This years BioTech Symposium was a big success, we had winners of the contest for scholarships at SLCC and UVU. Please follow the link to view the results and winners. https://sites.google.com/site/biotechnologypostersymposium/

Sponsored by ITEEA and Paxton/Patterson, the Program Excellence Award is one of the highest honors given to Technology Education classroom teachers on the elementary, middle or high school levels.  It is presented in recognition of outstanding contributions to the profession and students.  Schools from all over the United States and around the world compete for this honor.

Each year the Program Excellence winners are recognized at the largest conference for Technology Educators in the world.  This year the program at JATC was recognized at the first general session of the conference where the award plaques and pins were presented.  A synopsis of our program was displayed through a multimedia presentation.

The teachers for this program are Michael Smoot and Kirk Terry. They have been Engineering Education educators at the JATC since 2003.

We appreciate your support of our program which contributed significantly to our ability to earn this distinction. We look forward to you visiting our technology education lab at your earliest convenience. Your presence in our lab would excite our students even more.

Education students attended the FCCLA Fall Leadership Conference and heard from a number of excellent speakers.

TIPS FOR LEADERS

• Take Pride in What You Do
• Self Validate
• Be Grateful (Say Thanks)
• Leadership Can Be Lonely (Act in Best Interests)
• Jump in Before Being Asked
• State What You Want (Set Goals)
• Seek Constant Improvement

The keynote speaker was Sean Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and the 6 Most Important Decisions You’ll Ever Make. He addressed the critical choices that teens face today, and how they can apply the 7 Habits to unleash their individual greatness. The keynote was followed by a number of breakout sessions.

We are looking forward to the great things ambassadors are planning for the 2011-2012 school year
