This blog series provides readers with insight on the valuable content that is being shared at the Career Clusters ® Institute. Guest bloggers are among teachers, faculty, researchers and other experts that will present at the national gathering in Fort Worth, TX in June. Today’s guest blogger is Sherilyn Lau, Perkins Administrator at the Hawaii Department of Education.
In this session, you’ll learn how to engage business and industry so that they are central to your program improvement efforts and ambassadors for your program. You will also participate in a problem-based scenario similar to what students experience in the statewide performance-based assessment event.
