July 29, 2015
On behalf of the Executive Board of the Virginia Association of Trade and Industrial Educators,
welcome to the 2015 Professional Development Conference. We are very excited to be here in Roanoke
this summer, where it is refreshing to return to the mountains for a nice stay.
As we embark on a brand new school year, we have worked very hard this year to make this year’s
conference both meaningful and beneficial. It is always good to start the year off with great information
and new tools to share with our fellow instructors and especially with our students.
Thank you to those who have offered suggestions, prepared workshops, contacted and arranged for
vendors to attend, and have provided beneficial services and resources for this year’s event. We couldn’t
do this without your help and support and continue to ask for suggestions for future conference
workshops and conference locations. We also ask for current and future lead teachers to get involved
early in planning for technical update days and courses for future conferences.
In conjunction with Virginia ACTE, we would also like to ask for your input and support on education
legislation that specifically involves CTE and Trade and Industrial Education courses. We would like to
provide Virginia ACTE with as much information as possible on bills in the Virginia General Assembly
that affect us as a whole or our individual programs. Together, we can make it work!
Again, we are glad to see each of you and happy that you chose to be a part of your professional
organization. We hope that you thoroughly enjoy the Greater Roanoke Valley and leave this conference
refreshed, revitalized, and full of excitement and information to start the 2015-2016 school year off
right!

3:00 p.m.-3:50 p.m. S/P2 – Creating a Safety Culture
for Your Classroom and Beyond
Salon A
No matter what type of curriculum you are teaching, your students
are presented with a number of safety risks when they enter the
classroom. From welders, power tools, sharp knives, and chemicals
to first aid, you need to make sure that students have their eye
on safety before they start hands-on training. The reality is that
the majority of accidents that happen with youth workers can be
prevented with timely and comprehensive safety awareness training.
In this workshop, you will learn ways to protect your school, your
students, and yourself by creating a safety culture that will extend
beyond the classroom to the workplace. Donna Massey, account
manager for S/P2, will talk about classroom risks and explain how
industry-specific online training can put your students ahead of the
game when it comes to safety.

Saturday-Monday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. OSHA 500
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Instruction and
Training Services: Maintaining a safe working environment for students has been a top
priority for the Office of Career and Technical Education Services. As a result, OSHA training
courses were introduced by VDOE to maintain standards established by federal and state
laws related to health and safety.
The OSHA 500 is designed for instructors to award students the 10- and 30-hour construction
safety and health Outreach Training Program. The OSHA 500 is also for any instructor
seeking recertification. In 2010, the federal requirement was changed to include the OSHA
510 as a prerequisite. The OSHA 510 and 500 training services remain effective and the Office
of Career and Technical Education Services will continue to work with the Department of
Labor to ensure that instructors are updated with current OSHA construction standards,
policies, and regulations.
Participants who successfully complete this OSHA training will be able to teach OSHA 10and 30- hour construction safety courses to their students in the classroom. All instructors
will receive a hard-copy manual, a CD, and over 80 PowerPoint presentations on OSHA
standards.
Presenter: Representatives of West Virginia University
