TAFE Blog



For many of  you, we just returned from the TAFE State Teach for Tomorrow Summit and Competition.  Many of you competed and had good results. There is something to be said for giving it a shot.  For a couple of you, you will be moving on to the Educators Rising National Conference in Boston, MA this June.  Congratulations to all who tried!


Some of you chose not to compete.  If you are a junior and did not compete, I hope you will consider it next year.  If you are a senior, I encourage you to get involved in something that brings out the competitive spirit in you.  

This week's blog is for everyone, whether you competed or not.  You will all be able to answer the first few questions.  After that, you will all need to choose one of the specific prompts and address it. Include pictures and links.

Questions for all:
1.  Where was the TAFE State Teach for Tomorrow Summit held?  Give specific information and links to the University.
2.  How did our TAFE Chapter fare in the competitions?  (you can find out on the Wiki)

Choose at least one to write about
1.  What was your favorite aspect of the TAFE Conference?
2.  What is something constructive that you learned from competing at the state level?
3.  If you had a "do-over" on TAFE this year, what would you do differently.
4.  Of the featured speakers at the conference or break out sessions, which one was your favorite and why?  What was their message and why did it resonate with you?

As always, follow the rubric.  Include multimedia and submit on time.  This blog will be due at the end of class on Monday, Feb. 7.
