SUMMARY:Hard Hats\, Bright Futures! How Gen-Z is Redefining Success and Embracing Careers in Skilled Trades
DESCRIPTION:Hard Hats! Bright Futures! How Gen Z Is Redefining Success explores how today’s students are reshaping postsecondary decision-making and what that means for effective school counseling. Designed for counselors and advisors\, this session reframes postsecondary education as a set of multiple\, equally valid pathways—including apprenticeships\, skilled trades\, technical education\, community colleges\, and four-year degrees—rather than a single hierarchy. Participants will examine labor market realities in Kentucky\, unpack common data and advising biases that unintentionally elevate one path over others\, and gain concrete strategies for helping students identify best-fit options based on interests\, learning style\, financial realities\, and career goals. The presentation highlights Kentucky-specific workforce data\, CTE pathways\, apprenticeships\, and stackable credentials\, equipping counselors with practical tools and language to confidently guide students and families toward informed\, aligned postsecondary choices in a “college and careers” reality.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Capacity for AI Leadership in Schools
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence rapidly enters classrooms\, schools are facing pressure to adopt tools faster than they can fully understand their impact. This session takes a balanced approach to AI in education\, grounded in research\, child development\, and lessons learned from past waves of technology adoption accelerated by COVID.Participants will examine national trends in AI use\, school spending\, and emerging evidence on inequities\, unintended harms\, and engagement-driven design. Rather than framing AI as something to race toward or resist\, this session centers the need for pre-investment in capacity\, guardrails\, and shared understanding to avoid repeating mistakes made during large-scale edtech adoption.This session explores who should lead AI decision-making\, how to evaluate tools through a developmental and instructional lens\, and how to build staff and student readiness before implementation. Participants will leave with strategies to guide AI use thoughtfully\, align decisions with student well-being and learning goals\, and lead with clarity during uncertainty. This session focuses on leadership\, preparation\, and systems-level thinking rather than reactive adoption.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Certification: Why the Process Matters for Students with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Industry credentials matterbut they are only part of the story. While certifications represent the product\, durable employability skills such as problem-solving\, communication\, adaptability\, and persistence are developed through the learning process students engage in while earning them. This session challenges CTE educators to design instruction that builds both intentionally.Participants will explore the distinction between product (credential attainment) and process (skill development) and examine why many students earn certifications yet struggle to transfer skills to real-world settings. Grounded in the Predictors of Postschool Success (PISA)\, this session highlights how structured practice\, feedback\, collaboration\, and authentic problem-solving experiences directly strengthen postsecondary and employment outcomes.The session will also connect Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to transition-focused instruction. Educators will examine how multiple means of engagement\, representation\, and action/expression can intentionally support IEP transition goals while strengthening workforce readiness for all studentsincluding those with disabilities.Through examples\, reflection activities\, and practical strategies\, participants will leave with actionable approaches to embed employability skill development into existing CTE coursework without sacrificing credential attainment.

DESCRIPTION:After your students have designed their gorgeous websites\, how can they share them with the world? The answer is a Linux web server! My district will never let students upload websites to the wide open Internet! I hear some of you say. Fear not! Its incredibly easy to have a local server where your students can upload their sites and only students in your classroom can see them. During this presentation\, some of the things we will cover are 1) why exposure to Linux is important for budding web designers\, 2) how you can setup Linux using just my Windows PC\, 3) Linux commands any user should know\, 4) and how students can connect and upload their work to a Linux server. Instructional videos and PDF cheat sheets will be provided that can be used free of charge in your classrooms.

SUMMARY:Surviving Your First Years of Teaching: Emotions\, Classroom Foundations\, and High-Yield Strategies
DESCRIPTION:New teachers don't struggle because they lack effort or care. They struggle because no one teaches them how to survive the emotional and structural realities of the job. This session is designed for early-career educators and those who support them. Drawing from classroom experience and the forthcoming book Surviving Your First Years of Teaching\, this presentation explores the often-unspoken emotional challenges of year one and beyond\, alongside the classroom foundations that actually make teaching sustainable. Participants will examine common myths about natural teachers\, the hidden causes of burnout\, and the emotional load that comes with managing students\, systems\, and expectations. From there\, the session shifts into high-yield strategies: practical classroom structures\, routines\, and decision-making frameworks that reduce stress\, improve student engagement\, and protect teacher longevity. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of why the first years feel so destabilizing\, along with concrete tools they can apply immediately to create calmer\, more effective classrooms that last.

SUMMARY:Growing High-Impact CTE Programs Through Communication\, Data Reflection\, and Partnerships. Highlights and Successes from a top 5% career readiness KY high school
DESCRIPTION:In my service as our CTE Coordinator I have coordinated with our students\, leadership team\, CTE departments\, and community stakeholders to identify areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our CTE programs. This systems-based approach has supported significant growth in post-secondary readiness the last few school years\, with our school earning the highest postsecondary readiness score in its history on recent state accountability measures. This session highlights the key strategies that drove that growth. Our work centered on elevating student voice\, restructuring scheduling through advocacy to ensure pathway access and clarity in communication\, informational posters that are personalized to our school/district\, highlighted communications through our school news program and our local news programs within our community\, reflecting on workforce and accountability data to align programs with employability trends and community needs. Through strong PLC collaboration\, shared leadership among counselors and pathway teachers\, intentional community partnerships\, and the implementation of a readiness tracker\, we created a unified\, outcomes-driven CTE system. Participants of this session have opportunity to gain practical strategies that have been utilized by our team that have supported team alignment\, practical and repeatable data reflection\, and building pathways and learning opportunities that meet specific student needs.
