at UNC Greensboro. Our professional development committee
member, Teresa Harris, arranged for teachers to learn more about
infection control issues related to the pandemic flu and MRSA, as well as, how to handle stress and the
challenges of being a SUPERWOMAN as a teacher. Continuing education credits toward nursing
licensure was provided for those in attendance.
As teachers arrived at the registration booths in the conference hall, they were able to visit the multiple
exhibits throughout the room while enjoying a cherry 7-up slushy from the NCHOETA booth. The goal of
NCHOETA was for teachers in the Health Occupations Program to ―Sit Back and Relax in Paradise and
Let NCHOETA Work for You!‖
On July 21, 2010, NCHOETA hosted a reception for Ruth Huff, a retired health occupation teacher who
served as the NCACTE President this past year. Many friends gathered to thank Ruth for her dedication
and leadership of NCACTE.
NCHOETA would like to thank Alista ―Cozzie‖ Watkins, a new member and teacher, Crystal PaytonDemry, and Dianne Wall for serving as delegates at the NCACTE Assembly of Delegates on July 21.
NCHOETA held a business meeting on July 20, 2010. Although membership is down from the 2009-2010
year, NCHOETA had 45 membership forms completed during the conference. Renewal notices for
members will be mailed this fall. Don’t forget to renew you membership! New members can go to
NCACTE.org for an online membership form or email Audrey Massengill, NCHOETA President to request

LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM ANNOUNCED
Aaron Fleming, Chairman of the Legislative Committee, has released the
NCACTE Legislative Platform for 2010-2012. Please review the legislative
platform below. You may contact Aaron at [email protected]
North Carolina Association for Career & Technical Education
Legislative Platform
2010-2012 Biennium
NCACTE will continue to keep legislators and other policymakers informed on how
Career and Technical Education positively affects increased graduation rates and
lower dropout rates statewide. To accomplish this platform, NCACTE supports:
Keeping in place, and preferably increasing, the current level of state funding for
CTE. Such funding could provide local improvements, additional CTE directors
across the state, and enhanced recruitment and retention efforts for CTE
personnel.
Ensuring that CTE is an integral part of dropout prevention funding.
Pay increases for teachers and administrators.
Legislation that requires the State Board of Education to add a required Career
Cluster/CTE Concentration as a part of the future ready core graduation
requirement.
Legislation to increase the funding formula for CTE programs from grades 8
through 12 to grades 6 through 12.
Legislation that would require each Local Education Agency (LEA) in North
Carolina to have a licensed CTE director at the central office level.
Legislation that promotes inclusion of Career and Technical
Organizations within the Career and Technical Education curriculum.
