Shock and Awe

During the NCPN Conference this year I attended a session entitled Shock and Awe. The presentation was about Moberly Area Community College, in Morberly, MO and the way they work to change the perception of CTE through "immersion."

The one thing that stuck with me after the presentation was the way that students play an integral part of their event.

The college invites local instructors to campus to take part in auditing CTE classrooms. This is something that happens on OK through Instructor Boot Camps and other instructor and counselor instructor events.

But what makes the Moberly event different is that instead of the CTE instructor, the classes were led by students!

Students taught instructors about auto mechanics, engineering, and more!

I thought this was a great twist to a traditional professional development event and wanted to make sure that I shared it with you.
