Letter from Georgia’s State School Superintendent

May 9, 2016

Dear NACTEI Members and Guests,

Welcome to Savannah, Georgia for the 36th Annual National Association for Career & Technical

Education Information (NACTEI) Conference! I am so pleased you will be spending time in our great

state, and I hope you will leave this conference inspired and ready to extend excellent CTE opportunities

to your students.

Georgia truly embodies the conference theme of “CTE on My Mind.” More than 326,000 students at 450

high schools are enrolled in Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) courses, representing

61 percent of high school students and 56.8 percent of middle school students. Georgia students earned

22,000 industry credentials in FY 2015, and our graduation rate for students who complete a CTAE

Career Pathway is 89 percent.

Our state leadership continues to work toward strengthening the position of career and technical education

in Georgia’s schools. Recently, we have worked to connect business and industry leaders with schools –

participating in listening sessions to learn how we’re doing in supplying labor force needs, and hosting

“Partners Educating Georgia’s Future Workforce” meetings across the state. In addition, we’re working

to make economic development resources available to educators and business partners.

I offer my best wishes for a successful conference and an enjoyable stay in Savannah. Thank you for all

you do to support students and set them on the path to fulfilling careers!

Sincerely,

Richard Woods

Georgia’s State School Superintendent


Sponsors We truly appreciate the support of the following NACTEI sponsors. Their involvement means a great

deal to the Association. We hope, as a member of NACTEI, you will show them your support and share

your appreciation.

Letter from NACTEI President

Dear Conference Participant:

Welcome to the 36th Annual Conference of the National Association for Career & Technical Education

Information (NACTEI), and to beautiful Savannah. The NACTEI Board appreciates your attendance and

participation at its annual conference.

Our conference theme “CTE on My Mind” is very appropriate for the location of the conference and

the atmosphere around Perkins and upcoming Perkins reauthorization. Now is the time to consider

what should be included in the reauthorization and to advocate for career and technical education’s future.

We only succeed if we have people at our conference. We only succeed if we develop friendships with

many needed partners. That is the purpose of our organization, as mentioned in our By-laws:

1. Serve as a forum for exchanging ideas and methods relating to Career and Technical Education

information systems such as data collection, information management, and fiscal transactions.

2. Promote the discussion of, and policy recommendations for, issues related to CTE information

systems.

3. Promote the establishment of effective local, state, and federal CTE information systems.

4. Promote a national CTE communication information network.

5. Sponsor an annual conference on the subject of information pertaining to Career and Technical

Education.

Once again, the conference committee has done an awesome job in selecting a great hotel in a wonderful

location with plenty of access to restaurants and shopping. Savannah is a city rich in culture and history.

I hope you take advantage of the numerous tours of historic and cultural sites there are to enjoy.

With all of the changes swirling around CTE we need to keep ‘CTE on My Mind’. Sometimes in our

particular roles we forget our ultimate goal - helping our CTE students succeed. Let’s think of creative

ways to collect our data and information. Let’s formulate our law so it will not burden our wonderful

teachers. Let’s efficiently showcase our valuable data to our constituents and the general public. We

need to show people that CTE is the answer to at least some of their educational concerns. This is what

our sessions are about - learning how to do it better!

Again, thanks for attending our 36th annual conference. Please remember to mark your calendars for next

year's conference in Little Rock, Arkansas, in May 8-11, 2017. Please enjoy the conference and your stay

in Savannah.

Sarah Galliher

NACTEI President


Letter from the Conference Program Chair

Greetings Conference Attendees:

Welcome to the 36th Annual National Association for Career & Technical Education Information

(NACTEI) Conference in the beautiful setting of Savannah, Georgia. I am delighted to serve as

the Program Chair for this year’s conference. We have numerous sessions with a wide range of

subject matter to keep “CTE on My Mind” as the ever present focus of the conference. The

conference is filled with networking, best practices, and sharing opportunities with people from

all over the United States.

We are excited to implement a new option during the conference this year which will allow

attendees to meet with colleagues and discuss common areas of interests. There are three

common interest group discussion breakouts which include state, post-secondary, or secondary.

This will provide a unique opportunity to share information with peers from different states on

some best practices, concerns, and challenges within CTE.

Michael Brustein will be presenting the latest in Perkins information during the Monday

afternoon session. The format is somewhat different for the Brustein session this year in that

there are two concurrent sessions going on Monday afternoon. There will also be an “Ask the

Lawyer Reception,” following these sessions for the paying attendees of one of these sessions.

This year’s conference is full of valuable information and we are featuring some exceptional

speakers with years of experience in working with Career and Technical Education. On

Tuesday, Matt Arthur with the Technical College System of Georgia will provide a Georgia

welcome and talk about some initiatives the state has implemented. Then on Wednesday,

Kimberly Green and Alisha Hyslop will address the group and provide up-to-date information on

policies and the reauthorization process ahead for Perkins. Finally on Thursday, John Haigh will

provide a historical view of data including updated data and an interactive question opportunity

as well.

Special thanks to our sponsors who help make the conference a success each year. We

appreciate our presenters and the knowledge and the resources they share which we are able to

take with us for future use in our places of employment.

Again, thank you for attending our 36th Annual NACTEI Conference and we hope you learn a lot

of valuable information, network and share with peers, and most of all enjoy this rare

opportunity for focusing on Perkins and CTE with the future of “CTE on Your Mind.”

Respectfully,

Cheryl Cherry, Program Chair
