Professional Development to Support Trauma-Impacted Students
by Geoffrey Warren 24 Sep '25

24 Sep '25

To everyone, (feel free to share this resource) I wish you and your students the best as the weather turns colder and the days grow shorter. It is sometimes called "the most wonderful time of the year" but that is not always true for everyone. As a recent classroom teacher, I remember well the diversity of trauma and support that students may need, even when not faced with peer suicides, daily social media attacks, rifts between family and friends caused by divisive rhetoric, etc. Hopefully your classrooms are a safe space for them to be free from these pressures and perils. This free (through the end of 2025) course was designed to equip you with the tools and understanding needed to respond compassionately and effectively to trauma in educational settings. The details are in the included email below from the Director of CTE at UVU. Also remember that you can log the hours spent on the course toward your relicensure hours and LEA PD goals. "In light of the recent tragic events on our Utah Valley University campus, we are reminded of the critical need to support students and educators as they recover from trauma. Over a year ago, UVU’s Professional Education team launched a course titled “Trauma-Informed Student Support”, designed to equip educators with the tools and understanding needed to respond compassionately and effectively to trauma in educational settings. Due to a significant recent increase in enrollments and recognizing the emotional impact events like this have across our communities, we are offering this course free of charge to all local educators—including those in K-12, colleges, and universities—through the end of 2025.

Newsletter Attempt
by Geoffrey Warren 18 Sep '25

18 Sep '25

Hey all, I'm attempting to begin a newsletter/site that will have information for each of my pathways including events, announcements, and other nice-to-know information so that I can reduce the number of times I spam the email lists with promotions/messages. I will update it as events are announced and try to only send out blast-emails monthly. This is a quick, first attempt and I'm sure I'm missing lots of information. Please let me know your events, scholarships, and celebrations to be featured here too. Please check out the link: https://my-cte-newsletter.my.canva.site/ , send all compliments to me, and any complaints to also me... 🙂 [cid:a015490b-9380-486c-a756-ba1bd65afe18] Geoff Warren CTE Education Specialist Aviation [join the Aviation listserv]<https://lists.uen.org/mailman3/lists/cte_aviation.lists.uen.org/> Broadcasting & Digital Media* [join the Broadcasting listserv]<https://lists.uen.org/mailman3/lists/cte_broadcasting_technology.lists.uen.…> Personal Care [join the Cosmetology listserv]<https://lists.uen.org/mailman3/lists/personal_services.lists.uen.org/> Hours: 8a - 4p M-F O: 801-538-7868 [cid:adbdc6f9-34f3-4890-8f79-8bb238fba68e]<https://outlook.office.com/owa/calendar/MeetwithGeoff@schools.utah.gov/book…> [cid:a11bcb43-eed8-4347-8f56-4932448e37e1] "Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will." -- Suzy Kassem

Focusing on Adaptability - Durable Skills in Your Classrooms
by Geoffrey Warren 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

Dear CTE Teachers, This month we're diving into one of Utah's essential Durable Skills: Adaptability. In today's rapidly evolving job market, the ability to recover from difficulties, adapt to stressors, and persevere when faced with challenges and setbacks is paramount. The attachment is a flyer for you to put up in your classroom to help students define adaptability and how they could see it in their classroom or industry. Please print this out and put it up in your classroom to help students recognize the durable skills they are learning in your classroom! Why Adaptability Matters in CTE: Our CTE students will enter dynamic industries where change is the only constant. Fostering adaptability ensures they can: * Navigate new technologies and procedures with confidence. * Problem-solve effectively when unexpected issues arise. * Bounce back from setbacks and learn from mistakes. * Embrace continuous learning and improvement throughout their careers. Teaching Adaptability in CTE Courses – Practical Ideas: Here are some specific ways you can integrate and teach adaptability within your CTE programs: * Scenario-Based Learning: Present students with unexpected project changes, equipment malfunctions, or client requirement shifts. Ask them to brainstorm solutions and adjust their plans. Example: In a culinary arts class, suddenly announce a key ingredient is unavailable and have students reformulate a dish. * "Pivot" Projects: Assign projects with an initial set of parameters, then halfway through, introduce a significant change that requires them to reorganize, reprioritize, and adjust their approach. Example: In a marketing class, have students develop a campaign, then tell them the target demographic has completely changed, requiring a new strategy. * Troubleshooting and Debugging: Dedicate time to structured troubleshooting exercises. Encourage a "growth mindset" when facing difficulties, emphasizing that challenges are opportunities for learning. Example: In an Computer Science class, provide code with intentional errors and guide students through the debugging process, highlighting persistence. * Guest Speakers Sharing "Failure" Stories: Invite industry professionals to share examples of times they faced significant challenges or setbacks in their careers and how they adapted and overcame them. Invite your industry advisory board members to share their experiences being adaptable in their workplace. * Reflection on Setbacks: After a project or task, facilitate discussions where students reflect on unexpected issues they encountered and how they responded. What did they learn about themselves and their ability to adapt? This fosters "self-reflection". * Open-Ended Problem Solving: Present problems without a single, clear solution, requiring students to research, experiment, and adapt their strategies based on outcomes. * Simulated Workplace Environments: Create classroom scenarios that mimic the unpredictability of a real workplace, where deadlines shift, resources change, or team dynamics evolve. Please share how you're integrating adaptability in your classroom. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdj52PLyF4E4Y-ndrXtr_WPmv6X20g6Hmr… We'll be highlighting your success stories in subsequent emails, helping other teachers discover effective strategies for their own classrooms. Thank you for your continued support of the CTE Durable Skills!

Broadcast Equipment
by Shawn Astin 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Hello! I am working on purchasing some broadcast equipment for the school year and wanted to know if you had some recommendations. We have a $2,500 grant. I am planning to set up our video broadcast with two camcorder/webcams and use OBS to stream to YouTube. I might use an Atem Mini or another streaming switcher. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks! All The Best,
