power supplies used in today’s automobiles. Examples used
during the discussion will show that the traditional educational
approach to electronics training will be untenable in the future.

MLR, AST and MAST.

Construction Apprenticeship Opportunities
Dr. Jeanne Fredericks

Associated Builders & Contractors of Indiana/Kentucky (ABC)
offers one such program. Students at ABC earn while they
learn! Apprenticeships include classroom /lab instruction as well

All in: Building Positive Communities
Dee Love, MA, CFLE
Purdue University Extension Department, HDFS Dept.
Purdue Extension’s “All In: Building Positive Communities” is a
unique approach to empower individuals to combat ostracism,
social rejection, and harassment in meaningful ways at the
community level. Utilizing cutting-edge research by Purdue
University Professor of Psychological Sciences, Dr. Kip Williams,
with a powerful, highly acclaimed documentary film, Reject,
Purdue Extension educators conducted a series of pilot
community forums in Indiana. The forum outcomes demonstrate
increased awareness of the harmful effects of social rejection. As
a result, action plans implemented at the local level are helping
to prevent negative behaviors that exclude others, and new
programs are creating more positive, inclusive communities. The
“All In” initiative is utilizing a series of evaluations to document
short/long-term community impact results.

communication skills needed by successful sales professionals
and CDE competitors alike. Session participants will have the

The Great Need: Restoring CTE in Indiana
Dr. Cindy Crowder, Dr. Kara Harris, and Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Indiana State University
The past few years have been a challenge for CTE Teacher
Preparation Programs, causing some university programs to suffer
low enrollments and/or close across the country. We are looking
for innovative ways, not only to sustain CTE areas at Indiana
State, but to continue and create thriving programs that will
assist in increasing the numbers of CTE teachers. We believe our
new collaborative idea will best serve the needs of present and
future students, schools, and practicing teachers. We will ask for
your thoughts on (within CTE areas) where you are experiencing
or anticipate a surplus of teachers, teacher shortages,
recertification/professional development needs or desires,
additional dual credit opportunities, etc.
Presenters will be: Dr. Cindy Crowder, Dr. Kara Harris, and Dr.
Kelly Wilkinson, all from ISU

Teacher to student and student to student. Since the role of the
teacher has changed from presenter of content to learning
coach, you can spend your time talking to your students. Our
role is answering questions, working with small groups, and
guiding the learning of each student individually. Find out how
