North Carolina State CTE Conference 2013


This past week Chief Barlow attended the NC State CTE Conference
and presented two sessions.
The first was titled:
How I Teach Public Safety I 
and the Second was 
How to Create a Public Safety Academy in your School
The sessions were very well attended.
Thanks to all that came out and shared.

At the OSFM update session we learned that during the
2012-2013 school year there were 10 HS Fire Academies
and during the
2013-14 school year
there will be 25 HS Fire Academies across the state of NC.
It looks as if there may be as many as 50 within 5 years statewide.  

At the Trade and Industry Division meeting
Chief Barlow was presented with the
NCTIETA New CTE T&I
TEACHER OF THE YEAR AWARD
This means that Chief Barlow will be going through a
Portfolio evaluation process this year to compete for the
North Carolina CTE Teacher of the Year for next year.
