President’s Corner:
An Update from CACTE President Dr. Michael Siegrist
PRESIDENT’S CORNER
A Periodic Update from the CACTE President
January 29, 2013 Colleagues: I would like to start a habit each month and write a bit about one of the many individuals either serving in a leadership role in CACTE, or those individuals or industries who educate those who are highly trained to be a part of a productive workforce. CACTE President Dr. Michael Siegrist This month the CACTE board is pleased to welcome Jonathan Howard as the new STEM president‐elect. Jonathan is a new and welcome addition to the CTE board team here in Colorado. Jonathan Howard has served as a music and audio production instructor at the Denver School of the Arts since 2003 and at the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, MN from 1994‐2003. His program at the Denver School of the Arts trains students to master the skills Jonathan Howard involved in engineering sound for live performances and studio recording. Jonathan also teaches a Math Infused Audio Production course which allows students to explore the embedded mathematical principles that exist in the study of acoustics, audio production and music composition. He has been instrumental in expanding opportunities for CTE students in the area of Technical Arts through helping to develop the Creative Careers Student Organization and the annual Creative Careers Festival that started in 2010. Jonathan has served two terms as the Treasurer for the STEM, Arts and IT Division of CACTE. He is a member of the Arts and A/V Content Team and helped in the development of the Technical Theatre standards for the State of Colorado and the - Page 4 of 23 -
alignment of CTE and Academic standards. He has assisted in the facilitation for the Math‐
in‐CTE program for Denver Public Schools and currently serves as a member of the Design Team that is charged with developing the implementation of the Student Assessment component of the new Colorado Teacher Evaluation System. In 2011, Jonathan was awarded the Merit Award to an Educator at the 2011 CACTE Conference for his work in developing new and innovative programs for CTE students. Jonathan was also selected for this year’s national ACTE fellowship program representing Region V for one year term. In this capacity, Jonathan will promote the image of Career and Technical Education and provide an understanding of policies related to Career and Technical Education. We also want to congratulate our very own CACTE president‐elect Jennifer Vander Meer for being selected into this year’s Region V fellowship program for a two year term. Both Jonathan and Jennifer will be required to attend the ACTE Annual Convention, the ACTE National Policy Seminar, and the state association conference. Jonathan and Jennifer will have a busy year, as well as the schedule of events ahead that will keep everyone busy. Jennifer Vander Meer Remember we have some upcoming events: 
Agriculture Education: Mid‐Winter Conference in Colorado Springs February 1‐2. 
2013 CACTA MidWinter Conference will be held February 4 –7 at the Antler’s Hilton Hotel in Colorado Springs. 
The annual CACTE‘s Day at the Capitol will be held on February 12 in Denver. 
The National Policy Seminar will be held in Washington D.C. March 4–6. 
STEM, Arts and IT: Creative Careers Festival will be April 19 on the Auraria campus. It will be a busy year ahead indeed. So on behalf of the executive committee and everyone on the board committee, I want to say thanks again to Jonathan, for stepping forward to help lead the STEM division, we all look forward to working with you in the upcoming year. Finally as a member and/or a valued colleague, we would like your input! Please take a minute and give us your feedback for the location of the summer 2014 "CACTE Collaborative Summit” at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YL2FW23 - Page 5 of 23 -

Emily Griffith Technical College Making Concerted Effort to
Recruit Females into Programs Typically Populated by Males
Emily Griffith Technical College Dean of Trades and
Industry Brad Vickers tells CTE Trends that EGTC has been
making a concerted effort to recruit women into program
areas that have traditionally been populated by male
students. Vickers says the college has found that women
enrolled in programs such as Aircraft Training and
Maintenance, Automotive Technology/Collision Repair, HVAC
and Welding have historically excelled.
EGTC is currently planning a program for female high school
students who have excellent grades and attendance, in which they will be released to attend a
special automotive course, held over four Fridays. The course will demonstrate the importance of
proper maintenance, how to perform basic service, plus, the students will get to explore the many
career opportunities in the automotive service industry. Vickers says, “Even if they decide that
automotive service is not a career they wish to pursue, this course will result in these students
being better informed and confident when working with a service provider. “
In the past five months, EGTC has hired two new educators to their Technical Trade and Industrial
Education team. Both happen to be women in non-traditional careers. Janet Corio is a Lab Tech
Assistant in EGTC’s HVAC program and Emily Waser is an Auto Collision Technology
instructor. Janet and Emily have participated in many EGTC recruiting and public relations events
where they have been seen as proof that females can have a rewarding career in these areas.
They also serve as role models to those considering, or currently pursuing, a non-traditional
career path.

CTE NEWS Pueblo Community College Showcases Their
New Simulation Lab at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center
PUEBLO - The January 21 community open house to
showcase Pueblo Community College’s new Simulation
Lab at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center was a big
success. Both community and PCC advisory council and
foundation board members turned out to join employees of
the two institutions in checking out the facility which is
located on a sixth-floor wing of the hospital’s east tower.
PCC Nursing Department Chair Eva Tapia
PCC nursing students were available to demonstrate the
Simulation Lab’s six simulators and other state-of-theart equipment that was purchased through federal Carl Perkins funding.
PCC Simulation Lab Coordinator Chyrstal Stark - Page 14 of 23 -
Preceding the open house was a news conference at which
PCC Simulation Lab Coordinator Chyrstal Stark served as
emcee and explained how the lab helps students develop
critical thinking skills. Later in the program, Nursing
Department Chair Eva Tapia noted how the facility helps
students learn, process and use information in nonthreatening situations thus making graduates more workready. The Simulation Lab is also used by the hospital
nursing staff to provide training opportunities and assess
competencies.
The individual benefits of the new Simulation Lab were stressed by PCC President Patty Erjavec,
while Saint Mary-Corwin Medical Center CEO Rob Ryder noted its many community benefits.
PCC Nursing students show off their new in‐hospital Simulation Lab. – CLICK BROWSER BACK BUTTON TO RETURN TO ISSUE INDEX – Community College of Aurora Student First in State in
Recent North American Cisco Competition
An old hand at Community College of Aurora has a
new handle: No. 1 in the state in a recent North
American competition hosted by a worldwide computing
leader.
Eric Withrow, who has been attending classes at the
college since he was a Grandview High School student
in 2001, entered the Cisco Networking Academy
NetRiders post-secondary competition essentially for
fun. The interactive contest was comprised of three total
rounds and tested a range of IT skills through a series of exams and simulation activities.
Eric Withrow Hundreds of competitors were whittled down to just 94 finalists reaching the rigorous third and
final round. Withrow – who finished first in the initial two rounds among five in-state competitors –
was 18th overall in the United States and Canada when the final results were tallied.
“I’m certainly happy with that,” said Withrow, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in
Computer Science from Georgia Tech after his initial CCA experience as a high school student.
“There was a lot of competitors that were very talented and I was happy with my ranking. I wasn’t
out to get first place or anything. The most important thing to me was just having fun.”
But the offshoot of participating went beyond testing his limits. Withrow, currently Chief
Technology Officer at Mattress Firm locally, is currently turning to CCA to prepare to gain
certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), which is a top-tier designation in
the field.
- Page 15 of 23 -
The competition, in a sense, served as a primer for future exams related to that personal mission.
“It really helped with that,” he explained, “because after all these rounds, taking probably four
theoretical exams and two simulation exams, it’s great preparation for the CCNA. I can probably
go into the test and pass it with flying colors with Cisco.”
Even if he attains that goal, Withrow figures to continue filling in the blanks on his resume at the
college. He even transferred credits taking summer classes while attending Georgia Tech, and he’s
since kept current on computer technology with individual classes at CCA.
“The nice thing is the program is constantly evolving,” he said. “When I started taking computer
classes at Grandview at CCA it was something that’s not even relevant today (Visual Basic
programming), whereas today I can go take a .NET programming class or whatever. The
technology is constantly changing, so I just look up the schedule, see the newest thing and
do that.”
Withrow has taken various Cisco coursework at CCA through the spring and fall semesters this
year, feeding into his love of technology. “It’s all about continuing education,” he said.
The Cisco Networking Academy NetRiders post-secondary competition started with a firstround qualifier from Oct. 15-26 and the top five scores per academy advanced. Withrow was tops
in the state, with four students from Colorado Mesa University/Western Colorado
Community College comprising the rest of those moving on from his group. Only two Colorado
qualifiers advanced out of Round 2 after a pair of two 60-minute exams between Nov. 5-16.
That led to the finale, which boasted a top prize of a study trip to Cisco Headquarters for the top
scorers from Canada and the U.S., plus the next two top scores.
Withrow won’t be making that trip but was hardly defeated by that prospect.
“I didn’t think I’d make it past the first or second round. But the rankings kept coming out and I
kept showing up, ‘first place, first place,’ which was really surprising. The final round was really
challenging. It was a marathon four-hour exam. It was one of the hardest tests I’ve probably ever
taken. … But It was really to see how far I could go, and I met my goal.” By Community College of Aurora Coordinator of Public Relations Lee Rasizer. – CLICK BROWSER BACK BUTTON TO RETURN TO ISSUE INDEX –

CTSO Related Greeley District 6’s Health Science Academy Leverages
Partnership with Banner Health Systems and Community
Colleges to Deliver Outstanding Career Education:
Academy’s New HOSA Chapter Already Making a Big Splash GREELEY - 2012-13 marks the inaugural school
year of the Greeley District 6 Health Science
Academy, a magnet program, based out of
Central High School, designed for high school
students desiring exposure to the health
professions. District 6 has reorganized their high
schools around career clusters. As such, students
choose the career cluster they are interested in and
then attend the high school where it is housed
(e.g., Health Science students from across the
district are attending Central instead of their
neighborhood high school).
Health Science Academy Pharmacy Technician student Michelle Delgado explores the operation of the DaVinci surgical robot under the supervision of Dr. Paul Hiratzka during an open house event at Northern Colorado Medical Center.
District 6 and their Health Science Academy are
fortunate to have a unique partnership with
North Colorado Medical Center (NCMC) and its parent organization Banner Health Systems.
This partnership has already yielded rich results in its first semester and is guaranteeing clinical
access for health science students.
So far this year, the academy’s Pharmacy Technician
students have benefited from a series of guest speakers
discussing major topics of the field. Pharmacists,
pharmacy technicians, physicians and nurses have all
presented to the academy students on topics such as
pharmacy practice in the retail setting, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, compounding of
intravenous medications, the chemistry of
antibiotics (including the beta-lactam ring) and the
Northern Colorado Medical Center establishment of a Health Occupations Students of
America (HOSA) chapter at the academy.
Generous support from Greeley’s health professions community has also afforded the academy’s
students the opportunity to take field trips to a retail pharmacy and the DaVinci Robotic
Surgery Suite, Sleep Center and In-Patient Pharmacy at NCMC. Three of the academy’s
advisory committee founders, Patti Smith, R.N., Natalie Yount, Pharm.D. and Orinda
McIntire, Pharm.D., have been instrumental in making these experiences possible.
The generous support of NCMC and Banner Health Systems has included construction of a state
of the art classroom at the Health Science Academy. This classroom features hospital beds,
training mannequins, anatomical models, molecular model kits, a Promethean
interactive display board, a classroom set of laptop computers, blood pressure
- Page 17 of 23 -
monitoring equipment, pharmacy compounding equipment and textbooks for our courses.
These resources have been put to daily use and greatly enhance the learning environment.
While completing a unit on anti-infective drugs, Pharmacy Technician students at the Health
Science Academy built models of the anti-viral medication acyclovir. This allowed them to see
how this drug interferes with DNA replication in a herpes virus.
Health Science Academy students are regularly assigned group and individual projects. As an
example, students were recently given the task of researching respiratory drugs and presenting
their findings as Prezi or Power Point presentations using the Promethean interactive display
board. This enabled students to practice professional communication skills while learning the
technical details of health care.
The Health Science Academy is able to provide college-level training through collaboration with
Arapahoe Community College and Aims Community College. Through this partnership, academy
students are able to earn college credit that can be applied toward completion of a degree once
they graduate high school.
To ensure the quality of the academy’s programs, teams from these community colleges have
made frequent visits to our classrooms not only to observe our students, but to provide valuable
guidance and assistance to the instructors.
The trio of teachers leading the Health Science Academy this year are Markee Swank, who
teaches introductory science courses, Tae Stamper who teaches the Health Science Technical
Education (HSTE) course, and Sean P. Madden, who teaches the pharmacy technician class. All
three instructors are veteran teachers with experience in health care.
The goal of all the instructors and supporting volunteers is that the academy exposes its students
to the excitement and demands of a career in health care. This includes the goal of preparing the
Pharmacy Technician students to take and pass the Pharmacy Technician Certification
Board Exam (PTCB). Academy students are also already serving as great teachers and role
models. For instance, this year students in the Pharmacy Technician HOSA Chapter organized
volunteer activities that included participation in a Suicide Education and Support Services
(SESS) fundraising event, an American Cancer Society event called “Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer,” hosting a robotics demonstration booth at the NCMC Open House
and participation in the Colorado HOSA State Leadership Conference in Denver.
In the academy’s first year it has enjoyed enthusiastic participation in the Health Science Academy
program by over 60 students from all over Greeley and the generous support of health care
professionals in the community. The academy looks forward to strengthening its program through
continued collaboration with these partners. By Health Science Academy Pharmacy Technician Instructor Sean P. Madden. – CLICK BROWSER BACK BUTTON TO RETURN TO ISSUE INDEX –

Social Media Director of Top Fort Collins Marketing Company
Tells Newspaper that DECA Launched Her Down
Her Career Path
As Social Media Director for Mantooth Marketing Kerrie Luginbill is a young
professional on the management team of one of Fort Collin’s top marketing
companies.
She was recently profiled by the Fort Collin Coloradoan in a question and answer
piece. When the newspaper asked her, “What did you want to be when you grew
up?” Lunginbill replied:
This is going to sound cliché, but I have always wanted to go into public relations and marketing. When I was at Brighton High School I was in a marketing club called DECA. Each year in DECA, members have to create a large marketing campaign to take to a statewide competition, so my senior year of high school I did a public relations campaign about stroke awareness. I ended up placing at state and going to nationals in Dallas, Texas, to present it and I’ve had my heart set on public relations and marketing ever since. Colorado CTSOs give students the leadership experiences they need so that when they reach their
careers they will thrive. During a CTE teacher’s career they become partially responsible for
countless successes like Kerrie Lunginbill. To read the rest of the Coloradoan’s interview with her,
